Question about migrating from iCloud Keychain to Proton Pass

Hello everyone,

I’d like to switch to Proton Pass (Plus or Lifetime), but I have a question and can’t seem to find an answer.

Currently, with icloud+ (HME + iCloud Keychain) each service has its own email address and unique password (or passkey) the same goes for my current Proton account :-). Only my Apple account uses an email address and password that I know.

My question is: how do those who have migrated from iCloud Keychain to Proton manage their Apple and Proton accounts ?

I’m not sure if I’m being entirely clear, but once I migrate, should I set my Proton and Apple accounts to use the same password in case I need to access one of them without being able to recall their unique passwords? For example, if I set a random password on my Apple account and then reset my iPhone while on vacation without having my Mac or a PC available.

Here’s an example that might make it a little clearer:

  • Proton account = personal email + password: TOTOA
  • Apple account = personal email + password: TOTOA
  • Amazon account = hide my email + password: random
  • Facebook account = hide my email + password: random
