@Tazerface @hanrahan Why?
Think about who wrote the thing.

CERN. Large Hadron Collider.

Scientists and computer geeks (not in a derogatory way) whose main piece of scientific equipment is built underground.

You know, like, in a cave.

And, for troglodytes, "dark mode" IS the default mode.

Proton Pass wasn't written for people who might need to use it with any measureable amount of ambient lighting!

@Xanis You're welcome!

Both Proton Pass and Bitwarden are ad-free, secure, and very nearly have the full features of the paid versions.

For most users, the free versions are more than enough.

One limitation is that the free versions don't allow 2FA TOTPs to be generated. Personally, I'd never use that feature as it removes a barrier to being hacked *IF* the password manager was ever compromised. Instead, the use of a separate Authenticator app for those codes is probably safer!

@Xanis @DesolateMood
Sure!

Tuta.com
Privacyguides.org
EFF.org

Additionally, Proton Pass and Bitwarden are both well respected, open source, password managers that are Freemium products.

@fart_pickle @protonprivacy
If Proton develops a "feature that detects and labels faces and features in the pictures stored in a Proton Drive," I will IMMEDIATELY extract every photo and file of mine from Proton Drive, and then CLOSE my Proton account.

Having that feature would probably require users to provide their password to the system performing the 'facial recognition' scan. That would be a HUGE vulnerability.

If I ever want my privacy destroyed, I'll use Apple, Google, Facebook, etc.

Proton has released Von App?

Well, it was bound to happen.

If a bunch of scientists and coders get together where the world's largest and expensive man-made ring (the LHC) was forged deep underground, it was only a matter of time before Tolkein's writing started to influence the decisions made by Proton.

Von App to rule them all,
Von App to find them,
Von App to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.
