It’s legit. The negative comments are because the CEO supports US Republican politicians which is a red flag, but there haven’t been any operational reasons to not trust them that I’m aware of.
Just like Tesla. Its AOKAY to jump into a new company even if the CEO is a crazy racist.

I don’t think there’s any evidence he’s a crazy racist that we know of.

I've been meaning to get rid of Google Authenticator. Think I'm gunna go do that today.
Consider Aegis if you want an offline and secure alternative.

Yeah, I also was disappointed that proton wallet was for crypto and not credit cards. Unless someone can recommend an alternative to Google wallet, preferably from F-Droid
Same, if they made a wallet for cards then I'd actually use my phone to pay for stuff

BitWarden is F(antastic)OSS.
2fa only for paying customers, no?
I mean, I pay because it's dirt cheap for tge convenience they offer but still no free 2fa -

Aren't all 2FA apps offline compatible?

Should be, but not all of them allow you to opt-out of cloud sync.

Proton does this as well, you can use it completely offline without an account

Good to hear. I'll try it once it is on fdroid

Doesn't support republican politicians. Congratulated the anti-big-tech appointment by a republican politician (Trump).
Which then turned out to be not exactly true.

Aegis ia even better

since bitwarden is selfhostable there are public instances like there are lemmy instances and they have free bitwarden premium features the ones i know of is tchncs.de and adminforge.de
As if I would use a 3rd party to host my bitwarden data.
Eitger 1st party or selfhost. But some unknown 3rd party? Way too risky.

(And Aegis has amazing backup features like backup after changes to accounts.)

Can you export accounts in (encrypted) json?

Hmm... I'm not sure about having an authenticator app on a desktop computer.
Like you are putting all your eggs in one basket. Password managers, and your emails already go to one place for authentication. Adding an authenticator means if your computer is compromised, a person can have access to more accounts.
I always figured this is why desktop authenticator apps aren't a thing.
No company phone = Me using a desktop app for work related 2FA.
Not my problem.

Google Wallet is not so much a "wallet" for your cards but a way to link your cards to their own payment service, Google Pay.
Both Apple and Google had a lot of problems convincing banks to accept their respective services, and even then many stores still don't support this payment method. A company with the clout and size of Proton has no chance to get their own service widely accepted.

Ehm… you guys know that behind all major VPN companies there’s the isræli government right?
Okay. proceeds to check article
Kape Technologies
This is why you research the VPN provider prior to making your purchase, read their privacy policies, their EULA, their TOS, the companies history.
If it reads like the Bible skip over it.
ProtonVPN, iVPN and Mullvad have no association with this article whatsoever.
No, Proton specifically has no confirmed association, I agree. So I trust them? No.
I see too many signs, too many people recommending it online, too many all-connected services. For me, this is a recipe for disaster and I’m not here to be lied to my face again.Not the first time for the very neutral state
According to a Swiss parliamentary investigation, "Swiss intelligence service were aware of and benefited from the Zug-based firm Crypto AG’s involvement in the US-led spying".
On a related note, we have also had people ask us about Proton Mail’s official position regarding the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict and whether working with an Israeli company means we are taking sides in this conflict. The answer is NO. As a Swiss company, we adhere to a policy of strict neutrality
I don’t know about you guys but this
is enough for me. -
This is a more welcome addition than that stupid AI chatbot slop machine.
But I would still like to see them release Proton Drive for Linux already.
I wouldn't mind not having a native Linux drive client if they didn't block rsync, which used to work, and now does not. What a stupid decision.
