Using Proton Pass

A vault in Proton Pass is an encrypted digital container that contains your items. An item can be a login, an alias, a secured note. Logins include your username, password, the URL of the website the password is for, 2FA codes, and any notes you have saved for that login.

Are my vaults secure?

With Proton Pass, all data in your vaults is securely encrypted using AES-256 symmetric-key encryption. Each vault has its own key, which is used for encrypting its items.

This encryption is end-to-end — it uses a key derived from a password that only you know (Proton Pass uses your Proton Account password) and is performed on your device before being stored on our servers. Your data can only be decrypted by you on your device. Proton never knows your Proton Account password, so we can’t access your Pass data.

For additional security, you should enable two-factor authentication on your Proton Account
