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 curious why you migrated away from Proton services and where you ended up?
I've had a protonmail account since they first started up, but never upgraded to a paid plan.
@voltronic Basically because the premise of Protonmail (the only service of theirs that I really used) is kind of flawed in real-world practice. Email just isn't secure, even if you're encrypting the message content (which I honestly only had a chance to do a handful of times in my 5 years with PM). There are better ways to securely transmit messages without problematic metadata complications (hi, SimpleX!).
Plus the PM app and web UI are dated and had me missing features.

Thanks, I might have to check out FastMail.
The UI/UX of ProtonMail has bothered me too. If they really want to get people to migrate away from Google, then it should be as easy to use.
@voltronic I moved to FastMail, which costs about half of what I was paying for PM while providing way more storage, significantly better apps, tons of useful features (like snoozing messages! oh how I've missed that!), and did I mention better apps?
The service is also fast (as advertised), the migration process was completely painless, and I'm just quite happy with the move.
I still have immense respect for what Proton stands for, but using apps which felt 10+ years old wasn't fun.
