I didn’t realize that. What’re the best Proton alternatives?
Personally I've been using Tutanota and bitwarden happily. I guess it kinda depends on what you're looking for alternatives to, I don't know if anyone else offers as comprehensive of a complete suite of stuff
Convenience shouldn't be prioritized over distribution of services one uses. Single point of failure and all that jazz.
Those recommendations would probably be more useful to the person who was asking for recs, though it's worth pointing out your solutions to certain things aren't really 1 to 1 alternatives and may not be suitable for someone who's looking for services akin to proton
+1 for tuta and bitwarden.
I won't touch anything microsoft with a long pole, so no bitwarden
Just use KeePassXc/Dx as you were meant to
Bitwarden is associated with Microsoft...?
Edit: I wasn't able to find anything suggesting they're connected, I'd love to know what you mean... I don't keep up with stuff super closely
At most I think it's hosted on azure. That's it.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah I can't say that really bothers me too much... 😅
I'm not sure there are really any big names in that space that don't suck anyway. Like the other two I'm familiar with are google and Amazon, and they're hardly saints.
A "roll your own" solution with keepass and something to sync might sidestep that problem but is hardly a drop in replacement that appeals to all the same users
Locked with your master key so... no biggie? Or did i miss anything?
Not that I can see. I assume it's just an aversion to anything Microsoft profits off of?
Did you misread Bitlocker? Or was Bitwarden bought my Microsoft? If the latter, i can't find a source.
Source?
