I’m (probably) switching to Proton Pass from Bitwarden because its easier to create email aliases (all in one instead of making an alias with SimpleLogin, then copying that to Bitwarden and making a password there) but I’ve heard people saying not to use Proton Pass to not “put all your eggs in one basket”. Can someone explain what this means?
Thought if there is a way to generate those aliases within Bitwarden (using Proton’s alias not SimpleLogin’s as I’m going to be paying for Proton Unlimited anyways, I don’t wanna pay for SimpleLogin too) I’d appreciate it, as I prefer Bitwarden.
Thank you all :)
EDIT: I understand now. TL:DR: If one service dies you still have the other. Either way, turns out I can just grab my API Key from SimpleLogin and use it with Bitwarden, as thats what Proton uses anyways. Also the Proton Pass extension just shit itsself and I’m not a fan of Proton’s UI so I will be sticking with Bitwarden.
If your Proton password EVER gets compromised your entire online entity is leaked now because they have access to not only your email, but every single password and other email that you use. While this is not common, you have to keep in mind that this can lead to years of headache and unrepairable damage to whatever it is about your online identity whether it is your health, finances, political activities, etc.
However, Proton Pass as a standalone product is excellent. I just would not use it with my main protonmail account, and instead create a completely separate account just for Pass. Good OpSec will always save you when you least expect it.
