Hey,

Proton Pass is open source and has now passed an independent security audit (by Cure53). The Android and iOS apps source code can be found here, the browser extensions source code for Firefox and Chrome-based browsers (including Edge) can be found here.

Proton has also completed an independent security audit conducted by Cure53 for all Proton Pass applications and browser extensions, along with the Proton API. This was a “white box” audit, meaning the security researchers were given full access to the Proton Pass source code, along with full access to Proton Pass engineers.

More information can be found in the blog post over here. The audit report can also be found in the blog post.

I've been using Bitwarden for a long time and I'm mostly pretty happy with it. I know that, other than the platform's level of security, there's not much to compare when it comes to something like a pass manager, since it only has to do one thing. But does this one have or do something that would make me move to it?

I don't think this is aimed at people who selfhost their own Password Manager. The only real "draw" it would have for those who do is the ability to consolidate your Pass Manager, VPN, and Email into one service.

The built in 2 factor authentication and built in simplelogin are the best assets.
