    How safe / stable is proton mail? Say they go under in 5 years are you just fucked? Or is your setup such that you could move easily? Also is your email just xxxx@proton.com? Or something longer?

      I don’t have a crystal ball but Proton is the go-to, privacy-focused email provider. They are based in Switzerland.

      They likely have a way for you to export your emails if they go under or use a desktop email client to archive them.

        It’s less the backup more all the stuff linked to your account. All the sign-ups if they go down fast… You’re fucked 😕

          I pay for LastPass and would never go back. I know there are other options that people will point out but I’m too invested now haha.

          I highly recommend getting LastPass or something similar. It was much easier to make the transition away from google products

            As a former LastPass customer, I’m telling you to move over the BitWarden. LastPass has had bad security break-ins.

                There is zero reason anyone should use LastPass when bitwarden exists.

                No, that’s not true at all. Wow, what a horribly bad take that you have.

                There is one very incredibly valid reason why they would use LastPass.

                And that would be, because they own stock in the company.

      I have my own domain. So I’d lose my emails but I could just move the address. I’d recommend that for sure. In case you want to move to another mail provider down the line it’s super simple.

      I think it’s a bit extra to have a custom domain but it’s super worth it.
