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.

I don't think that's where entrees go.

Hypothetically it should have. Those were additional fields that I added to the main account login entree, in order to keep all the relevant data in one place.

Strange, I keep my entrees covered in the fridge and take them out about one hour before guests show up.
