Quick pick

Proton Pass fits for virtually any personal or small team use case — stronger architecture, metadata encryption, better value, clean record.

LastPass fits only if a specific legacy enterprise SSO integration is a hard dependency.

Proton Pass encrypts metadata — URLs, email addresses, note fields. LastPass left URL metadata unencrypted in its 2022 breach. Security score: Proton Pass 9.0 vs LastPass 5.8. Transparency: 8.9 vs 2.8. Privacy: 8.9 vs 3.8. The gaps are not marginal.

If you choose LastPass

What you get that Proton Pass doesn't offer

A legacy enterprise SSO integration catalog — specific connectors for established enterprise environments that depend on existing LastPass infrastructure.

What you give up

Proton Pass's metadata encryption across URLs and email addresses. Swiss jurisdiction. Open source clients. Transparency 8.9 vs 2.8 — Proton Pass publishes audits openly; LastPass audit record consists primarily of compliance certifications. Value score: Proton Pass 9.0 vs LastPass 4.7.

If you choose Proton Pass

What you get that LastPass doesn't offer

Metadata encryption on URLs and email addresses. Swiss jurisdiction. Open source clients — independently auditable. Built-in email alias integration. A clean security record. Published audit results.

What you give up

LastPass's legacy SSO integration catalog. Proton Pass launched 2023 — less mature product. No delegated access or emergency contact (recovery 4.5 vs LastPass 3.9, both weak).
