Proton Pass, Proton’s encrypted password manager, has received a significant update . This comes in the form of a new set of tools called Pass Monitor that will alert users to account vulnerabilities and data breaches.
This is done automatically and the system will even show solutions to users in case of data leakage from third-party services, . It also scans the dark web and alerts people if Proton addresses, email aliases, and even private email addresses are leaked and used for nefarious purposes. If this happens, you will receive an alert to take action.
Pass Monitor includes a password health feature that flags any weak or reused passwords that could use an update. The passive two-factor authentication part of the toolkit is an extra layer of security that identifies different accounts that offer the option for 2FA.
Finally, the company brings its product Enter Pass Monitor. The service uses a combination of artificial intelligence and human analytics to detect and block account hijacking attacks.
Password health and 2FA checks are available to free users, but dark web and Proton Sentinel monitoring are only available to paid members. Fortunately, Pass Plus memberships are available now . Available on Windows, Android, and iOS, these new tools will be available to current users in the “next few days.”
Proton is actually a fairly new entrant in the password security game as a password manager . The company is more famous for its best VPN software .
