For context, in my password manager I had tried formatting some of my entrees so that it would contain the usual username and password, but instead of creating whole new entrees for the security questions for the same account, I just added additional fields in the same entree in order to keep things a little more tidy.

I was not expecting that doing so would result in later being shaken down by Proton to pay even more money just to access the same few bytes of fucking text I had trusted them with. This is sleazy as fuck and I am dropping these idiots entirely.

    You have to admit, there are plenty of people either on Reddit (especially) or Lemmy, that seem to crack on/bash on certain companies or views on topics as a heard mentality. I’m guilty of it in the past bc I wanted to trust the heard, but after doing my own research have found whatever it was to not be so bad.

    I’ve not been here long, but man, the amount of hate I’ve seen towards proton so far is crazy.

      Yeah and all of that hate is deserved, because their products suck, and so do the people who run the company.

        What have the people behind Proton done wrong? I only use them for email and will switch to another provider if it is egregious, I value these sorts of things greatly (any alternatives to look into?) Edit: I do pay 40 euro yearly for email through them. Do not care at all for their other offerings.

        Hahaha, please, do share why their products suck, especially the people running it! I’d love to hear something fresh other than claiming the CEO is some trumpster because of some ruin fill interpretation of a god damn tweet… Petty
