Proton Pass

Our take
The pitch that lands is integration: if you already use Proton Mail or VPN, Pass slots in cleanly, and the built-in SimpleLogin aliasing lets you create a throwaway address per signup without leaving the app. The code is open and independently audited, so the privacy claims are not just marketing. The catch is that the best of it assumes you are buying into Proton broadly, and the free tier is tighter on aliases and vaults than the paid plan. Worth it if you want one trusted company for mail, VPN, and passwords; less so if you would rather not put everything under one roof.
