Using Proton Pass

Proton Pass is an end-to-end encrypted open-source(yeni pencere) password manager that lets you protect your online identity. It’s part of the Proton privacy suite that includes Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Proton Drive, and Proton Calendar. In this guide, we explain how to use Proton Pass on your Android device.

This guide was created using a Samsung One UI device. Details for using Proton Pass on Android may vary, depending on which version of Android you are running. 

How to set up Proton Pass for Android

Before using Proton Pass on Android, you’ll need to set it up:

1. Sign up for Proton Pass. You can sign up for a standalone Proton Pass Free or Pass Plus plan or get all the premium features of Pass — and every other Proton service — with our Proton Unlimited plan.

2. Download(yeni pencere) and install the Android app.

3 (optional). Import your data from your previous password manager. If you’ve used a password manager before, you’ll probably want to import your saved passwords to Proton Pass. To do this, you’ll need to use our browser extension.
