Proton

Coming back to this post after thinking of buying this for a bit. Its a super good deal and im glad I did because it allowed me to cancel the proton subscription altogether. It was a monkey paw situation for me since I asked for this, but it required me to pay for a lifetime instead of a subscription. Maybe a blessing in disguise.

Their free plan is still really good and allows me to use their products as much as I already did without paying $12.99 every month. So thanks for the chance proton. I essentially have my digital communication secured by paying this one time fee and I can only hope it pays off.

No knock on Proton, but there have been a lot of "lifetime membership" deals these last few years that wind up forgotten after corporate decides number should go up.
I'll consider "lifetime payments" when corpos offer a legal contract specifying what their remedy will be when "lifetime" winds up meaning "when corporate loses interest".

For those wondering, the cost is $199 for Pass Lifetime.

I get this as part of my Ultimate plan and I must say that SimpleLogin has been the most pleasant surprise. It's fantastic.

“Forever” probably means about five years.

Pretty cool. I think that means Pass is cheap AF for them run to consider doing this worth it. Or maybe it is more like a loss-leader like Costco's 1$ hotdogs to get people in their ecosystem

I want to like apps like Proton Pass, but they focus too much on all or nothing. If Proton Pass was a local-first password store that then you could pay to have your passwords synced automatically, it would be worth considering.

Interesting concept.

Ahh, I thought it was something for the email side...durn
