Proton Pass suits families who care about privacy as much as convenience. Its pricing page lists a free plan with unlimited logins, notes and credit cards on unlimited devices, plus browser, mobile and desktop apps and automatic sync. The free tier also includes 10 hide-my-email aliases, which let you sign up for shops and newsletters without exposing your real address. Pass Plus costs $35.88 a year, or $2.99 a month, and adds unlimited aliases, a built-in 2FA authenticator, vault and link sharing, Dark Web Monitoring, file attachments and Emergency Access. Pass Family puts 6 Pass Plus accounts under one admin panel for $59.88 a year. The downsides are promotional prices that change by date and a feature set with more privacy options, such as aliases and custom domains, than a less technical relative may need. We compared documented features and published prices.
