Using Proton Pass

With secure link sharing, you can share Proton Pass items (including individual logins, credit card details, and notes) with anyone, even if they don’t use Proton Pass.

Secure link sharing is available to everyone with a paid Proton Pass plan and is different from our vault-sharing feature (which is available to everyone, including those on our Free plan, but only allows you to share your vault with other Proton Pass accounts).

Secure links are end-to-end encrypted on your device, so that no one except you and your intended recipient(s) can access their contents. This includes Proton. If you update a shared item, the people you’ve shared the item with will see the most recent version.
