Proton just launched a new password manager, and it looks to be pretty feature-rich and quite polished. It's great seeing another password manager option from a trusted organization!

It's not likely to pull me away from Bitwarden (and I did just migrate away from Proton's services two weeks ago), but options are good.

I also like to diversify my security products. Even though I love bitwarden, I still like having my MFA tokens generated by a separate app (Aegis).

Putting your eggs in one basket means you are putting all your trust in that basket to keep you safe.

I'm same keep 2fa & passwords separate in different apps/services

set up that proton pass though for one device you get a 7day trial then can upgrade to keep all pass features for $12, $1 a month,(charged annually 80% off right now)or $4.99 a month which is pretty okay pricing for the pass service alone if you need all the features - free plan also unlimited logins & notes & devices 10 hide email aliases

proton unlimited also on offer 17% discount for all proton services

downside though absence of a nice web interface, such as what you have for Proton Mail, Proton Drive you have to either install an app or browser extension to use it

Since you mentioned email aliases, I should endorse SimpleLogin. Bitwarden bought them not long ago, and this is where it gets cool. You're only supposed to have a small number of email aliases allowed for the free SimpleLogin account. But I've found a way around that.

Log into both services and generate an API key in SimpleLogin. Now in Bitwarden, you add a new account and generate a new Username for an account. Under Service, specify SimpleLogin and plug in the API key.

@ecksmc
Now when you go look in your SimpleLogin account and view all of your aliases, you'll find that a new one has been created even if you have exceeded your allowed max.

@voltronic Sneaky - I like it!

My approach is to set up catch-all forwarding on a couple of my spare domains via Cloudflare. I can process those with Email Workers in CF if needed, or otherwise just forward them to my Fastmail inbox (with a special label). This way I can easily create a unique email address for every login - though of course I miss out on being able to reply from any of those "aliased" addresses.

personally i don't bother with email aliases

gmail, protonmail, tutanota are my three i use

used aliases in past though these days i don't sign up for as much stuff or register for new platforms as much as i used to

always handy to hear new methods/tips though 👍
