FYI - Your two primary alternatives are LastPass and 1Password. The former of which is melting down due to security flaws, and the latter has raised roughly $1B in VC money:

At a certain point, you just have to live your life. To accept that products you use might change in the future, and you might need to migrate to something else down the road.
The alternative is just keep something like KeePass around on a thumb drive, and forgo all the cloud sync, and browser and native app autocomplete integration. But those things are really the main point to all these products. Without that, I would argue that you're better off with a pad of paper in your desk drawer.
- mptest 3y agoI've found ProtonPass to be useful. Depending on how you feel about the proton ecosystem. I don't know how much VC money they've taken though.
- tristan957 3y agoI use Proton for everything, but until they have a ProtonPass CLI, it is a non-starter for me. I want CLI access for my terminal email client.
- protonmail 3y agoIf you look at the total financial means Proton has spent to develop and grow, >98% came from the community, making VC funding less than 2%. In fact, the total amount of VC money is actually even less than the money we have given away in various donations (you can learn more about those here: https://proton.me/blog/2022-lifetime-fundraiser-results https://proton.me/blog/2022-lifetime-fundraiser-results).
- mptest 3y agoHoly crap! Never been so excited at a corporate account reply! Love your products. Love your philosophy. Great to know about limited VC funding! Thanks for the info. Now I can add Non Vc Funded TM to my list of endorsements for your services.
