Is there one way to keep your email address hidden on the proton drive mobile app and web app.

Hello, I made a proton mail account on my work computer for work. Seeing how great it is I wanted to sign up for the password manager for my personal use with the ultimate goal of getting the family plan and mover over my domain and parents from gmail and 3rd party vpn to proton. It rejects my account creation and support says there's nothing they can do. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey there Proton community! I wanted to know the best and easiest way to get ProtonVPN working on the Steam Deck. I have very little knowledge of Linux, so I'm looking for someone to help me.

The link right here goes to 40:02 of Proton' boss on the TLE channel about Linux support, where a Drive Client is deemed so difficult to achieve that they don't even have a roadmap for it. Nor is the word "Linux" featured anywhere on proton's pages about Drive.

coughdropboxcough

If I believe what I see on Lemmy, 99% of users here are on Linux, and the 1% remaining probably are just waiting on a Drive Linux Client to make the switch, right? Right?

Please take the survey and maybe mention politely our deep sorrow and profound distress.

Let's go! Thanks!

Earlier today I received an email from Proton with an annual survey. Among standard questions there was a significant amount of AI related questions, e.g. mail assistant. Does it mean Proton is looking into AI?

[Feature Request] Vote for a Proton VPN App for Ubuntu Touch on ProtonMail’s UserVoice Forum

Hi everyone,

We’re back with the most popular blogs from last month:

💜 We have joined forces with r/StandardNotes! In the coming months, we hope to find ways to make Standard Notes more easily accessible to the Proton community.

🎭 In case you missed it, Proton now alerts you if an online service you’re registered for with a Proton Mail address has had a data breach or has been hacked. In the meantime, in early May, we have also implemented a similar service for your Proton Pass aliases and passwords.

🔑 Speaking of passwords, passkeys have remained a big topic: we’ve discussed the Big Tech’s implementation of them, as well as whether they’ll completely replace passwords in the future.

As usual, you were interested in practical matters too, like: 📱 how to create an email account without the phone number verification, 💧 what to do if your data leaks, and 🧩 how to protect yourself from social engineering.

We’ve also analyzed several services’ privacy practices closely. You have been most interested in how Whatsapp treats your photos, and the security of Google Chrome’s password manager and iCloud Keychain.

We’ll keep rounding up top blog articles each month for you to make sure you’re all caught up on the latest news and tips. You can follow our blog here (we have an RSS feed, too), and we welcome all your suggestions about what we should write about next! Let us know in the comments below.

Seems like since yesterday proton VPN for android mobile keeps disconnecting with an error 'unspecified error' Anyone else having issues?

Hey everyone,

We’re happy to announce the latest Proton Calendar feature – event color-coding!

You can now add a color to each event, making it easier to identify and prioritize tasks in your schedule. This feature is available in Proton Calendar for web, Android, and iOS for all paid Proton plans.

This has been one of our most requested features by our community, and we continue to listen to your feedback and make improvements.

Try it out and let us know what you think in the comments below: https://calendar.proton.me

Pretty much what the title says. I have a subscription to Proton as well as Mullvad. I've ordered a router and I plan on running Proton on the router and Mullvad on the device I'm using, or vice versa. I would just like to know with absolute certainty that doing this won't somehow put my Proton account at risk, before I actually do it; I rely on my Proton account for a lot of things. I know there are automated systems in place that detect abuse, especially with respect to DDoS and whatnot. I do not do anything related to DDoS or anything similar, so my account will never be flagged for anything of that nature correctly. I really can't see how/why daisy chaining with another VPN could reasonably be construed as an abuse of the service, but I actually do worry about that in all honesty, whether or not I should. If there's any way something like that might happen, I'll abandon the idea as it would concern my Proton account and figure some other means of accomplishing this. Thanks.

I ask because not all emails will live update, they basically get imported and then that's it. What do you use, and why?

Babe wake up - new @protonprivacy features just dropped. My fav...

Inactive 2FA: Find out if any of your accounts offer two-factor authentication that you haven’t enabled, giving you a second layer of protection.

AFAIK when you log in to Proton, you send them your password, they do the standard hashing and checking against the hash stored in their database, and if it matches them they let you log in by sending you a token of some sort.

If the your password is your encryption key, and if at some point Proton needs your plaintext password in order for you to log in, then doesn't that mean they still have a way to access your data? They could take the plaintext password and decrypt everything in your account without you knowing, right?

Apparently, the researchers contacted some VPN providers. Perhaps Proton is one of them.

Pulling this off requires high privileges in the network, so if this is done by intruder you're probably having a Really Bad Day anyway, but might be good to know if you're connecting to untrusted networks (public wifi etc). For now, if you need to be sure, either tether to Android - since the Android stack doesn't implement DHCP option 121 or run VPN in VM that isn't bridged.

Proton Mail came under scrutiny for its role in a legal request by the Spanish authorities leading to the identification and arrest of a user.

I moved over to Proton from Google because I liked the idea of having an alias for each service. After two months and a Mail Plus trial, I now pay for Proton Unlimited. I use Mail (due to alias linking), Calendar, and Pass often. I don't really use VPN that much (although it is useful sometimes), and Drive is just too slow. I didn't have any issues with Google, and I liked using Gmail and Calendar. Proton also doesn't have watch apps, so I have to add my calendars through iCal to Google Calendar for my watch. It feels to me like I'm just overpaying now. Should I move back to Google for mail and calendar? I'm probably going to keep Pass (it seems just a bit too expensive compared to Bitwarden, though).

Hi everyone,

We’re happy to announce that the 2nd highest-voted feature request is rolling out this week — Proton Pass Monitor.

Proton Pass Monitor keeps your data safe with dark web monitoring, checking for weak and reused passwords, scanning for accounts with inactive 2FA, and providing easy access to Proton Sentinel.

You can also check out the following support articles:

https://proton.me/support/what-is-pass-monitor https://proton.me/support/how-to-use-pass-monitor

Let us know what you think! As always, we appreciate your support and feedback.

— Proton Team

P.S. We also want to give a huge shoutout to u/Alfondorion who (along with many others) suggested the name.

It may take a little time for Proton Pass Monitor to become available on all platforms, thanks for your patience!

I have a folder ABC that I'm syncing to Drive via the Drive>MyComputer>AddFolder option on Windows.

1. Is there a way to sync this ABC folder on a different PC (logged into Proton Drive as the same user) as well so it's stored locally there and automatically syncs changes bi-directionally?

2. Can this folder show up for other Prodon Drive users as a shared folder of some kind? Or does it first have to be relocated into the Proton Drive folder to be able to do this?

3. In the original PC is there any way to make the ABC folder online-only? Or do I first have to relocate the folder to within Proton Drive in order to do this?

Also: how do I share any folder with another proton user (would be user on this same visionary plan) so that it syncs locally on their desktop?

Thanks for any help!

Are proton vpn users affected by this?

There's a button to "sort" folders in the settings which sorts the currently existing folders alphabetically. Then when you create a new folder it gets put at the bottom. Can we just have them sort alphabetically automatically?

Also when you click sort, it only sorts the top-level folders. The subfolders don't get sorted at all.

This is the kind of rough-around-the-edges stuff that Proton really needs to sort out before adding more and more services.

Just discovered that this feature is not available for Unlimited subscribers, but it is for Mail Essentials? Why would they not include this for the Proton Unlimited users? This is a bit infuriating tbh.
