Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.
- Same, staying with bitwarden for now
  
  Bitwarden also has better features for now like more solid URL matching (handy if you have a bunch of services on subdomains of the same domain name).
Long time Bitwarden user. Never been steered wrong. One of the few apps that I pay for premium not because I need the extra features, but because I value it enough to support the devs financially
The backend is proprietary. Avoid.
- As all things Proton.
  
  I use their mail system, and it's pretty good ngl
  
  Even steam proton?
  
  Best alternative for email?
- Avoid why?
  
  Because we only know what the client does, and have no clue on the server side of things, allowing Proton to do any manipulations with the data. Not ideal when you consider it for password storage.
I'll still stick with bitwarden, but if I were to introduce someone very tech illiterate, I would probably recommend proton
- I'm tech illiterate and been using Bitwarden for 3 years (premium), and honestly it doesn't work very well on Android. Every time I need to enter a password, it's completely hit-or-miss with Bitwarden. Half of the time it doesn't even pop up. I'm using Xiaomi phone and tablet with stock rom (global version).
  Should I switch to Proton?
I'll take KeepassXC and KeepassDX + SyncThing, just works and I don't have to ever rely on someone else for my most sensitive data.
How does it compare to vaultwarden/bitwarden?
- I don't think protonpass has auto fill even on browser extension.
  Or maybe I'm too stupid to figure it out. I ran side by side against bitwarden which I love. Could not figure out a way that didn't make me manually c/p the creds.
- When it launched the apps were more modern than bitwarden. If bitwarden hasn't improved since, then it's still the same
  
  Bitwarden’s interface hasn’t changed a bit and it’s a pity
For me keepassxc is a dramatic improvement over a centralised service.
- I use both and am afraid that I will lose the passwords in Proton Pass as Its a service they can restrict me of.
  I should startto copy some accountd that I dont have yet in keepass but keepass is still the master holder
  
  Is that not the same risk vith bitwarden too
for the love of god use a free open source app like keepass, this is a untrustworthy company
- both of them you download and use, it requires the smae amount of technical knowledge. in fact you could argue, that proton pass takes more technical expertise since you need to set up a account online first.
Just give me a Linux client for proton drive please. I'm tired of manually uploading/downloading files 😐
- an official client is on the way but for now
Proton VPN and nothing more.
