About

In practice. What you can do with Proton Pass.

Proton Pass is the password manager from Proton, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail and Proton VPN. The vault is end-to-end encrypted and runs on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, the web and the main browsers.

Its free plan is unusually generous: unlimited logins, notes and cards, unlimited devices, passkeys and 10 hide-my-email aliases. Pass Plus ($2.99/month yearly, $4.99 monthly) adds unlimited aliases, a built-in 2FA authenticator, item sharing, Dark Web Monitoring and Emergency Access. Pass Family covers up to 6 people for $4.99/month yearly.
