Pass isn‘t yet polished and there are bugs here and there showing up. Also the AutoFill doesn‘t work 100% of the time. And there are features missing like e.g. being able to upload attachements.

Considering the age of Pass vs 1Password, there is way to go for Pass. I made the switch, nevertheless, and once I got used to Pass, it‘s not that bad from my Point of view.

Surely the „create Alias‘ on the fly“ is a big plus, ehich I absolutely love and wouldn‘t want to miss anymore

tbh I just worked around it (like e.g. with Notes or with uploading the files to drive and just have a link in my Pass to it). I'm pretty happy with Pass, even though it misses some features (of which some will be added in the future for sure). Since I was using other Proton Apps before already it was kind of a no-brainer for me and once I got used to (and accepted that I might be kind of an early adopter) I never looked back.

It‘s e2ee and open source, so I‘d be not concerned regarding Proton‘s side.

Keep your Account safe, your passwords long and complex and use 2FA sort of things and you should be fine, I‘d say

I have nothing else to ask in this community..... how did I get here? 🤔 (upload.wikimedia.org)

For the past year, I’ve been immersed in the topic of Privacy. I switched to Linux, flashed my phone to LineageOS, changed all my software to one that respects privacy, switched my family and most* friends to Signal, started hating megacorporations and pretty much every government in the world, asked a lot of questions on...

Everything makes sense to me now. I’m a privacy guru. How to move on? What’s the next step? 😁

idk about Skiff, but Proton also tells to e2ee mails to/from outside if they‘re using PGP…

D‘you have any source for that? Sounds kinda way too good somehow for me ^^

Didn‘t knew that exists, awesome. Checking it out for sure :)

You had to dig deep to get a news from 2021. and still, private doesn‘t mean anonymous, idk why everyone relates the both.
And still, no news here, Proton explained this case several times and they‘ve been pretty transparent.

let me quote from reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/15luwua/comment/jvd0fz9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3):

The article doesn't link the original court filing or discuss what actually happened, and from the title alone, is rather misleading.

The actual warrant can be found here and has the important missing details: https://drive.proton.me/urls/57QC5F26BW#nseYl6ICaQHm

The only data we could provide (in response to a binding Swiss legal order), was the user's recovery email address, which the user added himself, and is optional to begin with.

Unfortunately, said user also used that recovery address to create a Twitter account, and Twitter turned over his phone number and IP address. So probably not the smartest move if you want to threaten public officials.

Coincidentally, this case again proves that Proton Mail's encryption cannot be bypassed by law enforcement.

and the other one regarding the clima activist:

can you elaborate?

agreed on that, but I think, before that would be, don't try to threaten ppl on the internet and don't expect to be anonymous by just using a private service. I mean, the mail might be encrypted, but the recipient gets it, can read it and can show it to anyone else.
still: private ≠ anonymous

@protonmail
idk what happened today, but seeing Pass repeatedly saying my Vault would be empty, made me like 20 years older.
Fortunately it works again now, but I definitely lost a few hairs today...
(And yes, I did report it…)

Thinking about starting over there… will the instance stay after the release? Or should I better wait until custom instances are available on the app?

Mhh that sounds promising ^^

the Cert just confirms, that the domain your accessing is belonging to who owns it. When you signup for a cert at LetsEncrypt, you have to run a script on the source, which confirms as your domain.
You wouldn't be able to get a Cert for e.g. amazon.com - because you wouldn't be able to run that specific script on the source and so LetsEncrypt couldn't confirm if that domain really is yours or not. And that's as well the reason, why not trust everyone,

According to their video and the information on their site, yes (https://youtu.be/QS7aW64VSe8)

I use it since 2016, but with my own domain, so can't really speak for the "@ proton" domains
But I never had trouble accessing it in a foreign country, it worked flawless

can recommend, fell in love with the app instantly.
Thanks and keep up the good work!

compared to gmail, both are more then viable options and it depends on personal preferences. Personally I chose Proton and I am very happy with it.

message people I know who use Gmail securely

don't know how that should work, but ok...

Varen,
Varen avatar

True.
Then with Proton (idk about tutanota) you should be able to mail E2EE with them, since you can import their Public Keys into Proton. It's not just "E2EE Proton2Proton", since Proton uses PGP, you can safely mail E2EE with anyone using PGP.
