Proton Pass by Proton
Review by Blum
Rated 4 out of 5
by Blum, 5 months agoAfter a decade of using KeePass and Bitwarden, I switched to Proton Pass six months ago (used on Windows, macOS, Ubuntu and my smartphone). I'm not going back!
What I like:
- In my experience, autofill is much more consistent than other managers (with only a few rare exceptions).
- As a paid user, the "hide-my-email" alias feature is a game-changer, no need for "+ addressing", and the integration with Proton Monitor came handy a few times already.
- The vault is type-rich. I knew the usual (logins, notes, and bank cards, passwords). I though the "Other" category was just for "Misc" entries, but recently discovered it has a lot of dedicated templates (API creds, DB creds, server creds, license keys, SSH keys, Wi-Fi networks, bank account details, crypto wallets, driving licenses, medical info, memberships, passports, loyalty programs, and SSN). It is much more organized than using generic "secure notes" for everything. It feels like an actual wallet.
The only pain point:
- The passkey experience (I'm a big advocate and user of passkeys) but found the implementation to be inconsistent. While the team is helpful, I’ve found that troubleshooting these issues is quite a time-sink for a user. It often requires testing across different browsers, clearing existing keys, and starting with fresh profiles, on various browsers, just to isolate the cause. As much as I want to help improve the tool, the "investigation" process is too tedious so I stopped after a few tickets. I'm hopeful this stabilizes soon so it can be as seamless and great as the rest of the app.
Overall, the extension is great, I definitely recommend it!

- Rated 5 out of 5by TehBrian, 7 hours agoSwitched from Bitwarden to Proton Pass for:
1. Hiding vaults (useful for preventing rarely used accounts from clogging up AutoFill)
2. Email aliasing (and better than 1Password + Fastmail because any email can be aliased, not just my Proton email)
Working well so far! In the future, I'd like to see collections (presets of active vaults), keyboard shortcuts, and more themes. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20128022, 8 hours ago
