New Update Proton Pass is now available (Features, Security model and Plans)

Proton Pass now supports passkeys on all devices and plans​

We’re excited to announce that Proton Pass supports passkeys for everyone, allowing you to manage and use passkeys across all devices seamlessly. Passkeys are an easy and secure alternative to traditional passwords that can help prevent phishing attacks and make your online experience smoother and safer.

Unfortunately, Big Tech’s rollout of this technology prioritized using passkeys to lock people into their walled gardens over providing universal security for everyone. And many password managers only support passkeys on specific platforms or provide them with paid plans, meaning you only get to reap passkeys’ security benefits if you can afford them.

We’ve reimagined passkeys, helping them reach their full potential as free, universal, and open-source tech. We believe online privacy and security should be accessible to everyone, regardless of what device you use or your ability to pay. That’s why passkey support is now available to the entire Proton Pass community.

Proton Pass introduces enhanced identity protection with Pass Monitor​

Data breaches are increasingly common. Whenever you sign up for an online service, you provide it with personal information that’s valuable to hackers, such as email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, and more. Unfortunately, many online services fail to adequately secure this information. The number of breaches spiked by 78%, from 1,802 in 2022 to 3,205 in 2023(new window), affecting more than 353 million people.

To keep you safe, we’re introducing Pass Monitor for our password manager, a new suite of security features to help you secure your data. Pass Monitor alerts you of account weaknesses and data breaches so you can better defend your online accounts against attacks. We believe security should be easy, so Pass Monitor watches out for you automatically and guides you through solutions in the event your data leaks from a third-party service.

Pass Monitor includes four layers of security:

• Dark Web Monitoring: We scan illicit data marketplaces on the dark web to check if your Proton addresses, email aliases, and up to 10 custom email addresses have been leaked. If we find anything, we alert you immediately so you can take quick action to secure your accounts.
• Password Health: This is like a checkup for your account security. We’ll let you know if you have any weak or reused passwords that need to be updated.
• Inactive two-factor authentication: 2FA is a second layer of security in addition to a password that greatly reduces the risk of hackers breaking into your accounts. Pass will identify accounts where you can enable 2FA.
• Proton Sentinel: Released last year, our Proton Sentinel program uses AI and human analysts to detect and block account takeover attacks. We’re rolling this feature into Pass Monitor.

Password Health and 2FA checks are included in Proton Pass Free plans. You can get Dark Web Monitoring, Proton Sentinel, and other advanced security features with our Pass Plus plan. Pass Monitor will be available to everyone on all devices over the next few days.
