What is Proton Pass?

Proton Pass is a password manager built by Proton, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail, using end-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption so that even Proton cannot read stored passwords or notes. It stores and autofills logins, secure notes, and credit cards, and generates passwords, with passkey support for sites that accept them. Its hide-my-email aliasing feature lets a user create a masked email address for any signup — the free plan includes 10 aliases, and paid plans remove the cap — so a compromised alias can be disabled without exposing the user's real inbox. Beyond aliasing, paid Pass Plus adds a built-in 2FA (two-factor authentication) code generator, dark web monitoring that alerts on breached credentials, encrypted vault sharing with other Proton Pass users, and file attachments inside vault items. Like the rest of Proton's suite, Pass client apps are open source under GPL-3.0 and available across desktop, mobile, and as browser extensions, and its best per-dollar value comes from bundling into the broader Proton Unlimited plan rather than buying Pass alone.

Proton Pass is an end-to-end encrypted, zero-knowledge password manager from Proton with a free tier that includes unlimited logins, notes, and credit cards plus 10 hide-my-email aliases. Pass Plus starts at $1.99/month (Proton's own lowest published rate, billed annually) and adds unlimited aliases, a built-in 2FA authenticator, dark web monitoring, secure vault sharing, and file attachments; the broader Proton Unlimited bundle costs $12.99/month and adds Mail, Calendar, VPN, and Drive. Proton Pass client apps are open source (GPL-3.0) on GitHub and available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and as browser extensions for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. It holds a 4.9-star rating from 7 reviews on Capterra.

Standout feature: Unlimited hide-my-email aliases (10 free, unlimited on Pass Plus) let a user mask their real email address per signup without a separate aliasing service.

Biggest weakness: The free plan caps hide-my-email aliases at 10 and lacks the built-in 2FA authenticator and dark web monitoring bundled into Pass Plus; like the rest of Proton's product line, getting the best per-dollar value requires bundling into the pricier Proton Unlimited plan rather than buying Pass alone.

Pros

  • Free plan includes unlimited logins, notes, and credit cards, not just a capped vault size.
  • Hide-my-email aliasing is built in rather than sold as a separate product.
  • Client apps are open source (GPL-3.0) across desktop, mobile, and browser extensions.
  • 4.9-star rating from 7 Capterra reviews.

Cons

  • Free tier's hide-my-email aliases are capped at 10.
  • Built-in 2FA authenticator and dark web monitoring require the paid Pass Plus tier.
  • Best per-dollar value comes from the pricier Proton Unlimited bundle rather than Pass alone.
