@phenomlab youād hope theyād give their best speeds but weāll wait and see. Coverage should be better at least, not that thereās anything wrong with it but Iād expect more 5G coverage over time.
Proton launch password manager
-
Proton have launched a password manager if anyone is interested.
Itās only launched today, so Iāve began testingā¦ So far so good.
-
@JAC Wow - this does look good actually. Price is very appealing.

-
@phenomlab I think Iām paying around Ā£10.99 for the month.
This includes VPN, Drive (50gb of storage), Mail, Calender and now pass manager.
-
@JAC Thatās pretty reasonable actually. Iām using Bitwarden myself, which is around $10/year.
-
@phenomlab itās not bad at all.
A great price for yours too mate .I guess all are similar but I do trust Proton so Iām happy to use their suite of products, it appears to be developing all the time.
-
And bitwarden can be self hosted
Iām now on KeepassXC bcause itās free and without cloud account.
-

Yes, correct.

Yes, looks good (albeit a little on the basic side, but who needs bells and whistles for password management?)
-
I use proton pass and actually purchased the whole suite and am slowly getting my emails switched over. Their vpn works great as well. I like how they have their clients for each application so you donāt have to go to the web browser every time. Especially for email and such.
I recommend it
-
@Madchatthew I too have continued to use their suite of products, they are developing them all the time and listening the customers feedback and acting on it which is refreshing to see.
Canāt say Iāve ever had any major issues with them, definitely recommend!
-
@Madchatthew @JAC I have to be honest, Iāve been looking at their product suite also, although as I have multiple domains, it works out a bit expensive overall - ideally, Iād want the below package because even the Mail Plus offering is too restricted.
-
@JAC I havenāt had any issues with their products either. I like how they implemented their password manager into the web browser as well.
-
@phenomlab that is the plan I chose. I am not sure how much it costs for additional web domains though. I donāt have a lot, but I can imagine the more you have the more money it will cost. I like with the email, they have it build in where you can create a fake email address and have it go to your real email, but your real email is protected and if you start getting spam you can delete that fake email and boom -> no more spam from that site.
-
@Madchatthew You get the same with most password managers to be fair - I use Bit Warden and wouldnāt be without it.
-
@Madchatthew This is ever more appealing to be honest. Whilst I have several domains, and it would be nice to protect them all in the same way, I think perhaps Iād only target the obvious ones (such as sudonix.org and probably phenomlab.com) that I use constantly. I am tempted. I like the product very much and having worked for a Swiss firm in the 90ās -> early 2000ās, I can certainly agree that their take on privacy is unparalleled.
-
@phenomlab That is one of the reasons I decided to switch to Proton. After doing a bunch of research and their take on privacy, it really appealed to me. Especially in this day and age where it seems like everyone and their mother and grandmother are trying to get at your information and companies like MS, Apple, Google and many others are just basically gathering your information and making money off of you.
Another thing I like about the Proton company is that they will adjust their pricing and features that are free based on how much money has been generated throughs subscriptions and donations.
-
@Madchatthew For the VPN side of things, I personally favour NordVPN as @JAC knows - I also have a referral code for anyone who wants to subscribe and save themselves some money.
NordVPN has a Smart DNS feature which is useful for Smart TVās where you cannot install a VPN for example to watch content outside of your own jurisdiction, and their servers are RAM only meaning that nothing is being written to disk in terms of transactions. NordVPNās speeds are inherently faster than Proton also

@phenomlab I had NordVPN and it worked great. I just switched to proton because it is a part of their software suite and included in the unlimited package and such.
-
@Madchatthew you have the unlimited package?
-
@phenomlab I do. It comes with extras for each of the apps. It would be nice if the proton drive space was more, but it is better than nothing.
-
@Madchatthew I upgraded to the family plan, the Wife is using it too, I think itās 500gb of space and you can up it / share it across 6 members.
