The real monsters are not under the bed. They are in the inbox that got breached three years ago and whose password you still use on Amazon. They are in the shared folder you set up with an ex-colleague and forgot to revoke. They are in the “set and forget” accounts you have no way to prove nobody else has keys to.
Halloween is pCloud’s way of giving you a torch, two sets of locks, and 50 per cent off both. The deal runs in two acts.
Act One: Pass Lifetime at Half Price
Dates: 19 October – 25 October 2026
- pCloud Pass Premium Lifetime —
$239→ $119 - pCloud Pass Family Lifetime (up to 5 users) —
$399→ $199
Pass is pCloud’s password manager — unlimited entries, cross-device sync, browser autofill, built-in 2FA codes, and encrypted at rest with a key only you hold. The Family plan covers up to five people in a household: parents, teenagers, a grandparent whose Netflix password keeps getting changed.
“Lifetime” is the key word. Most password managers charge €40–60 a year, forever. Pass Lifetime is one payment of $119 and the account continues as long as pCloud exists. On a 15-year horizon that is a ratio of roughly 1:8 versus the subscription path. If you are already paying for a password manager monthly, this is the week to stop.
Act Two: Encryption Lifetime at Half Price
Dates: 26 October 2026 and 31 October 2026 only
- pCloud Encryption Lifetime —
$229→ $115
pCloud Encryption adds a client-side, zero-knowledge Crypto folder to any pCloud account. Files inside the Crypto folder are encrypted on your device before upload. The key never leaves you. Even pCloud cannot read what you put in there — nobody with a subpoena to pCloud can either, because there is nothing on their side to hand over.
The brief for this one is a single sentence, and it is pCloud’s own: stay protected from digital monsters with zero-knowledge encryption. Lock your files away from prying eyes. Only you hold the key.
Act Two is only two dates — the 26th and the 31st. If you plan to buy, set a reminder.
Who Should Grab Which
- Still using a Notes file or your browser’s autofill for passwords? Act One. Pass Premium Lifetime is the one-off that stops the subscription treadmill and shuts the biggest personal cybersecurity hole in one afternoon.
- Have a partner, parents or kids who all reuse the same four passwords? Act One, Family Lifetime. One account, up to five people, one Halloween payment.
- Store anything sensitive — contracts, scanned IDs, medical records, legal paperwork? Act Two. The Crypto folder is where that content actually belongs; $115 one-off beats a subscription you forget about.
- Want all three (Pass, Encryption, pCloud storage)? Buy Pass in Act One, Encryption on the 26th, and layer whichever pCloud storage plan you already have or plan to buy underneath. The three products are designed to interoperate.
The Small Print
- Prices in USD. Each landing page shows your local currency on load.
- Lifetime = one-off payment, no renewals, account valid for the lifetime of the pCloud product line.
- Pass dates: 19 October – 25 October. Encryption dates: 26 October and 31 October only.
- Available to new and existing pCloud users. No sign-up required to see the price.
Two landing pages, two acts, one Halloween window:
- Pass (19–25 October)
- Encryption (26 and 31 October only)
The scariest thing in your digital life is not a hooded cartoon on a cereal-advert poster. It is a reused password nobody has looked at in six years, and a folder of sensitive files sitting on a server that any reasonable court order could reach. Half price, this week and next. Not a bad trade for a Halloween treat.
