Hey everyone, how do you evaluate the company Proton AG, the owner of Proton Mail and Proton Pass? I’m in the process of migrating some accounts to their platform, but I’ve always been wary of using a password solution, especially after the LastPass incident. I used to use Keepass stand alone, but it’s quite cumbersome. So, how do you assess their credibility and security? Just saying that it’s Swiss and has scientists doesn’t really help, lol. Thanks!

    I would suggest looking into other options for PW managers like bitwarden. Having email, calendar, drive, VPN, and PW manager all from one provider just means there is a single point of failure.

      I agree, keep your password manager, 2FA, and email all on separate services so at least there is some protection from getting your accounts stolen if they get access to one of them.

    especially after the LastPass incident.

    Which one?

    Serously, I think LastPass has the worst security record for any password manager. Ever. And I think they’re the only who sold to some management company.

    Proton is solid. So is Bitwarden.

    How is it cumbersome, also, have you checked out KeePassXC? It’s, IMO, much better than the official KeePass app.
