How to set up Proton Pass on Android
1. Download and install Proton Pass for Android(новое окно)
2. Sign in
If you use any Proton service, including Proton Mail, Proton Drive, Proton Calendar, or Proton Pass, or if you already have a Proton VPN account, you can sign in using your Proton Account username and password.
Open the app and tap Create an account if you don’t already have a Proton Account. Once you’ve created an account, you can Sign in. If you already have a Proton Account, just Sign in using your Proton Account username and password.
2. Enable autofill
The easiest way to use Proton Pass is to allow it to fill in your login details (your username and password) for you, which requires setting Proton Pass as the default password manager in Android’s autofill settings. To do this, tap Autofill with Proton Pass.
This opens the Android Autofill service page. Select Proton Pass from the list and tap + Add service (followed by OK at the confirmation alert).
If you prefer not to set Proton Pass as your default autofill app at this time, you’ll need to manually copy and paste your login details from Proton Pass to apps and web pages.

To enable Proton Pass at a future point, open the app and go to Profile → Autofill and toggle the switch on.
3. Enable fingerprint unlock
If your device supports it, fingerprint unlock provides a quick and convenient way to access your logins. To enable it, simply tap the Enable fingerprint unlock button and confirm your fingerprint when prompted.
To enable fingerprint unlock at a future point, open the app and go to Profile → Fingerprint and toggle the switch on.
How to import from other password managers
If you’ve used a password manager before, you’ll probably want to import your saved passwords to Proton Pass.
Proton Pass makes it easy to migrate from other popular password managers, with built-in support for importing passwords and other data from many popular password managers and browsers. To do this, you’ll need to use our browser extension.
