It will look for email addresses that have been stolen.
Proton Pass, the encrypted password manager offered by Proton, has been updated with a significant update that places an emphasis on adding security. This is made possible by a brand-new set of tools known as Pass Monitor, which will notify customers of vulnerabilities in their accounts as well as breaches in their data.
The system will also walk customers through potential solutions in the event that there is a data leak from a third-party service, which is something that occurs very frequently. This functionality is carried out automatically. In addition to this, it searches the dark web and communicates with individuals in the event that Proton addresses, email aliases, and up to 10 custom email addresses have been compromised and used for malicious purposes. In the event that this occurs, you will receive a notification so that you can take appropriate action.
A password health function is included in Pass Monitor, which alerts users to any passwords that are excessively overused or weak and could benefit from an update. The two-factor authentication component of the toolset that is not currently being used is an additional layer of security that recognizes different accounts that have the option for two-factor authentication at this time.
A long-awaited addition to Pass Monitor is the incorporation of the Proton Sentinel feature by the firm. In order to identify and prevent account takeover assaults, the service employs a combination of artificial intelligence and human analysts.
It is possible for free users to check the health of their passwords and perform two-factor authentication, but monitoring of the dark web and Proton Sentinel are only available to paid customers. To our good fortune, memberships to Pass Plus are currently available for a price of $2 per month. In the “next few days,” these new tools, which are already available for Windows, Android, and iOS, will be made available to customers who are already enrolled.
Due to the fact that the password manager just recently had its one birthday, Proton is actually a relatively new player in the field of developing password security. The company is far more well-known for its exceptional virtual private network (VPN) software, which topped our ranking of the best VPNs.
