Hey everyone, how do you evaluate the company Proton AG, the owner of Proton Mail and Proton Pass? I'm in the process of migrating some accounts to their platform, but I've always been wary of using a password solution, especially after the LastPass incident. I used to use Keepass stand alone, but it's quite cumbersome. So, how do you assess their credibility and security? Just saying that it's Swiss and has scientists doesn't really help, lol. Thanks!

I uses Proton services for a long time, and am a paid user for more than 6 years (and more if you count when I was on the free version). I never had any problem with them, and had at worst a day of downtime when they got ddos some years ago.

Services are solid and well designed, feedback are listened to, only downside is a closed-source backend (but the frontend is open-source, if I recall well).

Only thing to take into account. If you loose your password somehow, you loose all your data. So keep the recovery keys very preciously.
