from the team:

Hi everyone,

We heard your feedback, and we're happy to announce that you can now secure your Proton Pass with an extra password in addition to your existing Proton account password.

Thank you to our Visionary members who already had a chance to check out this feature!

All Proton Accounts are already secured with strong, robust encryption, but our optional extra password feature allows you to compartmentalize your Proton Pass account. It lets you create an extra password you must enter before you can access your logins and other sensitive information in Pass.

With the extra password enabled, even if an attacker gets a hold of the password to your Proton Account, they cannot access your Pass account unless they also know your extra password. Be sure to store your extra password securely!

This feature is rolling out today for all Lifetime plans, followed by a staged release for Unlimited plans, and available to everyone else over the coming days: https://proton.me/support/pass-extra-password

Let us know what you think! You can also share, vote and discuss ideas on User Voice.

"We've had one, yes. But what about second password?" /meme

I too came to make fun but this actually makes sense. basically a user password and an admin password.

Me, already on two-password mode: nice, a third password

This is super important and tackles a key reason I had refused to use proton pass in the past. Really glad they added this.

I thought proton was already doing this? With the mailbox password and the "two password mode" in the settings in our accounts?
