Security & ComplianceProton Pass
An open source password manager built with the same encryption as Proton Mail.
Proton Pass is an end-to-end encrypted password manager developed by Proton AG, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail and Proton Drive. It is designed for individuals and teams that need a trustworthy credential store without compromising privacy, and it is particularly well suited to software teams that share access to services, APIs, and infrastructure credentials. The fundamental problem with most password managers is that they operate as a black box: users trust the provider's encryption claims without independent verification. Proton Pass is fully open source, has been audited by independent security firms, and stores not just passwords but also usernames and URLs in encrypted form, unlike some competitors that only encrypt the password field. The Professional plan adds team vaults, centralized access control, and the ability to provision credentials across an organization.
Engineering teams, DevOps practitioners, and security-conscious operators at companies of any size that need to manage shared credentials safely without relying on a spreadsheet or a Slack message. The signal to adopt Proton Pass is when your team realizes credentials are being shared informally, or when you want a password manager with independently verifiable privacy rather than just a vendor's word.

End-to-End Encrypted Vaults
All credentials, notes, and metadata are encrypted on the client before being sent to Proton's servers. Even Proton cannot read vault contents, which is verified through open-source code and third-party audits.
Shared Team Vaults
Teams can create shared vaults for staging credentials, API keys, or shared service logins, with access controlled at the vault level. Members can be added or removed without having to rotate the underlying credentials.
Built-in Alias Email Generation
Proton Pass includes hide-my-email alias functionality that generates disposable email addresses for sign-ups. This reduces your team's exposure to data breaches at third-party services by keeping real email addresses out of vendor databases.
2FA Code Storage and Autofill
Time-based one-time passwords can be stored directly in Proton Pass alongside the corresponding login, and autofilled in the browser. This consolidates credential and 2FA management into one tool rather than requiring a separate authenticator app.
Open Source and Audited
All Proton Pass clients are open source, meaning any engineer can inspect the encryption implementation. Independent security audits provide documented verification that the implementation matches the stated privacy model.
Proton Pass integrates with the broader Proton suite (Mail, Drive, VPN) and offers browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari, as well as mobile apps for iOS and Android. In a typical security stack it replaces or supplements tools like 1Password or Bitwarden for teams that specifically require Swiss jurisdiction and open source verification.
Commonuse cases.
Securely sharing service credentials across an engineering team
Shared vaults let teams store credentials for staging environments, third-party APIs, and internal tools in one encrypted location accessible to the right people. When someone leaves the team, vault access is revoked without requiring credential rotation across every service.
Reducing phishing exposure through alias email addresses
Developers and operators who sign up for many vendor trials and SaaS tools can use Proton Pass aliases so their real email never enters a vendor's database. If an alias receives spam or is compromised in a breach, it can be deactivated instantly without affecting the real inbox.
Onboarding new hires with controlled credential access
New team members can be added to specific vaults that cover only the services they need, rather than being handed a master password or a shared spreadsheet. This gives administrators fine-grained visibility into who has access to what, from day one.
