I’ve been using Proton pass for about a week and it’s okay so far.
Importing passwords from another manager is pretty easy, except that it can only be done from the browser extension. I had to dig out my laptop to import my passwords which was kind of annoying since I rarely use it.
Proton Pass also doesn’t work great on mobile, it rarely recongnizes username fields in my browser. This means I have to manually copy/paste my username and password from the app to the browser to login, which is annoying.
I really like that Pass automatically generates a private email address for each website, but I’m not sure how useful that is in terms of privacy because I still have to get things shipped with my real name and address.
Another nitpick I have is using the same password for my email to also secure all of my passwords and generate my TOTP for 2FA. If my Proton password gets compromised then all of my passwords, my 2FA, and my email are compromised. Seems like a pretty serious security risk, but I’d really appreciate it if someone who knows more about security could explain to me why this is actually okay.
