  • The new ProtonMail has passed its independent security audit
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Jul 2021
    The linked site is very low on info high on outrageous claims. It is not the same as gmail and protons response to that paper are accurate imo. The fact is web clients are inherently insecure but you can run your own client entirely afaik (https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail). I don't think anybody has evidence of wrong doing but the service is proprietary so...

  • A new ProtonMail in coming!

    beta.protonmail.com will redirect users to mail.protonmail.com. Once you sign in, you'll be prompted to activate "beta access." Once you confirm the activation, your app will be reloaded and serve the beta environment. See screenshots for reference: https://imgur.com/a/kQHrDHy and https://imgur.com/a/pLCIHfN

    In v4, Proton Calendar is integrated with and easily accessible via an app selector in your inbox. You can try it out now via beta.protonmail.com.

    It will be the v4 (beta.protonmail.com) release

    The new web app has been open source for a while already and can be found here: https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-mail

    The reason we sent out this email ahead of time was to ensure that the majority of our userbase who doesn't use beta.protonmail.com isn't surprised or concerned next week when they see a completely new interface at login (i.e. concerns that it may be a fake or phishing website, etc.).
  • Adding sites to Containers without visiting sties
    2 projects | /r/firefox | 30 May 2021
    For example, if I wanted to add beta.protonmail.com to a container, I am running into the issue where I cannot add beta.protonmail.com to always open in a container because as soon as visiting the site, it would redirect to https://account.protonmail.com/login. So the beta.protonmail.com would never open in a container tab, but then it would open the login page by opening a brand new tab.

    6 projects | /r/CryptoCurrency | 10 Dec 2023
    For passwords and 2FA I use Bitwarden in combination with a self-hosted Vaultwarden service (for imcreased security and use of pro features for free).

    2 projects | /r/privacy | 8 Dec 2023
    First it's good to use a password manager, however it's not a good idea to use the one built into your browser. I would suggest switching to BitWarden or similar (not LastPass).
