Proton Pass

Yes — Proton Pass comes from Proton AG in Geneva, the company behind Proton Mail, operating under strict Swiss privacy law and overseen by a non-profit foundation. Your vault is end-to-end encrypted, the apps are open source, and they've been independently audited (by Cure53). Crucially, Proton's business model is paid subscriptions, not selling data — so privacy is the product.

Yes — Proton Pass Free includes unlimited passwords across unlimited devices, a rarity matched only by Bitwarden, plus a handful of hide-my-email aliases. It's genuinely usable for the long term, not a time-limited teaser. If you want more, the paid Plus plan starts at US$1.99/mo and adds unlimited email aliases, 2FA storage and vault sharing — but many people never need to leave the free tier.

Proton Pass Plus starts at US$1.99/mo on the longer plans — among the cheapest paid tiers in this comparison — renewing at US$2.99/mo once the intro term ends. There's also a genuinely usable free tier if you don't need the extras. And if you use Proton's other services, Plus is included in the Proton Unlimited bundle alongside Mail, VPN and Drive, which is the better-value route for anyone already in the ecosystem.

No — Proton Pass has no known breach, and neither has Proton AG's wider platform across the decade-plus it has run Proton Mail. Vaults are end-to-end encrypted on your own device, so Proton's servers only ever hold ciphertext — a breach would expose encrypted data, not readable passwords.

It's the youngest product here, launched in 2023, and it shows in a few places: form-filling is more basic than RoboForm's, there's no 1Password-style device-bound Secret Key, and the business tooling is thinner than Keeper's. The counterweights are strong, though — a genuinely generous free tier, open-source apps, independent audits and Swiss privacy law behind it. For most personal users the trade-offs are easy to accept.

For anything beyond the basics, yes. Proton Pass works across every browser and app rather than just Chrome, uses zero-knowledge encryption Google can't read, and adds email aliases and passkey support — all while sitting outside the ad-tech ecosystem, and it's still free. If your entire digital life lives in Chrome, Google's built-in tool is enough; otherwise Proton Pass is the clear upgrade, privacy included.
