Proton Pass Introduces Universal Passkey Support
Proton Pass now offers passkey support across all devices and plans, marking a significant step towards enhancing online security.
- Proton Pass has announced the addition of passkey support for all users, making it a more secure and convenient alternative to traditional passwords.
- The feature is available on all devices and is free for both free and premium users, emphasizing Proton's commitment to universal security.
- Passkeys rely on biometric data or a PIN for authentication, reducing the risk of phishing and brute-force attacks.

- To use passkeys, users need to be running iOS 17 on iPhone or Android 14 on Android devices, with some limitations on browser support.
