pCloud Pass The European alternative to LastPass

pCloud Pass is a password manager from pCloud International AG in Baar, Switzerland, which also operates the pCloud cloud storage service. It stores passwords, card details and secure notes, which can be filled into websites and apps via autofill. A password generator, tags for organisation, search and sharing items with contacts are part of the feature set. Passwords can be imported from browsers, other password managers or via CSV file. Unlocking works with the master password or biometrics.

According to the provider, all data is encrypted before it leaves the device. The operator is pCloud International AG, based in Baar, and the terms of service are governed by Swiss law. The pCloud privacy policy states that users can choose between servers in the European Union and in the United States, and the storage location can be changed in the account settings. The pCloud Pass website does not give a separate statement on where Pass data is stored. Switzerland is not an EU member but has an adequacy decision from the European Commission.
