This week, Apple released in the latest update of iOS and MacOS an application that is simply called “Passwords”.

In my opinion, Apple could be a serious competitor to Pass: both provide temporary emails, both manage Passkeys, but what I think sets Apple apart from Proton is the “Connect with Apple” feature. Passwords are also encrypted (for Apple via the default iCloud Keychain).

Of course, Proton does not have the same financial income as Apple, which pushes them, for example, to ask to pay for two-factor authentication. But I stay with Proton because I simply love the values of the company but also because I have my emails, my calendar, my drive that are on Proton.

Now I think it would be interesting for Proton to work on an alternative to “Connect with Google” or “Connect with Apple”. What do you think?

    It’s exactly like the “Connect with Google” feature but also “private” according to them. I don’t know if it’s a marketing argument or what but unlike Google they generate an alias email that is similar to what Proton does but for free. There is a Windows App.
