I started using SimpleLogin just before the acquisition so wasn't aware of how active development was prior to Proton. That said I don't believe they have added anything new in that time (a year now)?

Yeah. I mean, even if you did get targeted by someone they really don't want to waste their time on someone who is more privacy/security conscious. Thieves want easy targets.
I do pay for SimpleLogin and will continue to do so. The only place my actual proton email address is exposed is on SimpleLogin. Every site I use on the internet has its own alias. That's 350+ sites currently.
The only downside to a catchall, as I see it, is someone could just start creating any random email address knowing it will find your legitimate mailbox. Also sending as any of the aliases can be a pain.
More than one email?
I don't disagree but paying £40 a year to remove a signature seems excessive. I'd actually like to go for Unlimited but can't justify the cost.
I pay for the same but may go down to their free tier. After a purge of email and emails with larger attachments I'm down to less than 500mb. The only thing I dislike on the free tier is their automated signature to advertise proton. I hardly ever send emails though so not too much of an issue.
I love his outfit 👍
The next question is does anyone actually let you import passkeys? I don't think there is ☹️
I have a few keys in Bitwarden but before I go adding more I am going to play with Proton Pass. A lot of users were understandably annoyed when Bitwarden released passkey support but in such a limited manner.
I guess it's a bit like a bank card with a PIN. You go to pay for something and your card stores your credentials on it. To allow those credentials to be read you need to unlock them using the PIN.
It seems no matter what new advancements we make in technology the big tech companies seek nothing more to implement it in a way that benefits themselves. Regardless if it means fucking over the consumer.
I really hate what the internet has become over the last couple of years.
We’ve also given passkeys and passwords equal priority so that you can use them interchangeably in our apps. This means you can store, share, and export passkeys just like you can with passwords.
It's been quite a mild winter in the UK. Normally we have a lot of frosty and freezing temperatures but we only had about 3 days where I am. Other than that it's been above 5°C and raining. The ground is saturated to fuck. Makes walking the dog a very messy job!
That said we had a pretty poor summer last year. It never really got that warm. I'm hoping the shit winter means in return we are given a nice summer. I have my doubts though.

Invaluable add-on IMO.
