Why it's listed
From proton.me, not a random Chrome extension with five stars and malware.
Proton Pass stores logins, hides email with aliases, and shares vaults on free and paid tiers from the same Swiss privacy vendor as Proton Mail. A credible alternative to subscription password managers without ad-tech business models.
The catch
Fewer niche features than 1Password; free tier limits shared vaults.
Good fit for
- Existing Proton Mail users
- Privacy-first families
Not ideal for
- Teams needing advanced breach reporting
