Proton Pass

Proton Pass is a Swiss-based open-source password manager developed by the scientists who created Proton Mail. Launched to complete the Proton privacy ecosystem, it offers a high-security alternative to US-based password managers. Because it is based in Switzerland, user data is protected by some of the world's strictest privacy laws, outside of US and EU jurisdiction (though GDPR compliant). Beyond standard password storage, Proton Pass distinguishes itself with its integrated identity protection. It allows users to generate unique "hide-my-email" aliases for every login. This means when you sign up for a new service, you don't have to reveal your real email address, significantly reducing the risk of phishing and spam. The tool uses end-to-end encryption not just for the password field, but for all metadata, including URLs and notes. The application is available across all major platforms and browsers. It follows a freemium model, where the free version is robust and usable, while the paid version unlocks advanced features like integrated 2FA authenticators and unlimited email aliases.
