Proton Pass, the new password manager with end-to-end encryption

Proton Pass

Proton Pass is built by the same team of scientists who met at CERN and created Proton Mail.

Few days ago Proton, the company behind the popular products "Proton Mail and Proton VPN", unveiled through a announce the launch of your new password manager, "Proton Pass".

Proton Pass is currently in beta status and is only available to Lifetime and Visionary members of the Proton ecosystem. The new password manager offers end-to-end encryption and the same degree of protection not only for passwords, but also for other personal data: usernames, notes, web addresses and more.

The developer ensures that all cryptographic operations, including key generation and data encryption, are performed locally, on the user's device, with no possibility of access to them by the developer.

The company said that developing a password manager has been one of the most frequent requests from the Proton community since the launch of Proton Mail. However, Proton Pass is not just a standard password manager. The company claims that it will be much more than that.

Proton is pleased to announce another important milestone in the growth of the Proton ecosystem with the launch of the beta version of Proton Pass for lifetime users and visionaries. Invitations will be sent out over the next week and you will receive an email from us at your Proton Mail email address when you are eligible.

A password manager has been one of the most popular requests from the Proton community since the launch of Proton Mail. However, while Proton Pass uses end-to-end encryption to protect your login credentials, it will be much more than just a password manager. standard password manager. This will become clearer in the coming weeks and months as we prepare Proton Pass for a public release later this year.

Proton Pass uses end-to-end encryption for all fields, including username and web address. This is a crucial feature because even the smallest bits of information can be used to create a highly detailed profile of a person.

The development of Proton Pass was in charge of the SimpleLogin team, which joined forces with Proton in 2022 to offer Proton users advanced aliases to hide their email address.

In 2022, Proton joined forces with SimpleLogin to offer millions of Proton users advanced "email address cloaking aliases." Making logins more secure, private, and easy was at the heart of SimpleLogin's original vision. In fact, Son Nguyen Kim, the founder of SimpleLogin, chose the name SimpleLogin for precisely this reason.

The merger brought together two organizations with the same interest in solving this problem. That's why the SimpleLogin team, along with some Proton engineers, led the work on Proton Pass.

Proton Pass beta is available on iPhone/iPad, Android, and desktop. Browser extensions are available for Brave and Chrome, with Firefox coming soon. The end-to-end encryption used in Proton Pass ensures that users' data is protected even if the device is lost or stolen.

Proton Pass is the latest addition to the privacy-focused suite of products as the company's mission is to provide users with secure and private communication tools that protect their personal data from prying eyes. With the launch of Proton Pass, Proton takes another step towards achieving this goal.

It is worth mentioning that Proton plans to open source code of the new password manager once it is available to the general public. While Proton Pass might end up being one of the best password managers available, its beta status will set it back for now. Also, because only Proton Mail users will have access for now, only those truly committed to online security will benefit for a while.
