All the aesthetics and side features are not important, in exchange for the fact that it is encrypted and open source. This is wonderful and very powerful, especially since it provides free cloud storage for an unlimited number of passwords. Hats off to them.
Thanks for the video. As a long time Proton user, I haven’t used the Proton password manager yet, as I also pay for Bitwarden, which seems more advanced than this. For $10/year saving, I’m not sure it’s worth the risk of all eggs in one basket! I may export from Bitwarden and try it out.
I've been a user of Proton products for a long time. Since beta! But, there's one thing that always freaks me out, and it's the topic of my 3rd ever UA-cam video. It's about the CIA and German intelligence OWNING a Swiss encryption company (ua-cam.com/video/Q0jvOR0NQ8A/v-deo.html) - really makes me wonder about who really owns what these days.
Jason, some food for thought, perhaps next time, when reviewing security-like products MENTION |MAKE USE OF CVE / OWASP / CISA / SOLARWINDS / MITRE ATT&CK People like you have a channel, I don't, I deal with cyber threats.
i like it, but you are dependent on proton once you use all the aliases. You can't switch or downgrade your account, because you only get 10 free aliases, if i understood that correctly.
So far I haven't been able to set it up at all. It is amazing the clutter these tech companies fail to cover the most basic functions at all, like setting up the password manager to work at all.
I installed Proton Pass but I encountered a problem when it came to creating a secret code, which I found very confusing. Therefore, I decided to uninstall it.
Thanks for your Video. I just want to use Proton Pass on my Android Device (without a Computer). In the Proton Pass App there is no option to import my Passwords from Google PW Manager? 🤷🏻♂️
I am trialling Proton Pass paid version for 7 days. I chose it because I already had Proton Mail. I appreciated your video. I’m not impressed with the product so far. I want to be able to quickly update all my passwords, using the password generator. However it doesn’t seem to remember the password it generates. Went back to password history and there was nothing there. Super frustrating, but maybe it’s me? A tutorial on this would be helpful, or could you recommend another channel?
Thanks, Jason. That's the video I watched, but it didn't answer all my questions. I'll take this up with Proton, as I think they should be providing better user documentation and tutorial videos. @@teachmecyber
Yes I just got the paid version 2 days ago and went to each website that I must change email and used alias for all. I was shocked at how easy it was .
It's good for personal use but not for a social media manager. For social media teams where multiple people need access to passwords and MFA, you are better off using something like 1Password with a shared vault or a solution like www.cerby.com/
I don't know of any exchanges that will circumvent KYC laws. That ties your wallets to your cc/dc and all your personal info. It's why monero is not on most exchanges, and even the ones it is on, they still comply, so it kinda defeats the purpose. @@teachmecyber

What about using Chrome password manager for convenience and site/app individual passwords + app/key authenticator for safety? Isnt that alternative safe enough? The convenience of P.W. in Chrome is so - well, convenient.
I know you might not be interested in other's feedback, but It's bloody horrible/useless. I signed up in May this year and paid for 2 years, but gave up on it after 2 months. Before that I was using Lastpass but I gave up on that because of the security breaches. Nordpass refused to sign me into many of the sites that it had stored, preferring to suggest a new password, so I had to search for the stored password and copy & paste. Such a waste of time.
Andy Yen is a money hungry bozo. You will get spammed with stupid discount ads even if you're a member. Proton how about you stop spamming your members within the app with silly discount ads. Good products don't need to be spammed they grow by word of mouth and we have had enough....
There is no perfect password manager. I do a combo between more than one PM, instead. Yes, that is more attack vectors, but it's also three distinctly different master passwords, plus 2FA for each. Bottom line -- it works for me.
does Proton Pass have a number of different 'Password Categories & Sub Categories' ? (i.e. I want to 'file' my passwords into different buckets ... for instance - Financial - Bank Account, Financial - Cards, or Crypto - Exchanges, Crypto - Wallets) etc etc
Proton Pass has something similar called vaults where you can organize your passwords into those vaults I.e. work passwords, personal passwords etc. The free version has 2 vaults while the paid versions have 20 vaults
@@j.jsamra ok noted, but these vaults would not have the level of detail that say 1Pass has i.e. if you crank up a new SW card it has relevant fields related to capturing details of software etc etc
While i think this is good, and i do trust proton, you'll still never beat the privacy of a selfhosted app. Having any kind of centralization is bad especially for a password manager, and i would never consider putting something so valuable into something i don't control.
Meh, the synchronization is too useful to go offline, and if I go online, I would trust Proton way more than myself to create a secure system, even if of course Proton is more likely to get attacked than me. It's obviously a trade-off between risk and convenience and currently the risk is so low with a properly used cloud password manager than I don't see the point of a self hosted PM except for knowledge and entertainment purpose

People like you have a channel, I don't, I deal with cyber threats.
Their plans have changed A LOT in 11 months, now they really limit what you get by plan and the cost has gone up quite a bit.
i like it, but you are dependent on proton once you use all the aliases. You can't switch or downgrade your account, because you only get 10 free aliases, if i understood that correctly.
Finally got round to giving this a go, so far so good.
Unless the hackers get into your password manager, then they have it all.
Pixel 8 is secure isn't it? Google has their own VPN.. Can you please make a different video on Google

"How they approach keeping your passwords safe"? They don't. There is no offline storage option.
Too bad. I really need a good password manager.
If an offline password manager is your requirement, check out Bitwarden (also has an online version) or KeePass.

I have been using proton mail for years. I am looking for a new password manager since last pass is no longer secure.
Check out 1Password and Bitwarden. I have a few videos on them.
Wait... If you already have Proton Pass why did you also have LastPass? & why are you looking for an alternate password manager now?

I'm confused right now too.
Do you think it can help with current account security, iow, updating/changing passwords and/or email addresses for aliases?

Bitcoin is the opposite of private.
From a ledger standpoint, yes. But from masking who made the transaction, you can hide behind certain exchanges

Less about the KYC laws and more about those that won't work with law enforcement (e.g. exchanges in Russia).

Not sure if it's mentioned in the comments, however they do now have a desktop version, at least for windows.
Thanks for the flag!
I was looking for that windows version. Where is it?
Only the mobie app dont work at all
Proton Pass is still early days. I personally didn't see enough value to switch to it, though I do love that identity alias feature!
11:00 I can see your email address
Have you try Nordpass? what's your opinion?
It's next up on my list for a deep dive!

There are many who share that sentiment. A self hosted option is great in that instance. Bitwarden is a great choice for that!

Self-hosted is a TERRIBLE idea for 99.9% of people.
Why is that?
I use local stored pw manager, and export passwords as 1 file to my end to end encrypted storage solution. Works great for me.
I tried Proton Pass for about a minute. The dark theme BS is a permanent thing. I'll pass.
Heh they're definitely going for a look with it.
Not sure what you mean mean. I have Proton Pass Plus and via settings I have white themed on the app.
Good to know, thanks!
LOL
The white theme is free in settings lol
Thanks been looking for some videos on setup.... theres none out there
