Although not well known to the general public, the services offered by Proton (I’m talking about Proton AG., don’t confuse, mind you, with Valve’s technology that allows Windows games to run on Linux, which have just been updated, as we told you a few hours ago ), Yes, they are exceptionally well rated by users who are particularly concerned about privacy and that therefore they are looking for the services that best and most protect them.

Originally born as a mail service, ProtonMail, The staff in charge add new services over the years such as online storage, calendar, VPN, and most recently Proton Pass, a password manager compatible with major operating systems and web browsers that brings the company’s strict security policies to a type of service that is arguably more than necessary.

Proton offers a free version of its password management service and unlike other options, it doesn’t limit basic aspects like the number of keys that can be stored and the number of devices that apps and extensions can be installed on. This of course means that they have to offer a lot of added value to those who decide on their payment plan, whether it’s a tariff for this service or a more general subscription that offers access to improved plans for all their services.

As we read in Life Hacker, today we find an interesting development in this service, right now Proton Pass offers password security assessments and searches for personal information on the dark web. The former of the two features will reach all users, both paid and free, while the latter is limited exclusively to paid plans.

Searching for personal information on the dark web is a service that has become increasingly popular recently, in response to the outbreak of leaks and ransomware attacks experienced by all types of companies and public entities. The most relevant example of this can be found in Google One, which also analyzes the main repositories where personal data is sold and exchanged. Of course, these services do not facilitate the deletion of said information, but they warn us so that we can take the necessary measures to protect ourselves from the threat it poses.
