from the team: ------ Hi everyone, In Proton's 2024 user survey, it seems like AI usage among the Proton community has now exceeded 50% (it's at 54% to be exact). It's 72% if we also count people who are interested in using AI. Rather than have people use tools like ChatGPT which are horrible for privacy, we're bridging the gap with Proton Scribe, a privacy-first writing assistant that is built into Proton Mail. Proton Scribe allows you to generate email drafts based on a prompt and refine with options like shorten, proofread and formalize. **A privacy-first writing assistant** Proton Scribe is a privacy-first take on AI, meaning that it: * Can be run locally, so your data never leaves your device. * Does not log or save any of the prompts you input. * Does not use any of your data for training purposes. * Is open source, so anyone can inspect and trust the code. Basically, it's the privacy-first AI tool that we wish existed, but doesn't exist, so we built it ourselves. Scribe is not a partnership with a third-party AI firm, it's developed, run and operated directly by us, based off of open source technologies. **Available now for Visionary, Lifetime, and Business plans** Proton Scribe is available as a paid add-on for business plans, and teams can try it for free. It's also included for free to all of our legacy Proton Visionary and Lifetime plan subscribers. Learn more about Proton Scribe on our blog: https://proton.me/blog/proton-scribe-writing-assistant As always, if you have thoughts and comments, let us know. Proton Team

from the team: --------- Hi everyone, We heard your feedback, and we're happy to announce that you can now secure your Proton Pass with an extra password in addition to your existing Proton account password. Thank you to our Visionary members who already had a chance to check out this feature! All Proton Accounts are already secured with strong, robust encryption, but our optional extra password feature allows you to compartmentalize your Proton Pass account. It lets you create an extra password you must enter before you can access your logins and other sensitive information in Pass. With the extra password enabled, even if an attacker gets a hold of the password to your Proton Account, they cannot access your Pass account unless they also know your extra password. Be sure to store your extra password securely! This feature is rolling out today for all Lifetime plans, followed by a staged release for Unlimited plans, and available to everyone else over the coming days: [https://proton.me/support/pass-extra-password](https://proton.me/support/pass-extra-password) Let us know what you think!

- Proton VPN doesn't use RAM-only servers, arguing they offer no additional security over full-disk encryption on hard drives. - Full-disk encryption ensures data on hard drives is secure and inaccessible without proper authentication, even when servers are powered off. - Proton VPN prioritizes a strict no-logs policy, independent audits, and operating servers in privacy-friendly jurisdictions to protect user privacy.

Proton Calendar Android - No multi-account support
Hello! As per the title, Proton Calendar for Android does not appear to support multiple signed in accounts. This means I can only get notifications for personal appointments or client meetings, but not both, and the web version never prompts to enable notifications on Android. I am thus liable to miss events on whichever calendar I am not currently signed into. This is not an acceptable level of support for a professional suite. Is there a roadmap for when this feature will be added?

Help migrating from Google photos to Proton
I'm currently in the middle of moving all of my photos, but I have a couple of issues that have come up. - The first one has to do with metadata.When I replaced my phone recently, all the photo files were marked as "created" on the same day. They still show in the correct order by datestamp in Google Photos, but everything older than last April is just an undifferentiated mess. Is there a way to get them back in the right order? - I have thousands of photos. Is there a way to easily see the total number in both Google and Proton to compare that everything is indeed backed up? - There does not seem to be a way to jump to a particular date in Proton, which makes it arduous to find any photos, even if they were in the right order. Is there something I am missing? Is this feature coming? These issues prevent me from being able to complete the switch. Can anyone help?

Looking for a way to get automatic calendar event creation from email
This is a feature that I miss, along with attachments on calendar events. I was thinking of building something myself using NLP and NER to read an email and extract calendar details from it, but I'd need access to an API to be able to do that and the API is no longer public.

Photo share by default?
This might sound antithetical to the privacy-by-default standard, but my wife and I currently share our photo rolls with each other (using Google Photos)--everything we take is automatically shared with the other. Is there anything in Proton Drive/Photos that would allow this? Even if it's only available within a family plan or something. I know that with Drive, we could share a directory and everything in that would be available to the other, but I don't see this as an option in the photos. Alternatively, I suppose we could both sign in to Proton Drive using a third account just for that purpose, but that's less ideal.

Proton mail android: Inline attachments + Seeing / removing existing attachments
On Android, I noticed two major features that are missing that make it extremely difficult to use the mobile version for me: 1. I can't add inline attachments. This makes communicating with clients and pointing at stuff impossible on mobile. 2. I can't browse existing attachments to view and remove them. This means I have to start my reply all over again and delete the draft if I uploaded the wrong thing, and I can't validate that I did upload the right thing. Also, pasting into a message body is broken on the beta, but working on stable (the only option is "select all") There's also no rich text, which is sometimes painful when writing long emails on the go, and it means I can't bold stuff to indicate importance. I also had issues with sent emails from drafts where a draft was created on mobile, finished on the web and sent, the mobile client will show as if I had sent the unfinished mobile draft, which sent me into a panic last night haha.

Proton VPN: Free servers in 5 more countries holding elections in 2024
from the team: -------- Hi everyone, This year, over 60 countries — home to half of the world's population — will hold national elections. As we've seen time and time again, VPNs have proven effective anti-censorship tools, allowing people to find trustworthy news sources and access obstructed content. To ensure people can access accurate information before they cast their vote, we have decided to provide free Proton VPN servers in countries with a history of censorship or political interference in the weeks leading up to the elections: https://protonvpn.com/blog/free-servers-before-elections. Today, we’re expanding this list to 5 more countries. The servers will be switched from paid to free for the period of the election. **List of countries holding elections this year where Proton VPN will provide free servers:** - Rwanda - Syria (newly added) - Venezuela - Algeria - Jordan (newly added) - Brazil (newly added) - Mozambique - Somaliland - Mauritius - Uzbekistan (newly added) - Sri Lanka - Tunisia (newly added) **List of countries that already held elections (or are about to hold them), where Proton VPN provided free servers:** - Cambodia - Indonesia - Pakistan - Senegal - Turkey - Togo - Chad - Mauritania (free servers currently available) Since we launched Proton VPN Observatory, we have documented [spikes in Proton VPN signups](https://protonvpn.com/internet-censorship-observatory/2024) in real-time (most recently in Kenya), making it an effective measurement of anti-censorship activity in response to various crises worldwide. We believe this, along with expanding our server infrastructure to include over 6,000 servers in close to 100 countries and making Proton VPN more accessible to users globally, will help make the use of the internet more free and unrestricted globally. Thank you for your support, The Proton Team

Firefox vs ProtonPass as a password manager (pros and cons)
# 3 password managers at same time 🧐 : My older version of a **Firefox** browser remember most of my passwords (I am ok how it works), but some important passwords are also stored in **KEEpass** and not in Firefox. Then there is a **ProtonPass** which can import both Firefox CSV and KeePass XML. **Problem with import and synchronization of these managers** is that the 1. Pass is not made to deduplicate the imported data (some imported logins may already be in vaults), which requires user to delete Pass logins prior importing a .csv file (importing because file contains more up to date logins). 2. import does not contain 2FA secrets nor aliases (aliases deleted in Pass can not be restored into Pass at the time of writing - June 2024). # Firefox and Proton Pass - PROS and CONS (as of June 2024): **Quality of suggested logins:** ⛔️ Firefox (old ver.) suggests all passwords saved across whole website incl. its subdomains which is messy ✅ Pass: suggests only passwords for a present page (not subdomains) = good ⛔️ Pass: does not automaticaly complete/suggest login when typing into username field and the list of saved logins is not alphabetically sorted by the username. **Speed:** ✅ Firefox: shows saved logins instantly ⛔️ Pass: 1 second delay of a Proton Pass drop down menu with login username suggestions comparing to Firefox which loads immediately and gives impression that it loads even before login page finished loading. Both password managers loads at same time on user mouse click into the login field. Delay of a ProtonPass happens only when the suggestion menu should appear automatically upon loading a login page. **Registration form suggestions:** ✅ Firefox: suggests previously used usernames/emails when typing, which is fine 🆗 Pass: does suggest anything when i type, as already mentioned. When I click, it suggests main ProtonMail address and allows generating unique alias which is very important key feature 🆗 Pass: password generating box shows non-important confirmation of a successfully copied password, which hides after like 2 seconds, making impossible to read the next form field during that time, which is annoying. **Login form suggestions:** ⛔️ Pass: does not offer any login suggestion on a Basic HTTP Auth (.htaccess password protection of a directory) forms (popup) of mine (site: ILF admin, C*A/my) **Other:** ⛔️ Pass: in Firefox i think it sometimes gets logged out requring to spend time re-login which may require 2FA auth from other device or other password manager. ✅ Pass: editing, grouping of passwords seems a bit better than Firefox ✅ Pass: Integrated 2FA ✅ Pass: Pass monitor in paid plan, password strength/leak indication # PROS vs CONS. What to do? ProtonPass is a bit slower than Firefox, yet it has its advantages - email alias generating, 2FA.... SimpleLogin browser extension can be used for Proton aliases and if you do not need 2FA, it may be easier to stay with just Firefox, which is enough safe manager since I am already making backups of a Firefox (incl. passwords - which are also synced E2EE to the Mozilla cloud https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sync#w_is-it-secure). Other option is to use Pass only for aliases and 2FA and inside its General settings, disable passwords saving and filling, letting Firefox do this job. Third manager (for example KeePassXC) can serve as a backup, it can also import exports of Pass and Firefox. I guess it would be good to backup any password manager (incl. Pass) data regularly on schedule. What are your suggestions/feedback regarding this?

Pass in Firefox fails to close the email/password suggestion box when clicking the field one more time, can you reproduce?
Firefox 115.12.0esr with Pass 1.17.4 On various pages including https://lemmy.ml/signup when I click 1st time into a email or password field, Pass shows a "suggestion" box, when I click one more time into that form field, the box now fails to hide even i click outside of it. Workaround is to click into different form field. Anyone is experiencing the same? On which platform/pass version?

Importing Proton Pass 1.17.5 .CSV export file into older Firefox 115.12.0esr (64-bit) and back - kind of synchronization
**Summary:** I wanted to see if I can synchronize Firefox and ProtonPass passwords. It works more or less. One just need to pay attention to using only one or another for saving passwords and if later wanted to switch, just delete outdated app passwords database and import other app passwords. NOTE: If you choose to delete ProtonPass logins and import 3rd party logins, it will possibly NOT import your 2FA secret and aliases (you would have to move these to a separate vault before deleting everything else! **Here is exactly written on what i did and what I have faced in July 2024** (maybe later version of the Proton Pass will work better). After backing up Firefox browser data/profile and exporting its passwords at "about:logins" page (three dots in the top corner), i have deleted all Firefox passwords (from same three dots menu). Then enabled Firefox passwords import (there were no import entry in that three dots menu) by going to "about:config" and searching for "signon.management.page.fileImport.enabled" double-clicking "false" to set it to "true". Reloaded "about:logins" page and then again using three dots menu imported the .csv export file made by the Proton Pass. Result: ``` New logins added: 1,808 Existing logins updated: 0 Duplicate logins found: 28 (not imported) Errors: 12 (not imported) ``` Under details, i could see which rows was problematic (only problem type was "Missing url") and after opening .csv file in a Calc editor i could see that the problematic rows were indeed "missing url" (or anything) in "url" row but the "name" field had the domain name. The problematic rows were almost exclusively Proton aliases (and these does not need any fixing and their later import into Proton Pass failed anyway - in the current version of the Pass that I have used), yet not knowing that at the moment, I have fixed all rows with missing url by copying name into url and prefixing with https:// using Linux command: `awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","} $3=="" {$3="https://" $2} 1' "input.csv" > output_tmp && mv output_tmp "output.csv"` For Windows, this may work: `for /f "tokens=1-7 delims=," %a in (input.csv) do @echo %a,%b,%c,%d,%e,%f,%g,%h,%i >> output_tmp && move /y output_tmp output.csv` Upon import of the fixed file, there was same number of errors and this time it was "Missing password". I did insert a random passwords by modifying previous command like this: `awk 'BEGIN{FS=OFS=","} $5=="" {$5="ng21@Ak" $9} 1' "input.csv" > tmp && mv tmp "output.csv"` .csv file can be opened inside LibreOffice Calc (or other table processor), where it is visible in easy to read format. So after all, import from Proton Pass using .csv file was successful (despite a few harmless errors). **Opposite direction - synchronizing from Firefox to ProtonPass** may be problematic. At least in my case was. Because Proton Pass did not delete any duplicates. So if Proton Pass is outdated and Firefox has all ProtonPass items(logins) + new items, it can be done as follows, yet please note that deleting Pass logins and importing 3rd party app logins (Firefox) will possibly not import 2FA settings, so if you are using 2FA, make sure you save private keys so you can setup it again later - keys are visible when editing login with 2FA): Export Proton Pass for backup purpose. Create new vault and move to it all email aliases (meaning aliases not regular logins). Delete vault with logins and create new one and fill it with Firefox .csv file.
