Hey everyone, how do you evaluate the company Proton AG, the owner of Proton Mail and Proton Pass? I'm in the process of migrating some accounts to their platform, but I've always been wary of using a password solution, especially after the LastPass incident. I used to use Keepass stand alone, but it's quite cumbersome. So, how do you assess their credibility and security? Just saying that it's Swiss and has scientists doesn't really help, lol. Thanks!

That's why you need to install the proton mail bridge if you want to use it with apps like thunderbird. Of course, Emails not send from or too another proton account are not encrypted, but that's something proton can't change... Although you can put a password on your emails, so only people who know that password can access the mail, but that's more of a workaround than a fix.
