Hi everyone,
We’re happy to announce that the 2nd highest-voted feature request is rolling out this week — Proton Pass Monitor.
Proton Pass Monitor keeps your data safe with dark web monitoring, checking for weak and reused passwords, scanning for accounts with inactive 2FA, and providing easy access to Proton Sentinel.
You can also check out the following support articles:

Let us know what you think! As always, we appreciate your support and feedback.
— Proton Team
P.S. We also want to give a huge shoutout to u/Alfondorion who (along with many others) suggested the name.
It may take a little time for Proton Pass Monitor to become available on all platforms, thanks for your patience!
If something is weak, it is Proton’s knowledge of password strength. For example, they call a 16-character password without special characters “weak,” which has around 95 bits of entropy, so this doesn’t make sense. They also overemphasize the role of special characters in passwords, as just increasing the password length by a single character would add more entropy than enabling special characters. Furthermore, many of Proton’s articles regarding password strength contain a lot of misinformation. This one talking about password entropy might be their worst yet. You cannot seriously claim that a single word, “Bankruptcies,” has 68.4 bits of entropy, which also isn’t the only inaccurate claim that the article makes.
