Proton pass
Guys I use proton mail and proton pass but the issue I have is that how can I have a secure password for proton mail with 2fa if I use proton pass? If I have a less difficult password then I am lowering my security and If I want to have a 2fa (with local encrypted file) then I have to save it on some secure cloud, which for me is proton drive or mega then again I have those passwords saved in proton pass so I would have to login to proton pass first, If I lower password of those apps then again it risks security. ( I am sorry I am so confused). Please help!
Proton warns to not use 2fa from Proton Pass for your Proton account.
Yeah, from what I’ve read the best approach is a different service for 2fa and/or something involving backups and a physical safe.
What? Really?
Yes. I seem to recall that it will change later on, but i don’t know when
Password manager inception. Sign up for last pass, and bitwarden, and Google auth and Ms auth. Get a burner phone and rotate and change passwords monthly.
…sorry for my useless post.
Best thing you can do is learn a very strong and complex password to use for your proton account, that’s what I did.
It takes a bit of time but eventually you’ll learn to type it in fast.
Okay lets say I set a memorable password then I would also be removing 2fa from account as well?
Sounds like it’s time for some correcthorsebatterystaple!
Maybe diceware passwords can help you?
I use a password manager
Proton pass is a password manager but it uses the same account as proton mail. So I can’t have a secure password for proton mail as I would have to use it to login to proton pass first.
proton pass has a few non-email avenues to recovery. check it out.
Either have a strong password and write it down somewhere, or use another password manager for proton? That seems kinda unnecessary though. Would be nice if proton supported yubikey or passkey or something.
