Proton has launched its new Pass Family plan, offering comprehensive password management and digital identity protection for up to six members under one subscription. For a limited time, the plan is priced at $3.99 per month and provides secure vaults for each user and shared vaults for common accounts.
After October 23, the prices will revert to $4.99 per month. For users who secured the $1 month lifetime deal, Proton offers a special rate of $2.99 per month as a reward.
Proton’s Pass Family plan goes beyond simple password storage, offering features to protect the digital identities of all users. Each family member benefits from their unique email addresses, reducing the risk of cross-service data breaches and identity theft.
Proton Pass also incorporates built-in two-factor authentication (2FA) and secure sharing options, protecting sensitive information.
The plan offers a notable security feature called Pass Monitor. This tool performs ongoing dark web scans to detect any leaked personal information. The system promptly sends an alert if a family member’s data or email has been exposed. This quick notification enables users to protect themselves from potential identity theft immediately.
Another useful aspect of the service is its password evaluation function. This helps users create and maintain strong, unique passwords for their various online accounts.
Proton’s Product Lead, Son Nguyen Kim, emphasised the importance of secure password management in today’s interconnected world. In a statement given to Candid.Technology, Kim stated that “Password sharing among family members is common, but it also exposes them to significant cybersecurity risks. The Pass Family plan offers a safer, more organised way for families to manage their online identities, combining Proton’s high standard of privacy and security with user-friendly features that everyone can use.”
