No knock on Proton, but there have been a lot of "lifetime membership" deals these last few years that wind up forgotten after corporate decides number should go up.
I'll consider "lifetime payments" when corpos offer a legal contract specifying what their remedy will be when "lifetime" winds up meaning "when corporate loses interest".
Proton already does a lot of shady marketing crap so I would be very dubious of such an offer. This may also come before they just offer those additions in the free version, since it probably does not sell well on its own.
I love simplelogin (and Firefox relay, which I used before I got a proton plan). One of the best things is that I recently changed what my main email address was, and on day 1 I changed where they get forwarded and bam, hundreds of sites and accounts are now pointing at the new email.
Pretty cool. I think that means Pass is cheap AF for them run to consider doing this worth it. Or maybe it is more like a loss-leader like Costco's 1$ hotdogs to get people in their ecosystem
Both. Passwords take up nearly no storage and it's mainly a sync service. Plus if people start to use your other projects they basically wind up paying for it anyway.
No criticism here. I love proton. Great company and great products.
I want to like apps like Proton Pass, but they focus too much on all or nothing. If Proton Pass was a local-first password store that then you could pay to have your passwords synced automatically, it would be worth considering.
It caches your online data. It still has to connect online to a Proton account first and there are limitations in its functionality for nonpaid users beyond cloud synchronization.
