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.
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.
