Proton Pass now supports passkeys on all devices and plans | Proton
proton.me
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 (you have to use their platform, which often does not work across all platforms). 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.

They’ve reimagined passkeys, helping them reach their full potential as free, universal, and open-source tech. They have made online privacy and security accessible to everyone, regardless of what device you use or your ability to pay.

I’m still a paying customer of Bitwarden as Proton Pass was up to now still not doing everything, but this may make me re-evaluate using Proton Pass as I’m also a paying customer of Proton Pass. It certainly looks like Proton Pass is advancing at quite a pace, and Proton has already built up a good reputation for private e-mail and an excellent VPN client.

Proton is also the ONLY passkey provider that I’ve seen allowing you to store, share, and export passkeys just like you can with passwords!

    And yet I missed their announcement about their passkeys. In today’s competitive world, I think any company that does not advertise in some way, is really not going to survive (as much as I don’t like ads either). Maybe I don’t see that much as I am paying.

      I was getting these advertisements, even as a paid user, just before Christmas. Multiple other people have complained about it both here and on Reddit too. It seems to have gotten better now, but I know a few people have been quite turned off by this.

        You can disable it from proton mail settings

          Are you talking about the emails?

                Oh yeah the UI stuff was a bug, they’ve fixed it already

                  I was referring to pop-ups about family plans and black Friday sale button actually. Wasn’t possible to remove these, and I was already a paying member… I have however not seen these in a while, so maybe they took a hint after getting some backlash.

                    I believe that the pop-up was also bugged and that it was only supposed to show up once.

                    The family deal and the black friday deal popups were all easy to disable

      Do you have emails from them disabled? I got an email about the launch, but yeah, I haven’t seen much mention of it elsewhere.

        No just have “Proton for Business newsletter” disabled but I see many of their mails say only once a quarter etc. So seems they don’t send out every month.

      This is simply not true. If your products are good your customers will do the marketing for you.

        True, and the reverse is also true when a product is bad. I blog usually about what I’m interested in testing out, and when I see if may be worth me moving to a different service.
