Using Proton Pass

The password history feature in Proton Pass lets you see any recently generated passwords you may have created for an account.

You can access the password history of a specific login by navigating to that account in Pass, or you can go through the main menu to view recent passwords for all logins. We’ll show you both options.

Password history is available in the Proton Pass browser extension.

Viewing password history through a single login

To access this feature, first open the browser extension by clicking on the Proton icon at the top right of your browser.
