Hi everyone,

We’re happy to announce that the 2nd highest-voted feature request is rolling out this week — Proton Pass Monitor.

Proton Pass Monitor keeps your data safe with dark web monitoring, checking for weak and reused passwords, scanning for accounts with inactive 2FA, and providing easy access to Proton Sentinel.

You can also check out the following support articles:

P.S. We also want to give a huge shoutout to u/Alfondorion who (along with many others) suggested the name.

It may take a little time for Proton Pass Monitor to become available on all platforms, thanks for your patience!

How does Proton decide if a password is weak or not? About half (361 of 678) are considered weak, and I used either Bitwarden or Proton Pass itself to generate a random one. A bunch of the ones I've spot checked have upper, lower, numbers, and symbols and they're still getting flagged as weak. I wish there were a more granular scale because I'd be happy to change the passwords that are truly weak but I'm not going to change hundreds of passwords to a different random string.

Proton defines Strong as at least 75 bits of entropy and over 100 bits is recommended. May have soemthing to do with that

They should either have more tiers or let you sort by entropy so I can focus on changing the least secure ones first

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The tiers are vulnerable, weak and strong. Change the vulnerable ones first then the weak passwords

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, but I have zero vulnerable and hundreds of weak. And like I said the "weak" ones were auto generated anyway.
