Having to select my single account from a "list" of 1 account when logging in is madness (self.protonprivacy)

This new account selection screen that pops up every single time I visit my inbox is driving me insane. I only have one account. Why do I need to see this account selection screen? What possible benefit could my having to click through that screen have for me or for Proton?

I don't understand what kind of sick, warped mind would devise such a thing.

It's like forcing me to pick my car from a list of one car when I click on the unlock door button on my car key in the morning.

It's like a voice asking me which of my one phone I want to make a call from when I dial a number on that very phone.

It's madness. Absolute Lovecraftian soul-shattering insanity.

Please make this insane screen go away for users who only have one account.

Or make it a setting in my settings that I can toggle on and off.

Also, please make the login screen stop blinking BRIGHT WHITE multiple times during the authentication process. Why does it have to be white?? Of all colors, white!

It's like sadists work at Proton.

Disclaimer: Speculation

Maybe it's a variant of an off-by-one error. As in, perhaps it thinks there's an account #0 as well as account #1, leading it to think there are two accounts, but simply programmed to hide account #0...

Root user account? 🤔

Fair but, I mean, Microsoft does the exact same thing
