Swiss brand Proton is well known as a privacy-centric, secure provider of email and cloud storage services likeProton Driveand ProtonMail. In the wake of recent breaches thatdamned LastPass as we know it, Proton saw an opportunity to scoop up the users jumping ship.Beta testing for Proton Passbegan in April this year, and now, the service is officially available across platforms. Here’s a quick look at everything on offer.

Proton Pass offers all the amenities a modern password manager should, like support for creating, storing, and updating your passwords, notes, and other credentials. It is available on multiple operating systems like iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows, complete with support for password autofill on most popular web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave Browser, and more.

Everything, including your notes and the metadata flying across the internet, is end-to-end encrypted. Proton Pass’s security measures have been audited by a third party and the company has promised to publish a security report soon, but if you aren’t convinced, Proton Pass is also open source, so you can audit it yourself. However, the most interesting selling point for the service ought to be email masking.

Hide My Email

You can use the email masking feature when prompted to provide your actual email address. The business only sees the proxy email address, while Proton forwards all the communication to your original inbox, albeit without the pesky trackers. This way, you’re protected even if the third party that recorded your email suffers a data breach. Also, Hide My Email works with most major email service providers, and isn’t exclusive to ProtonMail customers.

You can even pay $24 up front for a two-year subscription at $1 per month, and your renewal pricing after the period will still be locked to $1 per month. With attractive pricing like that, and outstanding features to boot, we hope to recommend Proton Pass as one ofour favorite password managerssometime soon. The only demerit that’s immediately apparent is the missingsupport for passkeys, though Proton Pass hasconfirmedthis feature is on the roadmap.
