LoginScout vs Proton Pass
If you already live in Proton and want aliases that forward to your Proton inbox, that is Hide my email. If you need a library for Steam / Epic / Roblox alts plus a disposable inbox that sits on the same card as the login, that is LoginScout Premium. They are adjacent, not the same product.
Official Proton Pass site: Proton Pass
| Topic | LoginScout | Proton Pass |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Library of game/service logins you own, with notes and optional signup tools | General password manager (see proton.me/pass for current apps and autofill) |
| Hide-my-email / disposable inbox | Premium issues a private vault-tied mailbox for signups you own. Free can store a recovery email on the card — it does not issue a LoginScout inbox. | Proton documents Hide my email aliases that typically forward to your Proton address. Confirm current behavior on their site — we do not copy their feature list. |
| Where verification mail lands | In the vault inbox, next to that library card (Premium) | Usually in the Proton account that owns the alias — not inside LoginScout |
| Browser autofill | No. You copy from the vault. | See Proton Pass official apps and extensions |
| Burner SMS | Premium, via 5sim, monthly quota | Not LoginScout’s 5sim flow; do not assume Proton sells numbers |
| Account limit (LoginScout) | Free: 5. Premium: 100. | See their current plans |
| Pricing | Free forever at 5 accounts; Premium $4.99/mo or $49/year as shown on /pricing | Not listed here — prices change. Open proton.me/pass. |
Hide-my-email adjacency, different inboxes
People compare these products because both can keep a game signup off a personal Gmail. Proton’s Hide my email (documented on proton.me/pass) is an alias in the Proton account. LoginScout’s Premium temp mail is a mailbox issued for the vault, so the verification message is next to the Steam or Epic card.
If the alias forwards into Proton Mail, you still have to remember which Fortnite user used which alias. LoginScout’s bet is that the inbox belongs on the library card. That only happens if you are on Premium and you actually save the login.
Free LoginScout still stores notes, authenticator codes, and a recovery email you type in. It will not mint a LoginScout address. That split matches Pricing and Features.
Password manager vs gaming library
Proton Pass is a general password manager. LoginScout does not autofill the browser and does not try to replace Proton’s apps. Copy credentials out of the vault.
If your pain is Steam Guard backups, Epic reset inboxes, and “this Roblox is the SMS one,” a Proton vault can store the password and still leave that story in a notes app. That messy context is the job LoginScout is built for.
Household sharing of a console profile you own is fine to record. Bought or borrowed logins are not.
When to skip LoginScout temp mail
Use a real inbox — Proton Mail included — for purchases, identity, and accounts you cannot replace. A vault-tied disposable address is for launches and alts you own, not for banks.
If you already like Hide my email and you do not need a gaming library, you do not need LoginScout. If you need the library and you already have Proton aliases, you can still store those aliases on Free cards without upgrading.
How to choose
Keep Proton Pass if you want Proton’s password manager, apps, and hide-my-email aliases that feed your Proton inbox. Use LoginScout when the missing piece is a gaming alt library plus — on Premium — a disposable inbox that lives in the same vault as the password.
Do not migrate payroll or banking into LoginScout to “replace” Proton Pass. Check proton.me/pass for their current plans. We do not invent their prices. A LoginScout-issued mailbox is Premium; storing a recovery address you already have is available on Free.

- Is Hide my email the same as LoginScout temp mail?
- No. Hide my email is an alias that typically forwards into your Proton inbox. LoginScout Premium issues a disposable mailbox tied to your vault so the verify message sits next to the saved login. Free does not get that issued inbox.
