Users of the secure password manager, Proton Pass, have been looking forward to expanded functionality for some time. Among the most requested additions are dedicated categories for storing bank account details and software licenses. These features promise to bring a new level of organization and security to managing sensitive personal and professional information within the Proton ecosystem.
Scrolling through the Proton Pass subreddit, I noticed a consistent theme: people really want a secure place to keep track of things beyond just website logins and credit cards. I found one Reddit thread from two years ago where someone specifically outlined the need for a ‘Bank Accounts’ category, noting how it requires more fields than a simple payment card, like account numbers, sort codes, and customer identifiers. It seems that initial request was acknowledged by the Proton team back then, with a promise of more item types in the future.
Fast forward to just a few days ago, the topic resurfaced with users questioning if these long-promised features had been scrapped. One user, considering Proton Pass for their organization, highlighted how critical these specific item types were for their potential move to Proton Pass Business. It shows how important these seemingly small additions can be for different use cases, especially for businesses managing multiple licenses and financial accounts.
Fortunately, a developer from the Proton Pass team stepped in to clear things up. They confirmed that both Bank Account and Software License features are currently undergoing alpha testing. This is great news for those who have been patiently waiting. The developer also gave a tentative timeline, suggesting the features could be rolled out to users this month or the next.
This upcoming release addresses a clear demand from the community and should make Proton Pass even more versatile for managing a wider range of sensitive digital credentials and information securely. It’s good to see development continues on these requested fronts.
