From that perspective, we would prefer to focus efforts on securing the Proton account as much as possible. There are two actions the user can already take.
First, enabling 2FA will take the risk of compromise down to almost zero (our data on compromised accounts supports this also).
Proton Sentinel also helps to protect against account takeovers even when an attacker has stolen your password: https://proton.me/blog/sentinel-high-security-program https://proton.me/blog/sentinel-high-security-program
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoThis doesn’t seem like a response to the point that was being made. This feels like an AI-generated comment.
- protonprivacy 2y agoHi there, this is not an AI generated response. We are replying to the comment on attack surfaces, and how our focus is on securing a single Proton account by enabling 2FA and Proton Sentinel rather having to manage security for multiple accounts.
- j-bos 2y agoPlease speak to your superiors and let them know that this corporate style rings poorly on hackernews. See if they can at least let you speak more personally, less press release. It may go a long way towards improving perceptions here. Or at least credibility.
- unethical_ban 2y agoI'll cut the corporate account some slack; the parent commenter's criticism is sarcastic and a straw man. I got the point of the proton account politely saying "we secure the account holistically and having an additional product is not an expansion of attack surface".
