Proton's password manager, Proton Pass, is rolling out a useful new feature that lets you share your passwords (sign-ins) securely, using end-to-end encryption (E2EE). So instead of sharing a password via Gmail or text, Proton will now let you give friends, family members, or colleagues access to streaming services, bank accounts , and more, securely.
Proton launched Proton Pass over the summer, allowing customers to store usernames, passwords , notes, bank cards, and email aliases using E2EE, for complete protection from third parties, including Proton itself. Now, however, Proton is expanding its password management to include secure sharing. So you can safely share this information with others. When you share a password, your data goes through layers of security, including secure transport, ensuring that only the recipient can decode and recognize the information.

You can share your passwords by selecting a vault or creating a new one in Proton Pass. Then, select “Share” and enter the email of the person you want to share the information with. The recipient will receive an invitation to access the vault. Proton will ask them to create a Proton Pass account (if they don’t already have one).
Of course, you will have the ability to change or revoke access to other users. You will also be able to set whether other users can view the items in your vault, edit them, or act as administrators.
