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.
I tried protonmail not for the privacy purpose but just to have a normal web email client.
After wasting an hour before finding out you can’t disable the “sent from protonmail” footer without manually deleting it in each draft you make, I said screw it and deployed my own email server with stalwart lol.
It’s receive only because outgoing SMTP is a pain to make reliable these days and my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP anyway, but for everything else I now use Thunderbird.
What do you mean? It’s a slider setting you can thurn on or off individually for each address (if you want to keep it one one but not others). It’s under identity and addresses.
It moght have changed but there is a setting for it now.
Pretty annoying that I’m just learning setting no signature did nothing since they added a second signature option tfor when sending from mobile and enabled it by default.
I have always hated this, the signature settings need to be unified. Why would I ever want a different signature to alert people that I am on my phome. Gmail allows ios to match their web signature but not android.

KeepassXC + Syncthing has worked fine for me for a few years. Sure, it’s a bit of a hassle and not exactly perfect, but nothing is. I have control over my data and I don’t have to pay anyone anything, that’s enough for me.
Also, tasty entrees 🤤
If you don’t host your own data, you don’t own it.
🫡
Download BitWarden and be done with it.
If you can, just self-host vault warden (compatible with bit warden and supported). Gets your data out of the cloud entirely.
I’m with you, but the hosted subscription is miles more secure than I can make my installation, and at $10 per year probably cheaper than the electricity to self host. Plus it supports the devs.
But I do make regular backups in case I need to migrate.
I think their prices have increased, but it’s still a good deal
Giving money to yanks though
Why are you suggesting self hosting vaultwarden instead of self hosting bitwarden?
It’s much lighter on the resources while having the exact same functionality.
Bitwarden doesn’t do any of the stuff that makes proton pass extremely usable. You can’t easily manage logins and create them on the fly with custom emails in bit/vaultwarden. That is by far the most valuable feature of proton pass IMO, the seamless integration with simplelogin is just so damn convenient.
Bitwarden has an integration with simplelogin too. Enter an api key and it can generate random aliases on the fly.
Where? I can’t seem to find that option anywhere in my bitwarden app
Edit: NVM found it, it’s just hidden by several clicks before it’s an option.
You can even self host it… And easily export your data from their hosted solution to your own.
But I don’t understand, we’re you already a premium member when you where prompted to pay more?
Dude, jfc calm down. You pay a little money to get premium services, instead of them monetizing user data. This is the way the world works with paid software, except they’re not making money on your data and you, just you.
Maybe some context in what exactly you pay for would help too. I’m assuming you pay for a base tier of mail, bc I use their password manager too but pay for the full suite, and don’t have this issue.
Maybe also a chat with support might find this to be an unexpected bug, but instead you’re coming to Lemmy to the echo chamber of hate on proton which won’t help.
I won’t say your wrong, but IMHO it’s unacceptable for a password manager to not warn you that information you give will be inaccessible without paying more money. Imagine if someone gave you 30 free entries before requiring a subscription, but let you add any number of accounts. Unless you want to reset all those passwords, your forced to pay them.
It is a shakedown to accept your data for free then charge you to access it later.
What the fuck else would you call that?
It kind of sounds like OP tried to circumvent limitations in the free tier by formatting the available field in a certain way, but this then got caught by proton and then stored “correctly”, which is in a way that requires the paid tier.
Their data should have been grandfathered in rather than locked out. Premium is a ransom with the lock out model
but instead you’re coming to Lemmy to the echo chamber of hate on proton which won’t help
You call it an echo chamber, others call it having some standards on how much your software should be taking advantage of you instead of the other way around.
You have to admit, there are plenty of people either on Reddit (especially) or Lemmy, that seem to crack on/bash on certain companies or views on topics as a heard mentality. I’m guilty of it in the past bc I wanted to trust the heard, but after doing my own research have found whatever it was to not be so bad.
I’ve not been here long, but man, the amount of hate I’ve seen towards proton so far is crazy.
shaken down by Proton to pay even more money
What are you paying for currently?
Howdy. For the clarity of users such as myself, can you please clarify which “Proton” you’re referring to.
Bummer.
Eh. I am very happy with thwir service, but I didn’t opt for the free tier. It has replaced my old VPN service provider, 1Password, google’s 2FA, Google Drive, and the office suite is useful.
Since i was paying for other services that offered no privacy, switching to a single paid service with privacy ended up saving me money, so no complaints.
I too am happy. i migrated from Firefox password manager, google mail, Cisco duo (kill it with fire please for the love of Turing and Tesla), and several other services. the only thing they don’t have that I really want at the moment is collaborative document editing but I’m pretty sure that’s on the docket of “things to add”.

Obviously you’re free to do as you please and its not an airport, you don’t have to announce your departure. But there’s no such thing as free service. Posting angry tirades seems counter productive.
I’d recommend self-hosting. Then you don’t have to worry about privacy, getting data hijacked or getting ripped off by sudden cost increases.
There’s no “there’s no such thing as free service”, and there’s “we are going to hold your data hostage until you pay”. This is the second, and unless they give you a way to export the fields, it’s a violation of GDPR article 20.
What tier do you pay for now? Did you ever downgrade your tier?
I got my mom on Bitwarden because I figured it would be easier for her than KeePass (which is what I use synced to my Nextcloud) and it turns out Bitwarden does the same thing. If you want to create “custom” attributes for an entry like your security questions, attach a screenshot, etc., you have to either pay or self-host.
Custom fields can be added without premium.
