Ready for a smarter password manager?
Start with 2 free identities, each with its own password manager and optional phone number.
Two privacy-first approaches to password management. See how WIGGWIGG adds phone numbers to the equation.
Proton Pass comes from the team behind ProtonMail. It's open-source, offers a generous free tier, and includes hide-my-email aliases. It also fits into the Proton ecosystem (ProtonMail, ProtonVPN, Proton Drive). WIGGWIGG shares the same privacy-first philosophy but takes a different approach: Canadian phone numbers and identity-based organization alongside the password manager.

Proton Pass stores passwords and provides email aliases. WIGGWIGG stores passwords AND gives you Canadian phone numbers for each identity. Phone numbers are harder to replace than email aliases.
Proton Pass uses standard password manager organization. WIGGWIGG organizes everything by identity. Your work identity has its own phone number, passwords, and contacts, completely separate from personal.
Proton is Swiss (great for privacy). WIGGWIGG is Canadian, subject to PIPEDA. Both jurisdictions have strong privacy protections. WIGGWIGG provides Canadian phone numbers and bilingual support that Proton doesn't.
Proton Pass includes hide-my-email aliases. WIGGWIGG includes phone numbers you can actually call and text from. Different tools for different privacy needs.
Proton Pass is an open-source, privacy-focused password manager backed by the Proton ecosystem. WIGGWIGG shares that commitment to privacy and adds something Proton doesn't offer: Canadian phone numbers tied to your identities.
Proton focuses on email privacy and password storage. WIGGWIGG adds real phone numbers to the identity mix. Email aliases are useful, but a dedicated phone number per identity provides deeper separation.
Proton started with a CERN crowdfunding campaign. WIGGWIGG started with a solo founder in Quebec. Both chose independence over venture capital. Both answer to users, not investors.
Proton benefits from Swiss privacy law. WIGGWIGG benefits from Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA). Both jurisdictions offer strong protections. WIGGWIGG also provides Canadian phone numbers, which Proton doesn't.
Proton serves a global audience from Switzerland. WIGGWIGG is built specifically for Canadians, in Quebec, with Canadian phone numbers and native French and English support.
