Restore a deleted item in Proton Pass Free

If a saved item disappears from Proton Pass, check Trash before creating another copy. This example restores a fictional note on Free and checks that its text returns.

1. Check the right account and search

1. Open Proton Pass (opens in a new tab).
2. Clear the search and open All items. A search or selected collection can hide an item that still exists.
3. If it is missing, open Trash in the left sidebar.

To practise safely, create a fictional note first. Open that note, click its three-dot More options button, then Move to Trash. Leave real items untouched.

2. Restore the selected item

1. Select the item in Trash. Read its title and details to check it is the right one.
2. Open the item's three-dot More options menu.
3. Click Restore item. Avoid Delete permanently.

3. Check that recovery worked

1. Open All items and search for the restored title.
2. Open it and compare its fields with what you expected.
3. Reload and check again. The practice note should appear in All items and no longer be in Trash.

If Trash is empty

Check the account you signed in to. The ordinary Restore item action cannot supply an item absent from Trash. Do not empty Trash while investigating a missing item.

This example restores text only. It does not change a website password or account authentication.

To rehearse with a fictional note, start with Proton Pass Free (opens in a new tab). For a real missing item, check the original account and its Trash instead. Creating another account cannot recover that item.
