THE IDEA, MAPPEDVault encryption and aliases are different paths.
  1. 01

    Encrypted vault

    Stored vault content has end-to-end encryption.

  2. 02

    Alias forwarding

    Alias email addresses are not end-to-end encrypted.

  3. 03

    Account data

    Check recovery, billing and feature metadata separately.

The alias exception matters when interpreting the encryption claim. See Proton’s linked documentation below.

THE JOB

Where it fits.

Manage credentials and use different email aliases for different services.

Observed Pass Plus plan: 1 user. Proton Unlimited is a separate bundle; check existing entitlements.

Free option: Free tier includes 10 hide-my-email aliases; Plus lists unlimited aliases. Check current plan limits.

THE BOUNDARY

What it leaves exposed.

A vault and an email alias do not hide browsing traffic. Signing into an identified account still identifies you to that service.

Consider recovery and sharing before moving your vault. Bundled features can save a duplicate subscription, but also concentrate trust.

THE ACTUAL BILL

Observed plans & renewals.

Scroll horizontally for the bill, renewal and original source. Selected observations, not every available plan.

Pricing page explicitly states $35.88 billed every 12 months; annual rate, not a month-to-month purchase. Prices may change.

This is the standalone Plus plan, not Proton Unlimited or Family. Confirm current checkout and tax treatment.

Refund terms: Pricing page advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee; purchase terms apply. Tax and currency depend on the final checkout. No comparison-price strike-through is used to infer renewal.

Proton Pass: vault encryption, alias exceptions and storage (opens in a new tab). A company address, server location and controlling owner are different facts. No automatic Eyes risk rating is assigned to these tools.

Provider statement

Alias addresses are an encryption exception

The policy says stored vault items and their metadata are end-to-end encrypted. Alias addresses are not encrypted because forwarding requires them. It describes retained aliases, encrypted backups for up to 30 days, and separate SimpleLogin infrastructure for some alias functions.
