Thoughts on Proton's New Password Manager! (I'm Mixed...)

Proton Pass is finally available to the public - Proton's new password manager. How does it compare to Bitwarden, KeePass, 1Password, and other established password managers in the space? Today I share my review of Proton Pass!

I don’t mind half baked stuff so long as they release upgrades consistently or provide a road map. This way I can learn the new features with everyone else. But as of now I like keeping my stuff separate I just wished they gave us the family plans on separate plans like the email rather than only the ultimate. Cuz I use Synology drive, IVPN and 1 pass and I like how they work and haven’t been convinced by anything else yet.

Even after short 2 months, there are a lot of progress made, need a follow up video

I agree that Pass is still trying to find its edge on the market, and they have to do it fast or lose relevance.

Interestingly, Pass was announced around the same time that passkey was being rolled out by multiple platforms (i.e. Google, 1Password). I think Proton got caught off-guard by the market shift, but this is a great opportunity for them to enter the passkey space and carve out an edge ASAP.

This is a really interesting product. I am glad Proton is slowly starting to integrate their suite to the product line. I will be interested to see how this--and the Proton suite in general--will evolve within the next 1-2 years.


Also, I love the transparency you have with the community on here. Thank you for that!

Keep up the great work!

The email alias integration reminds me to the iCloud+ Hide my Email feature, that integrates in the same way that the Proton Pass does, but the difference is that iCloud integration only works on Apple Devices.

Henry, as usual great video. I have 1Password but I also have Proton Unlimited but I am not sure about Proton Pass. 1Password is so far ahead of the game and something I use a lot is the option to add a file (like a document) to a vault and there is no option for that in Proton Pass Also, with Proton, it take years to get anything done. I am even thinking of leaving them all together but i like the fact that they are open source and have end to end encryption. If i get a paid email service, VPN, Cloud storage separately, its about the same price as Proton Unlimited

I am a paid subscriber of Proton and even if Pass was better than competition I would not use it.

Why: If for any reason I lost access to my Proton account I would lose my passwords, my main email account, my main calendar app and my backup cloud storage.
I don't want to put all my eggs in the same basket. It's not worth it just to save a couple of bucks a month. But that's just my opinion

[Lennard]

I don't think anything can beat Bitwarden. For 10 dollars a year you get more than you need

[mrtony]

I use and like Bitwarden, but its auto fill isn't smooth on android. So, if proton is better in this regard I can take a look at it.

[eeesti]

1 EUR even if only for the aliases, with an email not using Amazon SES, is currently a compelling offering.
I plan on using this in tandem and in near duplication of my bitwarden vault.

Proton Pass is great. Its simple, clean, works. I'm enjoying watching their product suite and brand grow - it's perfect for capturing de-googlers, like my boomer self, and theres plenty of us

[iamakash_]

Proton Suite is great. Seriously, Proton should make a desktop, Mac, iOS, Android, and Debian version of their app because web apps and extentions are a huge setback for productivity.

[brads]

Pretty much only complaint so far is no credit card entries. Otherwise I feel it's similar to bitwarden. The reason I'm using it is that I already have a full Proton subscription. I also like the email alias feature

[Extravi]

i like proton pass because i can keep all my 2fa codes in the cloud and i dont have to worry about lossing it

[anshulgoyal]

This video really helped to know that we have new password manager in the house which is good and FREE!! Thanks for making and posting this video.

[ransan]

I'm tempted for the very simple reason that the mobile app is written in Kotlin instead of Xamarin.
The extra seconds it takes for Bitwarden mobile to load actually bugs me.

[lqnslzw]

love the video but has to say he criticised proton pass and said he uses something else in sponsored video and proton even aproved it. The reason why I trust proton ❤

[TylerAlderson]

Is there gonna be a new updated review of ProtonPass?

[mattydee]

I might pass on this, pun intended. Although I do use their other services, I see no reason to ditch Bitwarden.
