Proton Pass is an open source, end-to-end encrypted password manager app. Create and store passwords, email aliases, 2FA codes, and notes on all your devices
Great that it has an email alias feature built in. But I use 1Password and to me it’s been so great that it’d be really hard to convince me switching to something else.
Bitwarden supports AnonAddy, DuckDuckGo, Fastmail, Firefox Relay, and SimpleLogin. I use it with my paid SimpleLogin account using the SimpleLogin default email domain (configurable in your settings - can be a SL-owned domain or your own).
I’m guessing ProtonPass just uses SimpleLogin on the backend since SimpleLogin is owned by Proton. I don’t think there’s really much difference unless you count 1-party being an advantage instead of 2-party.
Edit: O there is a difference in cost - not sure if this is what you meant. Bitwarden+SL will cost more (assuming introductory $1/month pricing on ProtonPass)
It’s great that Bitwarden integrates with other services. It’s just very convenient to have it completely built in, especially for inexperienced users. You don’t need to do any setup, and if the password manager is smart enough to suggest using an alias automatically when a registration requires an email address, it’s a no-brainer.

For the record, Bitwarden also has email aliasing built-in when generating a username:
Yeah, but with Proton, the email service is built-in, while BitWarden relies on an external service (say a domain you use for catch-all).

How many inexperienced users are using a password manager with an email aliasing service?
I don’t know, but there’s no denying that it’s more convenient. Whether you see that as a relevant advantage is up to you.
