from the team:

Hi everyone,

We’re happy to announce that the 2nd highest-voted feature request is rolling out this week — Proton Pass Monitor.

Proton Pass Monitor keeps your data safe with dark web monitoring, checking for weak and reused passwords, scanning for accounts with inactive 2FA, and providing easy access to Proton Sentinel.

You can also check out the following support articles:

https://proton.me/support/what-is-pass-monitor https://proton.me/support/how-to-use-pass-monitor

Let us know what you think! As always, we appreciate your support and feedback.

— Proton Team

P.S. We also want to give a huge shoutout to u/Alfondorion who (along with many others) suggested the name.

It may take a little time for Proton Pass Monitor to become available on all platforms, thanks for your patience!

How does Proton decide if a password is weak or not? About half (361 of 678) are considered weak, and I used either Bitwarden or Proton Pass itself to generate a random one. A bunch of the ones I've spot checked have upper, lower, numbers, and symbols and they're still getting flagged as weak. I wish there were a more granular scale because I'd be happy to change the passwords that are truly weak but I'm not going to change hundreds of passwords to a different random string.

Proton defines Strong as at least 75 bits of entropy and over 100 bits is recommended. May have soemthing to do with that

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They should either have more tiers or let you sort by entropy so I can focus on changing the least secure ones first

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

The tiers are vulnerable, weak and strong. Change the vulnerable ones first then the weak passwords

I guess the 1st highest-voted feature request is a Linux client for Proton Drive?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Pretty sure a Linux client for proton drive isn't on the protonpass roadmap :)

Edit: sorry that seems to come off quite bitter/sarcastic. It was meant as a lighthearted joke. I assumed its the second most requested feature on protonpass rather than proton in general. But I could be wrong.

This is awesome! I have access to it now and the "reused passwords" feature is helping me find duplicates. For example, some login credentials are for a website, some are for the same app as the website but they appear in Pass as separate. So cleaning those out is super easy now.
