Proton Pass Reviews

Proton Pass's login forms include data fields for email, username, password, 2FA keys, website, notes, and optional custom fields. In addition, there are designated forms for credit cards, notes on their own, and identities.

A built-in password generator creates random passwords up to 64 characters long or memorable passphrases. These consist of up to ten words and may include capital letters, numbers, and various separators.

Managing passwords with Proton Pass is simple and intuitive. It allows you to pin and unpin passwords to the top of the credential list, making it easier to access your favorites. Plus, all logins are assigned the corresponding logo, which is retrieved automatically from the service’s website.

Proton Pass keeps the history of all logins with information about the last autofill and modification, number of changes, and creation date. Although moving multiple entries simultaneously to your desired vault is possible, drag-and-drop isn’t supported.

Regarding autosaving and auto-filling, Proton Pass makes it available for browsers and Android and iOS devices. It runs smoothly, and we had no issues with it whatsoever.

Proton Pass lets users share individual items or entire vaults. Vaults can be shared via an email invitation, requiring the recipient to register to access them. There are three different permission levels: viewer, editor, or manager.

Single passwords can be shared through a secure link that lets you choose how many times the recipient can view the password and how long the share remains active before it expires. Regardless of the sharing option, it’s possible to permanently remove access whenever you want.

Despite being one of the newest password management solutions, Proton Pass already supports passkeys – a benefit that many of its more established competitors don’t offer. Users can access passkeys through Proton Pass's browser extension and its mobile apps. We recommend using the browser extension as it provides a faster and easier experience.

One of Proton Pass's most valuable features is the hide-my-email aliases. It allows you to register new accounts anonymously using a ‘fake’ email address. For example, once you create an email alias, all emails sent to that alias are forwarded to your private email, allowing you to keep it completely anonymous.

In addition, you can quickly reply to emails using the alias. Essentially, it works as a disguise, providing an excellent countermeasure to phishing attacks or data breaches. If you wish, you can delete your aliases to stop receiving emails. However, when deleted, they’re moved to the trash folder where they can be restored or permanently deleted.

Businesses looking for a full-featured password manager should consider s offerings. It includes all the personal features plus 2FA and policy enforcement, phone support, an admin panel, and activity logs.

Depending on the subscription, you can merge other Proton products with the password manager, protecting your business with a holistic security and privacy system. These include  Proton Mail, Proton Calendar, and Proton VPN.

Proton Pass offers aesthetically pleasing and user-centric apps that are effortless to navigate. In addition to its web vault, Proton Pass has designated apps for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS and even browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

The app features an option for syncing manually, but we didn’t encounter any syncing issues. That said, we assume this is a safety measure for rare events. Proton Pass's apps can be used offline, but unfortunately, you can only access existing items as it’s not possible to create new ones. To make offline access possible, Proton Pass stores your passwords locally with Argon2 password-hashing.

Users get instant access to the vault after registering, but we recommend heading to Proton Pass's account dashboard to set up your accounts first. It includes information on payment methods, appearance, invoices, account recovery, 2FA, and security and privacy options like viewing the event log.

In addition, the main dashboard’s menu has a feedback section with options to contact Proton’s support agents or community via email, X, or Reddit. When you finish it, you can head to your vault and start adding or importing passwords.

has an easy password import functionality, allowing you to import from popular password managers like 1Password and NordPass, as well as from a generic CSV file. Demonstrating its commitment to customer feedback, the import section includes a link for users to request compatibility with password managers not supported by .

With , users can export their data in various formats: an unencrypted CSV file, JSON file, or a PGP-encrypted JSON file that requires a passphrase for access. The PGP-encrypted option is a far superior method of exporting since it ensures your data is not easily accessible in a straightforward file format.

Proton Pass uses AES-256 symmetric-key encryption for all your data with each vault having its own key used for encrypting its items. This is end-to-end encryption built on zero-knowledge architecture, which means you can only decrypt your data on your device.

Attesting to its transparency, Proton Pass is open source and regularly audited by independent third-party cybersecurity professionals. This also means anyone can inspect the app’s code and verify its security and integrity.

Proton Pass offers built-in two-factor authentication (2FA), allowing users to generate authentication codes directly within the password manager. Some might argue that this approach defeats the purpose of 2FA since it won’t require confirmation on a different device. However, for those who value convenience over security, this is a valuable addition.

Depending on the app, users can choose different unlocking methods: none, PIN, password, or biometrics. For further security, you can add an extra password and choose automatic locking after a certain period of inactivity.

There’s also a convenient security dashboard with dark web monitoring and password health, including weak, reused, and excluded items, as well as those without 2FA. The icing on the cake is its advanced security program called Proton Sentinel. It features rigorous challenges for suspicious login attempts, continuous monitoring, escalation of dubious logins to security analysts, and thorough tracking of account changes.

Proton Pass offers plans to meet all needs and budgets, starting with a feature-rich free version that has the industry on its heels. It includes unlimited credentials, password health alerts, two vaults, up to ten email aliases, and even support for passkeys.

Paid subscriptions start at per month with annual billing for Pass Plus. This is a price reduction over the monthly cycle, so it’s worth committing long-term. It includes 50 vaults, unlimited aliases, integrated 2FA, password history, and the advanced security program, Proton Sentinel.

also has a family subscription that offers accounts for up to six users. This is the best possible subscription choice if you split the monthly cost, totaling only $0.83 per month per user. It includes or upgrades the features from Pass Plus, such as offering 50 vaults for each family member.

Businesses are also considered, with plans designated to teams of all sizes. These subscriptions have features like team collaboration, team policies, security compliance, attachment storage, and even a VPN.

The company has a 30-day money-back guarantee policy and accepts payments via debit cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, cash, and bank transfers.

This password manager includes a few resources, such as a blog with news and product updates, guides, video tutorials, and FAQs. For customer support, you can use the contact form on the website or the email submission option via its apps.

After submitting several email support requests over the course of a week as a free tier user, response times ranged from one hour to two days. While Proton Pass states that their average reply time is 24 hours, it’s not guaranteed as priority is given to paid subscribers.

Still, other channels are available to get support, such as its designated subreddit. In addition, it has official accounts and channels on YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, Whatsapp, and others.

Alongside features like autofill, passkeys, integrated 2FA, and offline access, offers email aliases, letting you register accounts completely anonymously. The only potential concerns are its inconsistent customer support reply time, unsupported drag-and-drop, and read-only offline access. Although these may influence a customer’s decision, they are not decisive factors for most.

provides a feature-rich free version that’s more than sufficient for simple and secure password management.
