After rolling out its password manager to a limited number of users in April, Proton has finally released the service to the general public. The tool, called Proton Pass, uses end-to-end encryption to keep your usernames and passwords away from third parties, including Proton itself. It also lets you create and store randomly generated email aliases that you can use in place of your real address.

Security wise, there´s probably no reason to consider leaving Bitwarden. Feature wise, bitwarden already has almost all bases covered when it comes to being a password manager. UI is where it would probably be easiest to get ahead. Pricing on the other hand seems a bit expensive on Protons side. The have the "limited offer" now for 1€ a month, which is already 2€ more per year than Bitwarden, but they write that the regular price would be 4,99 a month, which would be beyond rough compared to BW.

I'd assume there's a price tier that includes their other premium services though I think? So you'd also get multiple email addresses with them, 500gb cloud storage, and their VPN's premium features. Not everyone will want all that but if you do it seems like a good deal as a bundle.

Yeah that is the Proton Unlimited plan.

For extra 2€ a year you get to keep your passwords overseas…..might be something worth considering.

What does "keep your passwords overseas" mean?
