I need a suggestion (or possibly confirmation) on what password manager to setup for my grandparents.
They’ve been using the same variant of one password for very long and are constantly forgetting it and resetting it to forget it again in a few months. I’ve offered to manage that for them but I’d like to use a separate password manager to the one I’m using (just so I don’t have all my eggs in one basket).
I’ve been using #protonpass since it was launched in beta and have been very happy. I was thinking of setting up #vaultwarden on my #synology NAS and maybe self hosting. The only requirement is that I need to be able to share passwords with them or other family members without them needing an account.
Users left scrambling for a plan B as Dropbox drops Dropbox Passwords.
Plenty of good (free) alternatives I´d say, for example:
@bitwarden -> https://bitwarden.com/
@protonprivacy Password -> https://pass.proton.me/
Both offer additional functionality in a payed version.

Choosing a password manager in 2025?
We compared Proton Pass, Bitwarden, and 1Password—looking at privacy, pricing, UX, and open-source claims.
Some aren’t as private as they claim.
Others are surprisingly strong.

Super ! Des nouveautés chez @protonprivacy . Voyons voir si les problèmes d'UX de #ProtonPass sont corrigés. Ha ben... non. Toujours pas. Je sens qu'en octobre, y en a qui vont aller se faire cuire le cul au sujet de mon abonnement.

Proton Mail gets Newsletter view to manage all email subscriptions in one place:
https://proton.me/blog/proton-mail-newsletters
(That's really cool. Now we can tell normies that Proton Mail has this feature and Gmail doesn't lol)
Proton Pass adds 14 new entry types, option to create custom types:
https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/6/proton-pass-goes-beyond-passwords-and-credit-cards-with-customizable-item-storage/
(Really tempting feature, but personally I would advise against storing every piece of sensitive data in one central database in the cloud. Proton can get hacked any time, like any other company, and also the new Swiss law can force them to hand over all that personal data in plain text, so you can mess up your privacy really badly. I'm not pointing fingers at Proton, but I think this update wasn't quite a good idea, it puts too much responsibility on them.)
Firefox 140 ESR released with unload tab feature, support for adding custom search engines in Search settings, support for keeping more or fewer pinned vertical tabs in view, "Select All" option for bookmarks on Android:

Going through a load of accounts with Proton Pass this morning and getting it to autofill stupidly complex new passwords and add 2FA where needed.
It's weird handing control over to a password manager - wasn't happy letting Google do it before.
But I do have a warm, fuzzy, ultra-secure feeling as I do it.

People were like -- Nah man, it is only Proton Wallet.
Not anymore, it's not. Proton is under Us Jurisdiction.

Meldungen über (angeblich) gehackte Passwörter lassen mich kalt. Für das gibt es Passwortmanager, wie zum Beispiel #ProtonPass und zusätzlich #TOTP
Euren Account bei #SwissSocial könnt ihr übrigens auch mittels 2-Faktor-Authentifizierung schützen.
A company truly outside Us Jurisdiction does NOT have terms and conditions concerning Us Customer and Us Laws, because they do not need them, because they do not apply to them. The same way, they do not need to include the other 200 or so, nations around the world.
It is rocket science. This is not hard to understand.

" 200 or so, countries world-wide, and they only include terms and cite laws, that they know apply to them. "So many corporate simps ignore this little fact.
Do you see Proton cite terms for Japan or Korea, or any other friendly nation? No, because Proton is only subject to the laws where they are a registered business. Proton only (and others like them) worries about the ones that apply to them, and they include the United States of America for a reason.

#ayuda por ahora solo tengo un problema: no puedo copiar contraseñar desde #protonpass en #wayland (KDE Plasma)
he probado tocando los permisos mediante flatseal como mencionan aqui https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/4105
pero no hay cambio en el comportamiento :(
Si vous aviez besoin d'une preuve que certains hotspots wifi « gratuits » où on vous demande votre mail pour vous connecter servent en fait à revendre votre mail à des annonceurs, la voici.
Du coup, pour ce genre de choses, les alias de mail c'est vraiment très utile. Personnellement j'utilise ceux de Proton Pass et ça marche super bien.
