MODERATORS
 

The contempt Proton is showing for their users is astounding. They not only think people will fall for this transparent act of damage control, but they also have the gall to shift blame onto the users.

Go read the comments. Obvious bots are posting praise and many critical comments are being deleted by the moderators.

So where now, any suggestions?
I use proton for email and password management.

I'm happy to pay for a product so long as it isn't lining the pockets of abhorrent people.

Getting real tired of seemingly having to sit down and research who I'm give my money to, can't we just stop being hateful bastards for a while?

Do it yourself is really the only way. Password management yourself is easy, email self hosting...not as much. But it is do-able.

The email middle ground is using your own domain and finding a decent host that runs an Imap email server. But who that is these days is a guess.

Some of the long time mostly trusted hosts have begun to add AI and raise prices.

How would you suggest this password management is done and synced across devices?

I know of KeePass, though haven't looked into it too closely.

Keepass and syncthing if you want have full control. Keepass and something like dropbox if you don't mind some cloud

This is what I do. It works well.
