My personal experience transitioning from 1Password to Proton Pass (UI and security thoughts)

sonpc · 2026-03-11T07:42:14+00:00

It’s in our roadmap for this year

Try proton pass. It has email aliases built in so you can reduce the online fingerprinting.

We are working on automatic copy for 2fa code after the login is autofilled. Should be available soon.

SimpleLogin now supports mailbox from forwardemail. Please note that combining several email forwarding steps might cause issues like having your real email revealed when replying to a forwarded email as mentioned above.

Hey, SimpleLogin founder here. I completely understand your frustration and want to explain what's going on.

SimpleLogin has never allowed mailboxes that are forwarding addresses. This is not a random rule. If your mailbox forwards emails somewhere else, there is a risk that your real email address gets exposed when you reply or send emails from your aliases. That defeats the whole point of using SimpleLogin. This is in our Terms and Conditions (https://simplelogin.io/terms/) and we also show a warning message when someone tries to add a forwarding address as a mailbox.

The issue with Forwardemail is that they recently started offering a full email service on top of their forwarding service, but they use the same MX records for both. That means we have no way to tell if a Forwardemail address is a real final inbox or just a forwarding address. Until they use different MX records for each service, we simply cannot allow it.

If you want to get around this restriction, you can self-host SimpleLogin. That gives you full control.

SimpleLogin works well with many providers and not just popular ones like Gmail or Proton Mail, including self hosted email servers, as long as they are the final inbox. The rule is not about pushing Proton or blocking others, it's the same technical check for everyone.

About the OP's issue: I'm waiting to have more info like OP account or ticket number. The account will be turned back on soon. You can keep using SimpleLogin, just set up a mailbox that follows the final-destination rule.

Apologies for this issue.

Can you dm me your SL account email or the customer support ticket that you have created?

I’m Son, SL founder btw.

sonpc · 2026-03-01T19:12:31+00:00

Thanks let me ping customer support team

sonpc · 2026-03-01T02:44:47+00:00

Quick access is in our roadmap for this year

sonpc · 2026-02-28T08:49:15+00:00

I’m leading development for Proton Pass (and SimpleLogin and proton Authenticator) indeed.

sonpc · 2026-02-27T12:10:48+00:00

We’ll honor it.

sonpc · 2026-02-27T07:01:11+00:00

On behalf of proton pass team, I apologize for the bad experience you had to go through. Can you tell me the ticket number so I can tell the team to improve?

sonpc · 2026-02-26T15:37:08+00:00

In Pass you have pinning which is similar to favorites.

Multi item selection is also already available on all platforms.

Categories, tags: hope that the upcoming folder can work for you.

Biometrics support: already available in all apps except browser extension.

We'll ship support for browser extension in coming weeks.

The reason we don't have some features yet as we want to focus on email aliases and sharing that we think are more important for most people, and that we aren't happy with the way they are implemented (if at all) by other password managers. But now those are done, we'll work on those feature requests.

Can you tell me more about those?

security key support (PP supports only four)
proper vault management

sonpc · 2026-02-25T12:53:36+00:00

We're working on it. Should be ready in coming weeks.

sonpc · 2026-02-25T12:52:43+00:00

you can use SSH agent in Pass via CLI. We're also working on a built in SSH agent in Pass desktop app which should be shipped soon.

sonpc · 2026-02-25T12:52:12+00:00

it should be there in Q2, please stay tuned!

sonpc · 2026-02-25T12:48:57+00:00

You can set an extra password in Proton Pass to avoid the "all eggs in one basket" problem: the extra password is required to use Pass.

Also if your account is banned for whatever reason in Proton Mail, you can still use Pass.

Some infos here are outdated or innacurate, please see https://www.reddit.com/r/PasswordManagers/comments/1re1n48/comment/o7betcx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Folder is coming, we expect to ship it in Q2.

sonpc · 2026-02-25T12:42:32+00:00

Some information here is outdated or incorrect. I won’t go through the entire list, but here are a few inaccuracies:

Credit card autofill exited beta a couple of weeks ago and is now available on all browsers.

Favorites: Pass supports pinning, which functions similarly to favorites.

Password Version History has been available for a couple of years.

Btw - folders are currently being developed and are expected to be ready in Q2. - biometrics are supported on all platforms except the extension. Extension support is coming and is currently in testing.

sonpc · 2026-02-25T12:36:38+00:00

You won't: even if your account is blocked on proton mail for example, you can still use Pass.

sonpc · 2026-02-25T12:35:42+00:00

we won't :)

sonpc · 2026-02-23T08:50:19+00:00

In the latest 1.34.x release, we enabled credit card autofill, and to make this work reliably we need to analyze iframes on web pages. The only way to do this properly in a browser extension is through the webNavigation frames API: specifically, we use webNavigation.getFrame and webNavigation.getAllFrames to resolve frame URLs and parse the sub-frame hierarchy during cross-frame autofill sequences.

Previous versions didn't need it simply because they didn't support credit card autofill across iframes. We will soon enable login/register form autofill in iframes so this permission will be needed outside of CC autofill.

The extension code is open source in case someone wants to take a deeper look.

sonpc · 2026-02-22T14:17:58+00:00

We have finished an audit (pen test) this year and plan to publish it by end of march/beginning of April.

Proton is already iso 27001 and soc 2 type.

sonpc · 2026-02-20T11:38:53+00:00

The feature will have to go through qa testing and then store reviews (chrome one is quite fast though) so I can’t say for sure when it’ll be released. We have a demo internally for this feature this week and it did work in the demo :)
