Proton Pass

Yes. Proton Pass is a solid, privacy-focused password manager from the makers of Proton Mail. It offers end-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption, a genuinely useful free tier, and standout privacy extras like built-in 2FA codes and hide-my-email aliases that mask your real address. The apps are open-source and independently audited, and it's run by Swiss-based Proton under strong privacy laws. It's newer than 1Password or Bitwarden but has matured quickly, and the paid Plus plan is cheap — around US$1.99/mo to start, renewing near US$2.99/mo. For privacy-minded users especially, it's an easy recommendation.

Very safe. Proton Pass uses end-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption, is open-source and independently audited, and is run by Swiss-based Proton under some of the world's strongest privacy laws. Your vault is encrypted with a key only you hold, so Proton itself can't read your data — even if its servers were compromised, your passwords would stay unreadable.

It depends on what you're optimising for. Proton Pass wins on privacy and price: it's open-source, Swiss-based, has a strong free tier, and its paid plan is cheap at around US$1.99/mo (renewing near US$2.99/mo). 1Password is more mature, with more polished apps, a unique Secret Key and richer family and business features, but it costs more and has no free tier. Choose Proton Pass if privacy, open-source code and value top your list; choose 1Password for the most refined all-round experience and the deepest feature set. Both use zero-knowledge encryption, so neither is a security compromise.

Yes. Proton Pass includes a built-in two-factor authentication (TOTP) generator, so it can store and auto-fill your 2FA codes right alongside the matching passwords. That's convenient — one app fills both your login and its one-time code. The trade-off is that keeping passwords and 2FA in the same vault slightly reduces isolation, so the very security-conscious sometimes prefer a separate authenticator app. For most people, though, having both in Proton Pass is a practical and safe setup, especially as the vault is end-to-end encrypted.

Yes. The Proton Pass Chrome extension is open-source and uses the same end-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption as the desktop and mobile apps, so your logins stay encrypted and only you can unlock them. As with any browser extension, install it only from the official Chrome Web Store to be sure you're getting the genuine version and not a lookalike.

Yes. Proton Pass has a dedicated Windows desktop app, alongside apps for macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, plus browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and others. Your vault syncs securely and end-to-end encrypted across all of them, so your passwords are available wherever you sign in.
