After rolling out its password manager to a limited number of users in April, Proton has finally released the service to the general public. The tool, called Proton Pass, uses end-to-end encryption to keep your usernames and passwords away from third parties, including Proton itself. It also lets you create and store randomly generated email aliases that you can use in place of your real address.

      Proton’s servers are in Switzerland, and they comply with all EU privacy and security laws. Majority of other password locker solution are US companies, so their equipment and data is subject to US federal and state laws, NSA/DHS surveillance, etc.

          Ah yes, pardon my North American assumptions… 🙃 Although theoretically we could turn this the other way around - you as German would still be subject to US laws for any data that is stored on US servers - including Bitwarden cloud saves.

            I would. But I also trust in both bitwardens word as well as what I read (I actually did back when I decided to use bitwarden) in the external audit concerning the encryption of my vault. So, as things are at the moment, the feds can raid bitwarden, or azure for that matter, all they want, they will still not get my passwords.
