AND recent news the arrival of Proton Monitor, a tool integrated within Proton Pass which allows you to simply view security issues related to your accounts. This new suite called Proton Monitor is essentially the set, with some additions, of some already existing features such as control of data breaches on the dark web And Proton Sentinel.
Proton Monitor has arrived and also the control of aliases in data breaches
According to their blog Proton Monitor in fact, it includes four levels of security:
- Dark Web Monitoring: is checking your email addresses on the dark web. We also dedicated an article to this. The main news about this is that it will be possible to control it too all aliases used including those of custom domains. You can also add up to 10 “extra” email addresses that have nothing to do with your Proton account. The moment one of these addresses is found in some data breach you will be immediately notified by Proton.
- Password Health: it is an automatic tool that allows you to quickly know the level of protection of the various accounts. In fact, all passwords are analyzed and you will be able to find out which ones are too weak and also which ones are repeated within the various accounts. The ideal, as we have already explained, is to have long and complex passwords and especially do not reuse them.
- Inactive two-factor authentication: perhaps it is the least useful tool, not so much because 2FA is useless, on the contrary, but because it is not entirely recommended to have 2FA along with yours password manager. For example, we recommend Aegis or Ente Auth. However, the idea is nice because only providers that support 2FA are identified.
- Proton Sentinel: it's a suite from last year, the program Proton Sentinel analyzes each login to try to immediately block those most at risk.
Proton Pass is now almost complete
Between passkey support and these security tools, Proton Pass is making giant strides if we think that it only saw its birth in August 2023.
The application is not yet perfect and has several problems recognizing the compilation fields on both desktop and smartphone but it is certainly on the way to being one of the best alternatives in this field together with Bitwarden.
