Seems like if ProtonMail can encrypt them automatically, then they can potentially be decrypted by someone at ProtonMail.
Reasoning:
Are emails automatically encrypted with a hash of the user password when they are received?
If the user forgets the password, how do password resets work?
Are the emails before the password reset "lost", or does ProtonMail keep a copy of the hashed password (which I suppose would be needed to log in with in the first place) to unencrypt the older emails, and re-encrypt with the newer password?
- int_19h 7y agoYes, you lose your old emails if you reset password on ProtonMail.
- EduardoBautista 7y agoThey are not encrypted using the user's password. They are encrypted using a standard PGP public key.
