  • there's ways to not install it and there's ways to get rid of it. Just so everyone knows. You can also use an app like simplewall to block any of the garbage in windows from connecting to the internet at all

  • any computer still using hardware that's not compatible with windows 11 will need to be replaced soon anyway

  • Oh...so they just want to take all control away from the user? I won't be buying that, I'm sure it eats up a fuck ton of bandwidth too

  • that would be cool too.

  • now we just need proton docs inside of the proton drive desktop client too

  • It costs money to maintain all this stuff. They're being super generous with their free options.

    Then there's all the court cases that they fight against on the regular too. That costs a lot of money as well.

  • I wouldn't know, I've had a paid proton account for a long time now

  • you mean they weren't already?

  • most password managers give you the option to export your saved credentials. Pick a format that proton pass can read and then import it into proton pass.

  • you might've been able to avoid this by choosing a different folder for it to sync to on your re-install

  • answering the question in the title...no. Not to the service you're using it to sign up for anyway

    But someone monitoring the emails going from one address to another? Probably yes.

  • there's probably going to be third party tools to replace it.

    Serious flaw in critical applications: Plaintext passwords in process memory, is this a problem for proton too?

  • I started using Aegis as soon as I saw the update for the google authenticator that "securely stores" my authentication tokens....in google's own severs...that get hacked all the time.

    Don't use proton pass to store your 2FA tokens, use something like Aegis for 2FA tokens instead, and be sure to password protect it with a password that you DON'T store inside of proton pass

  • you mean they discontinued it? I wouldn't know, I haven't had skype installed in a long time.

  • nobody uses apps from the microsoft store once they learn about the desktop app versions that are way better.

    Only mentally handicapped people like my siblings and my dad use metro apps.

  • I already have that feature disabled!

    Thanks to O&O shutup10++

  • I thought proton was already doing this? With the mailbox password and the "two password mode" in the settings in our accounts?

  • probably

  • This is why I delay updates.

    Proton Pass windows app tray icon isn't showing all of a sudden
