Proton kills SimpleLogin - Star Trek∶ Website

Hi! First, they removed account delete option. Here is a link to saved page as PDF: https://we.tl/t-W5L6ADbmql Second, they removed free breach checks: Link [https://github.com/simple-login/app/pull/2065] to GitHub Third, they removed free send feature: Link [https://github.com/simple-login/app/commit/da09db3864a7bd72cef81f011f0805d26522a887] to GitHub But (!) allowed sending in trial period so this will not stop abuse because abuser will simply create new account.

They bought simple login. I’m sure they’ll just move all of the features into Pass. Just get Proton Pass

Don’t need or want a hosted password manager when I use Keepass.

Been using simple logon for about five new aliases a month, but can easily move to a duck email (or a competing service) since I don’t have a use-case for custom domain. I will keep using SL the way I do until I’m told I can’t though. RN I like some features of SL over DDG slightly more. I like creating custom aliases rather than accepting the fully obfuscated DDG ones, but the tracker removal of DDG is a bonus. Meh.

If they take what I want away, I’ll use a different service. I’m not using Proton Mail to get locked into anything. I used it to move away from vendor lock-in. Its the last thing I want after working so long to migrate away from almost fifteen years of Google. I’m willing to pay for my independence, but I’m in no hurry to be a captive user.

It seems they are in the middle of the road of merging SimpleLogin and Proton Pass.

I have Mail Plus (~$4/month) and SL (~$2/month) subs, as they’re the only services I need and cost less than the ~$10/month for Proton Unlimited, which is what I would need to pay for if I used both services from Proton.

Right now there’s this Proton Pass feature gray area, where I have Pass free, so I’m limited to 10 aliases, but the aliases I create on Pass have the custom domain I setup on SL, and show on my SL dashboard too. Weird.
