Proton’s Pass Monitor is a solid security suite to keep you safe online

Pass Monitor offers a range of features to bolster your online security. It enables users to check their email addresses for potential exposure, including all email addresses associated with their account and hide-my-email aliases created using Proton Pass. The service also supports the addition of custom email addresses, which, after verification, can be monitored for third-party domains and Proton addresses.

But Pass Monitor’s main advantage is its ability to check the Dark Web for email and data breaches. Proton firstintroduced Dark Web Monitoring to its mail servicesa few weeks ago, and now it’s also coming to the Pass Monitor security suite for a level-up in protection. As the name implies, Dark Web Monitoring goes into the Dark Web to see if your credentials are exposed in that space.

Moreover, the service can identify your weak passwords across various platforms and advise you to change them for stronger and harder-to-guess passwords, much like a similar feature in Google’s password manager for Chrome, Android, and other platforms. If you use a similar password on multiple websites, the Pass Monitor will also suggest creating unique passwords for each service.

To further reinforce your privacy, Pass Monitor can identify accounts withoutTwo-Factor Authentication(2FA) enabled and suggests you allow it as an additional layer of security. The service can also check which email addresses and aliases have been leaked from a third-party platform and provide users with recommendations on how to protect their data.

Pass Monitor with Password Health is now available to all Proton users. Meanwhile, you must buy a subscription to access other perks, such as Dark Web Monitoring. In the next few days, Proton Pass will get an update that includes the Pass Monitor security suite.
