@adamhotep Would this be only the password manager or are you considering using Proton's other services?

For the password manager, the one thing that comes to mind off the top of my head is that there might be a bit of a lock-in effect. I seem to remember looking into how I would export from Proton Pass and finding it difficult or at least more complicated than I would have expected. It's been a while, though, I wouldn't be surprised if the situation has improved since then.

@diazona Bitwarden can import Proton Pass dbs (therefore Vaultwarden, too) and so can KeepassXC (though I'd seek out something like Chipass were I to go that route).

I'm already a Proton payer, so it would save me money to move.

@adamhotep Ah okay, if you're already paying for Proton then that probably swings things more in favor of using their password manager, although maybe not if you're already looking to move. (FWIW I just noticed some news about them sponsoring a fascist video site or something - dunno the details yet but it seems noteworthy)

Thanks for pointing out Chipass; I'll have to keep an eye on that, since KeepassXC not being ported to Qt6 has been causing some trouble for me lately.

@diazona oh, I thought Chipass was a fork of KeePass from before its AI policy change, meaning it should have fewer features.

Update: the Chipass Codeberg page answers this:

KeePassXC asks us to be skeptical of them if we are skeptical of LLMs. This is a convincing argument. A password manager doesn't need 300 regular contributors armed with 14 LLMs; it just needs to do its job, be stable, and be ported to Qt 6 already.

So they're going to work on it independently, even if it makes upstream syncs more difficult.
