For context, in my password manager I had tried formatting some of my entrees so that it would contain the usual username and password, but instead of creating whole new entrees for the security questions for the same account, I just added additional fields in the same entree in order to keep things a little more tidy.
I was not expecting that doing so would result in later being shaken down by Proton to pay even more money just to access the same few bytes of fucking text I had trusted them with. This is sleazy as fuck and I am dropping these idiots entirely.
Ok, thank you. A sensible response.
I think their appeal and approach is to target newbies to the whole privacy thing. They can replace much of the “Gooplesoft” ecosystems (just made that up that word lol) with their own version, offer support for those who’re learning/trucks migrating, etc. Maybe they overheard someone talk about it, are curious, or don’t know all the terminology in the FOSS community, or get overwhelmed easily.
I will forever plug Proton (unless they change) to friends and family as it’s a “big name” doing big tech, better… then they have proton support to rely on, not me lol.
