Tempting. I've been using Bitwarden for awhile now and it's been fantastic. I am not sure I need to switch.
Same. I'll continue to use Bitwarden. I think it's good to have other open-source options out there, though. Proton Pass is definitely prettier and will appeal to some people that care more about the aesthetics.
continues to use Bitwarden also.
You can save a bit of money considering this is currently $1/mo or "free" with some package plans, but rest assured it is not as good as BitWarden or 1P and likely never will be. It's very MVP and Proton has a habit of promising products and features that don't see the light of day for years on end.
Proton's value to me is the "suite" of products they've developed at a very reasonable price so I don't have to manage and pay 5 different accounts.
I bought it at $1 a month because it basically includes simplelogin for free. Which is normally $30 a year or more. The catch is you can only create simplelogin aliases via the password manager extension only.
I have signed up for pass but simple login still only shows only 10 aliases. Should I be getting unlimited?
Do not switch yet. Proton Pass offers nothing beyond Bitwarden, it's immature and hasn't been audited.
