    I wish that proton would focus on the depth of their present stack, as opposed to breadth.

    I’ve been begging for rclone support for proton drive for a long time now… without it, I basically have 1tb sitting there useless.

        Just out of curiosity. How is it poorly supported?
        I haven’t used it much yet, but the times i have it seems to have worked fine.

            I just had a look and as far as i can tell ProtonVPN suppports everything Mullvad does. On windows…
            On linux you get fuckall settings. No split tunneling, no dns, no wireguard, no nothing. There seems to be no parity between linux and windows. That is less than poorly supported, it’s atrocious tbh.
            On windows you even get a fancy map with triangles that shows server locations that can be used to quick connect.
            And this is with an unlimited account so i don’t believe it’s an account level limit.

            Edit: I just looked and to be fair they do state in the plan features that Split tunneling is only available on Android and Windows

                At the very least it’s super weird.
                I don’t get why they don’t focus on creating partity and add the bare minimum functions like sync for drive and split tunnel for vpn on all devices before spreading out to password managers and so on.
                I’m slowly losing confidence in them.

            Thanks for the in depth answer.
            I think a paid account has more features, but i of course don’t know if they apply to the linux client.
            I’ll check the features once i get on my pc and get back to you.
            I might even spin up a windows VM to check the differences between the versions if i can find the time.

        It’s horrible. I’ve had to hack together a shell script to switch between countries using a bunch of openvpn config files. The official app broke my Linux Mint network setup.

    Tempting. I’ve been using Bitwarden for awhile now and it’s been fantastic. I am not sure I need to switch.

      You can save a bit of money considering this is currently $1/mo or “free” with some package plans, but rest assured it is not as good as BitWarden or 1P and likely never will be. It’s very MVP and Proton has a habit of promising products and features that don’t see the light of day for years on end.

      Proton’s value to me is the “suite” of products they’ve developed at a very reasonable price so I don’t have to manage and pay 5 different accounts.

      Same. I’ll continue to use Bitwarden. I think it’s good to have other open-source options out there, though. Proton Pass is definitely prettier and will appeal to some people that care more about the aesthetics.

    Has anyone tried it yet? Two downsides for me:

    • there’s no desktop app
    • there’s no Safari desktop extension (I know most people don’t care about this)

    It’s also more expensive than Bitwarden even at €1/mth

    I’m pretty sure the app is great, but I am not a fan of putting all my eggs in the same basket. I will keep using Bitwarden for the time being.

      Same here. I’m fine using Proton for my mail & drive, but I also like keeping my passwords separate in bitwarden, and my 2fa separate in my raivo. A healthy separation is good.

    Great that it has an email alias feature built in. But I use 1Password and to me it’s been so great that it’d be really hard to convince me switching to something else.

        Yeah, but with Proton, the email service is built-in, while BitWarden relies on an external service (say a domain you use for catch-all).

            It’s great that Bitwarden integrates with other services. It’s just very convenient to have it completely built in, especially for inexperienced users. You don’t need to do any setup, and if the password manager is smart enough to suggest using an alias automatically when a registration requires an email address, it’s a no-brainer.

              How many inexperienced users are using a password manager with an email aliasing service?

    Been using Bitwarden for a few years now, but this one looks tempting. I suppose it has better UI and integrated 2FA sounds nice. Also I’m already a Proton Mail subscriber, so it could be nice addition to the ecosystem.

      It doesn’t have feature parity (yet?). If you’re happy with Bitwarden, I’d stick with it.
