Proton Pass Review 2026: Expert Rated 4.7/5

Overall: (5)

I was most impressed by Proton Pass’s free plan, which provides the most essential password management features (strong encryption, autofill capability, unlimited logins, etc.) as well as some nice extras like password health checks and email masking. This plan includes a solid amount of storage (1 GB), too. Many providers don’t offer any free plans at all, and even when they do, they tend to be much more stripped-down than this.

Of course, the free plan is missing a couple key features, such as password sharing and 2FA. For stronger security measures, more storage, and more advanced features, you’ll need to upgrade to one of Proton Pass’s premium plans.

The premium plans offer both yearly and monthly subscription options. You’ll save money in the long run with the yearly option, though that will require you to pay more upfront. For example, while the monthly price for the Pass Plus plan is $4.99, the yearly price is $35.88 (that’s an average of $2.99 per month).

I really like the look of Proton Pass’s app. It’s streamlined and easy to navigate, and the design features pops of colors that make it quite aesthetically pleasing as well.

It only takes a couple minutes to create an account — and once you log in, you’ll see all of the main features laid out in front of you, giving you options for adding a new login, hide-my-email alias, credit card, etc.

When using the Android app, I did have some trouble with the autofill feature. Even after I made sure to enable this option in the app settings, it just didn’t work consistently.

However, once I installed the Proton Pass extension on my browser, the autofill feature started working flawlessly, so it did make up some points for that.

If you’d like to better protect your Proton Pass account by enabling two-factor authentication, you’ll find that it is very easy to do so.

First, you’ll need to pair your Proton Pass account with an authenticator app. While there are third-party options available, this provider does offer their own app for this purpose, Proton Authenticator.

If you’re happy with using the authenticator app, that’s the end of the process — to log in to your account, you would now need to verify your identity through your mobile phone in addition to entering your password.

Once 2FA has been set up with the authenticator app, you’ll also have the option of verifying your identity through a security key. This could be a physical key that plugs into your device’s USB port or a non-physical key like Apple’s Touch ID or Face ID.

Proton Pass is constantly being improved, with new features released every single year. Some of the latest developments include:
