from the team:

Hi everyone,

Based on your feedback, we’re happy to share that you can now sync aliases between Proton Pass and SimpleLogin.

This feature is rolling out now and will be available for everyone soon. ⏰

Here’s how it works:

  • Tap the ‘sync aliases’ button in Proton Pass
  • Choose which vault to sync aliases to
  • Aliases will continue to sync, and disabled aliases will be reflected in Proton Pass and SimpleLogin

What’s next?

Soon, you’ll be able to manage custom domains and additional mailboxes, as well as send emails from Proton Pass hide-my-email aliases.

Let us know what you think.

    What does “sync aliases” mean? What am I syncing? They both already sync aliases.

    as well as send emails from Proton Pass hide-my-email aliases

      Previously, if you used the SimpleLogin dashboard or extension to create an alias, it wouldn’t show up in Pass, but if you made an alias in Pass, it would show up in SimpleLogin’s dashboard/extension.

      This just means it’ll now show your full list of aliases in Pass, regardless of if you created them directly through SimpleLogin, or through Pass.

        Weird, all of mine have been synced both ways since day 1…?

          interesting, guess you were just lucky then. For reference, here’s what it otherwise looked like, as both a SimpleLogin and Pass user:

          On SimpleLogin, I have 164 aliases

          On Pass, it only thinks I have 9

    I’m confused - I have a catch all alias, so anything @mydomain will work. Is there any reason I’d care about syncing these aliases?

      I have a catch-all but rarely use it for a couple of reasons:

      1. You’re essentially doxxing yourself when you use it, if you care about that, since you’re the only one with that domain.

      2. When someone inevitably figures out you use one, they will use it to harrass you.

      Main reason you’d use it is if you created aliases in SimpleLogin and want them to be visible in Proton Pass.
