You Can Now Attach Files to Your Passwords with Proton Pass

If you are a Proton Pass user, then you already know that it is one of the best open source password managers around, being readily available for most popular platforms. Since its launch back in 2023, Proton Pass has gained notable market share in the space thanks to its secure, easy-to-use nature.

Earlier this month, Proton had laid out their roadmap for spring, mentioning that many major upgrades were coming to their product lineup.

So, join us as we look at one such upgrade that has just arrived for Proton Pass.

Proton Pass File Attachments: What to Expect?

In a bid to make keeping track of essential files easy, Proton Pass now supports file attachments for its entries, allowing a user to upload multiple attachments in a single Proton Pass entry with a total file size limit of 100 MB. It can handle file types such as documents, photos, and videos.

Proton says that keeping track of essential documents is easier when they are accessible from one secure location. They introduced this so that users can have quick, easy access to their most important files.

If you use the Proton Pass Web App or one of the desktop applications, then it is quite straightforward to add file attachments. Create a new entry by clicking on "Create Item", select the entry type, and enter the relevant details.

Now, go down to the "Attachments" section and start uploading the necessary files. It works the same for existing Proton Pass entries too.

The Chrome browser extension for Proton Pass also works similarly, where, when creating a new entry or updating an existing one, you have the option to add file attachments to those.

For those wondering, the file attachment feature works not only for password entries, but also for other entries such as Alias, Card, Note, and Identity.

Unfortunately, this feature is only available on the paid plans of Proton Pass. For more information on this, you can refer to the official support page.

📥 Get Proton Pass

If you keep your Proton Pass app or browser extension updated, then you already have this file attachment feature. If you don't have, then I suggest you perform an upgrade.

For new users, Proton Pass is available for desktop via web, native applications, and browser extensions. Similarly, for mobile users, the official Proton Pass app is also available.

You can sign up for a new account (partner link) to get started.
