I’m feeling you! That’s the same reason I’m looking for a alternative.


This is actually really good of them to realize that there is a market for another, separate, 2FA app to be honest. I don’t trust or like Google nor Microsoft. Authy is crap and going down the drain.

Using 2FAS now but not really feeling it.

If I could self host this and have redundancy/offsite backups I would probably move to this separate solution (Outside of regular Bitwarden).

Keeping the passwords and 2fa tokens in the same app is like writing the password on a post-it underneath the keyboard.


Weird. This occurred for me for about two weeks then vanished itself.

Support eventually got back to me but by then it was working again.

Their suggestion below if someone encounters the same again:

  • Launch the application
  • Click the “Help” category from the menu
  • Click “Clear application data” and submit
  • Restart your system

Afterward, launch the application again and let us know if the issues persist.

If issue persists, please try to perform a clean reinstall. In order to do that:

  • Navigate to macOS System preferences -> Network -> select the Proton VPN profile and then click on the “-” minus sign to remove it
  • Download the uninstaller: https://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/
  • Install and open it
  • Find the Proton VPN application on your device
  • Drag and drop the Proton VPN application to the app cleaner
  • Once it is deleted, clear your trash bin
  • Download the latest Proton VPN application version through the following link: https://protonvpn.com/download-macos

I’m on 2023 M2 Mini and 14.2.1. Opened a support ticket the other day but support is more and more a waiting game nowadays sadly.

Was working flawlessly previously but it started a while back, perhaps with the .1 Macos version?


ProtonVPN on MacOS
Is there anybody else experiencing that they are forced to relogin (enter credentials) for the ProtonVPN app on MacOS each time it has entered power save mode/been in standby? Extremely annoying.
