Alright, y'all were right, fuck Proton. This was the last straw for me. (lemmy.ml)

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.

What tier do you at for now? Did you ever downgrade your their?

I am on Proton Plus, $4.99 per month, which I now see does not appear to extend to Pass benefits. I've switched password managers already, and am going to be moving everything else over to other apps and services and cancelling my Proton accounts entirely.

That's fair, if something doesn't work for you move on. I'm pretty happy with proton for now. Eventually I'll try self hosting.
