Proton launch password manager

@phenomlab I had NordVPN and it worked great. I just switched to proton because it is a part of their software suite and included in the unlimited package and such.
@Madchatthew you have the unlimited package?

@phenomlab I do. It comes with extras for each of the apps. It would be nice if the proton drive space was more, but it is better than nothing.

@Madchatthew I upgraded to the family plan, the Wife is using it too, I think it’s 500gb of space and you can up it / share it across 6 members.

@JAC Yeah I thought about doing the family plan, but I don’t think my wife would want to switch everything over. So for now I just did it for me.

@Madchatthew It’s the best way, see whether you like the products yourself and switch everyone over if you’re happy with it. I spent a good year on an individual plan before I took the plunge, it’s about £14 extra then I was paying, but it’s worth it if there’s a few of you to use it.

@JAC @Madchatthew in contrast, the BitWarden premium plan is just $10 per year, and the family plan $40 per year

If you just want a standalone password manager then I’d probably go with BitWarden, I purely signed up to Proton VPN first and foremost and then gradually they added more and more products which I liked so I paid the extra, which I don’t think is overpriced for everything you get.

Yeah Bitwarden sounds really good too. I got proton mainly for the email, but those other apps come with it.

@JAC True. NordVPN have a similar offering, and will charge for it no matter if you have the full-blown package like I have. If they offered a discount or another incentive, I may well have taken a different view, but to me, it just seems like easy revenue.

Much like Surfshark do, they are owned by the same company now and you can tell, there’s always something extra cropping up like dedicated IPs, loads of discounts thrown your way which is fair enough but I don’t think you should have to them thrown at you constantly
.Fortunately Proton have kept things simple and have all products under one roof should you buy the right package.
