With Emergency Access, you can choose up to five trusted contacts who can gain access to your account either immediately or after a custom wait time you set in advance, ranging from days to months. Your trusted contacts will also need to have a Proton Account to gain access.
You remain in control: If a trusted contact requests access to your account, during the wait time, you can approve it immediately or deny the request. If you do nothing, the request will automatically be approved after the designated waiting time. You can revoke access or modify your emergency contacts anytime. Once granted, your trusted contacts will be able to securely access your Proton data, including emails, passwords, and files.
To designate emergency contacts, you’ll need to have a paid Proton plan (all paid plans qualify).
