I think this is the major feature that proton is missing that Google has. Given how big proton has become, I'd like to suggest proton to implement something like this for the ultimate Google like experience but with a trusted company.

Not a huge fan of this. I distinctly do not want:

  • To be tied to Proton if they really fuck up. I use my own domains that are portable. I use Proton Pass aliases for throw away accounts I could go without.
  • To not be able to secure my accounts with separate emails/usernames and long distinct passwords (or better yet passkeys) for each service. I don't use Proton Pass for password management.
  • To provide data points linking my online activities by not using separate emails/usernames.

Besides, with password manager it is only marginally less convenient than using the "log in with ..."
