Proton Pass exited beta testing just two months ago, yet it's already a compelling alternative to traditional password management services. Not only does Proton Pass boast full end-to-end encryption, but it integrates with Proton's suite of privacy-focused apps, particularly Proton Mail. There's just one problem; Proton Pass is still quite simple, and it's missing some important functionality. That's why Proton is sharing a roadmap for upcoming password management features.

Most of these new features are pretty typical for a password manager. For example, Proton is working to support login sharing, and it's developing web and desktop apps to complement the existing Proton Pass browser extension. But there's some odd and interesting stuff here, too.

Here are all of Proton Pass' upcoming features:

• Login Sharing: The ability to share logins, notes, and credit card info with family or friends will arrive near the beginning of Q4 2023 (late September or early October). At some point, Proton will also offer alias sharing, which will allow you to share a Proton Mail proxy email with other people. Shared data is protected by end-to-end encryption, of course.
• Proton Pass Desktop and Web Apps: While Proton Pass' browser extension is required for auto-fill and other features, upcoming web and desktop apps will allow you to manage saved data in a larger window. The web app will also allow you to access Proton Pass on a computer (such as a library computer) without installing the extension.
• Credit Card Autofill: The Proton Pass browser extension will automatically fill out credit card details during checkout. This feature is already supported by Proton Pass on Android.
• Pinning or Bookmarking: Proton Pass will allow you to save your favorite login details, notes, credit card numbers, and more for easy retrieval.
• Safari Extension: Safari users will finally be able to enjoy Proton Pass. Note that the Proton Pass extension is already supported on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Brave.
• Sync SimpleLogin aliases to Proton Pass: You'll be able to store SimpleLogin email aliases in Proton Pass. SimpleLogin is an open-source tool that generates proxy emails for your privacy.

These features will launch "in the coming months," according to Proton. Only login sharing has a defined release window (late Q3 or early Q4 2023). Proton also notes that the development of these features is subject to change at any time.

In addition to its upcoming features, Proton says that it's working to offer Proton Pass in more languages, on top of the dozen languages that were added last month. Proton also hopes to make its autofill system more effective on desktop and Android, though it doesn't specify what "improvements" are coming.

For a detailed rundown of these new features, check out the Proton Pass roadmap. Proton says that "longer-term" roadmaps will be published in the future. You can try Proton Pass for free, or get a year of the full service for $12 (it's currently on sale and usually costs $60 a year). If you want to use all of Proton's privacy-focused apps at a reduced rate, sign up for Proton Unlimited.
