It has been a great year for Proton Pass. Its been a bad year for Gmail. My Google account has been involved in 23 data breaches to date. Proton products? Zero breaches.
There is a probability each data breach could lead to identity theft. Why keep rolling the dice?
I use Proton Pass Plus & I love their Email Alias system w/SimplePass. I can create a unique, "dummy" email whenever I sign up to a site/app. This keeps my real addresses away from data brokers which manages the risk of data breach to a very low level.
Also, I basically get no spam. The recurring emails I receive are the ones I want. Remember, Google is an ad agency with a cruddy search engine. They want me to receive lots of spam. Its good business for them.
Proton Pass has made incremental changes to the UX that make a profound difference. For months, creating an alias was 80/20% with 80% of autofills working and 20% requiring cut/paste. Enough to nudge me into using Bitwarden as a crutch for several months.
Today, that ratio is more like 98% success and 2% fail. The failures are with tech oligopolies, Apple being a prime example. I still have to cut/paste to login into my Apple Account. I don't need to login to Apple very often so I don't care. I don't use Google products (data breaches!).
Finally, I love the OTP autofill. Super convenient.
I use the Firefox extension and my browser is on high privacy settings. This may, or may not contribute to my experiences. Yours may be different.
But I believe Proton Pass will continue to improve their product for everyone. Its been my experience with them over four years. It just keeps getting better.

I've been with Protonmail since the beginning. They start with solid design intentions and then slowly make a series of improvements on their products.
This Proton product is just fine. Yes, I know Bitwarden has features X, Y, and Z as well. They're all similar and lacking at the same time. It is unconcerning to me because I've seen their products evolve and I know they are genuine, ethical people.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Trev, a day agoThis has been the best password manager I have ever used. It would be great if the browser extension would allow us to zoom in on the info or enlarge the font because sometimes it is too small to read.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Elle, 2 days agoMostly really happy with the add-on, but the following issues/features take it down from five stars:
- disable autosave for this website doesn't seem to work
- defaults to individual vaults rather than all log-ins, which means I often have to manually change to find the password that I need (and was very confusing before I realised this was happening)
- can't/doesn't offer auto-populate when pages have a small pop-up login rather than the login elements being displayed in the page (although this depends on the exact website)Developer response

- Rated 2 out of 5by Kyber, 3 days agoThe claim that internet connection is not required to access passwords, as stated in the extension's description, is misleading. Upon restarting Firefox (closing and reopening the browser) without an internet connection or access to Proton servers, the extension displays the error message: "Your session could not be resumed. (Internet connection lost)." This demonstrates that the extension relies on an active connection to function properly, contrary to the description.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18912730, 4 days agoDe verdad, he estado usando sus servicios por al menos 1 año y medio, y genuinamente ha sido una experiencia maravillosa. Lamentablemente nunca he podido contratar el servicio premiun por cuestiones económicas de mi país pero aun así, usar Proton (Mail, Pass y VPN) ha sido de las mejores cosas que he podido hacer. Ojala se vuelvan más reconocidos con el tiempo y solo vayan a mejor.
