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!

    I’m using Proton Pass aliases and they work like a charm. With the browser plugin, it’s easily feasible to generate one for every single thing you sign up for. I would argue that there are some advantages over DDG (although I haven’t used their service in for quite a while):

    1. Proton applies E2EE to incoming mails
    2. If the mails go to your Proton account anyway, removing DDG means removing a proxy that could read your mails or be an attack vector to do so
    3. Afaik you can secure your proton account way beyond what DDG offers (password + 2FA + Sentinel + extra password for Mail + extra password for Pass) if you want to
    4. Convenience: You can manage everything in Pass and it tells you right away what you created an alias for, allows to create accounts from it etc.

    Is it a total game changer? Probably not.

        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.
