Command-line interface (CLI)

Ideal for headless servers and CI/CD pipelines, the CLI eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting and hardcoded credentials, ensuring your automation remains fast, efficient, and end-to-end encrypted.

Personal access tokens (PATs)

Grant precise, revocable access for scripts and integrations using customizable access tokens instead of your master password. PATs can be limited to specific items and vaults and revoked at any time, so your automation stays functional without putting your credentials at risk.

AI agent access tokens

Give AI agents access only to the credentials they need — and nothing more. Proton Pass agent tokens let you scope access to specific vaults, set expiration windows, and review a full audit log of every access request with the reason your agent provided. You get the efficiency of autonomous AI workflows without giving up visibility or control.
