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.

    Howdy. For the clarity of users such as myself, can you please clarify which “Proton” you’re referring to.

          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”.
