Proton Pass for Business homepage

The password manager where only your team holds the keys

Proton Pass zero-access security architecture makes your credentials mathematically inaccessible to anyone — a claim independently verified by external auditors. Your passwords can’t be obtained in any circumstance, not even under legal compulsion.

Trusted by over 100,000 businesses and 100 million people worldwide

Enterprise password management from the same team that built Proton Mail — the world’s largest end-to-end encrypted email service. Proton Pass protects the credentials of organizations in healthcare, finance, legal, and government.

Security architecture

Centralising credentials doesn’t create a single point of failure. It eliminates dozens of them.

Unlike conventional password managers, which encrypt your data but retain the ability to decrypt it, Proton has no mechanism to access your vault.

Proton Pass is built on zero-access architecture so your credentials are encrypted on your device before they ever reach our servers. 

We don’t hold keys,  store plaintext, and have the ability to see your data — not even under legal pressure. In the unlikely event that an attacker accesses Proton’s servers, they’d only find ciphertext they can’t decrypt.

Built to secure your data at every layer

Data is encrypted before it leaves your device

Every item is encrypted on your device using 256-bit AES-GCM before it reaches Proton’s servers. The encryption key never leaves your device. Proton does not hold it, cannot retrieve it, and has no mechanism to decrypt your vault — even under legal compulsion.

Data is encrypted at rest and in transit

Vault sharing uses OpenPGP with ECC (Curve25519) — an open standard audited and battle-tested for over 25 years. Each vault entry is encrypted independently. There is no single master key that unlocks everything.

Password management features for Business

Enterprise password management from the same team that built Proton Mail — the world’s largest end-to-end encrypted email service. Proton Pass protects the credentials of organizations in healthcare, finance, legal, and government.

Multi-factor authentication

Every Proton Pass account supports TOTP authenticators, FIDO2 hardware security keys, passkeys, biometric unlock (fingerprint and Face ID), PIN code, and Extra Password — an additional vault password on top of the Proton account login.

Admin-enforced 2FA policy

2FA enforcement is set at the organisation level by the admin. Once enabled, it applies consistently across every account — no individual opt-outs, no deferrals that quietly become permanent, and no exceptions that introduce gaps in your security posture.

Proton Sentinel

Proton Sentinel protects against account takeover across 100+ million accounts using AI-powered threat detection, supported by 24/7 human analyst review. Suspicious login attempts are flagged and blocked — not just rate-limited.

Third-party audits and certifications

Independently verified by external security auditors
