Proton Pass — Swiss-Encrypted Password Manager
End-to-end encrypted password manager from Proton AG (Swiss jurisdiction), with a usable free tier, email aliases, and 2FA built in. Open source.
4.2 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- Free tier is genuinely usable for one person - unlimited passwords across devices
- Bundles email aliases (hide-my-email style) into the password flow, no SimpleLogin sign-up needed
- Built-in 2FA / TOTP code generator removes the need for a separate authenticator app
Watch outs
- Newer product than Bitwarden or 1Password - UX polish still catching up
- Self-hosting is not supported; you trust Proton's servers (which are at least Swiss-jurisdiction)
- Family plan pricing is competitive but only makes sense if you also use Proton Mail or Drive
£1.99
Typical price - check Proton AG for live pricing.
- Jurisdiction Switzerland
- Free tier Yes - unlimited passwords + devices, 1 email alias, basic 2FA
- Individual plan From £1.99/month (Proton Pass Plus)
- Family plan Bundled with Proton Unlimited (around £8/month for 4 users + full ecosystem)
