EDIT: Just thanking everyone for the thoughtful responses. Really enjoyed reading everyone's takes here and will definitely think on things moving forward and try various configurations out!

Hi all, interested in your thoughts here. Recently signed up for Proton Unlimited via Black Friday sale mainly for email/VPN/drive. For passwords I've been happy with Bitwarden and DDG for email forwarding (plus you get a duck.com address which is just fun).

If you were me would you move over to ProtonPass to streamline, or keep these things broken up? On one hand I don't want all my eggs in one basket, on the other hand I feel like it means I am trusting my info to one Swiss-based org vs Proton + DDG/Bitwarden which are US based. Plus if I am paying for a service I feel a little less like the product in the long term.

Feel pretty ok with both options as my main objective is de-Googling, but interested to hear what has worked well for others. Appreciate any input!

Proton service that tracks data breaches for your passwords & info. I believe it also provides extra protection in case somehow your Proton account is compromised.
