then being mad for getting kicked out for violating basic rules

They were kicked out for intentionally violating anti-competitive rules. It’s bullshit. And it’s sad to see anyone at all defending Google here.

Why would anyone even want that?

I don’t know. Just because they’re not a publicly traded company doesn’t mean they don’t want more money 🤷 but certainly they may want to “stay in their lane” and focus on what they’re best at. Just seems like an absolute fuckton of money they’re leaving on the table to me.

As far as I know, passwords and TOTP keys were never leaked by LastPass. Regardless, I did say almost always.

There are ads in the app for Proton Pass, so that’s my best guess.

Yes, the biggest difference is that Proton Auth seems to work without an account.

It’s sad that any of this was ever allowed to happen in the first place, and that it took a giant corporation to break it up. This shit should have been stomped out 20 years ago when it was beginning.

Honestly it’s pretty crazy that Steam hasn’t entered the most lucrative gaming market.

A lot of people think fragmentation of digital markets will deliver a worse experience.

While it does add a tiny amount of friction, the trade-offs are massive.

Yes that’s why I said:

If you already use Proton Pass, I think I’d recommend Ente Auth instead

Correct. However it’s worth noting that passwords are almost always compromised server-side. So 2FA is far more a mitigation of data breaches from the provider, rather than your password manager being breached.

I don’t see how that’s a SimpleX problem. People like that are obviously going to gravitate to “free” platforms where they’re free to be shitheads. There’s no administrative oversight. That’s what you want.

Ehhhh but they already have this in Proton Pass?

E: found this in the FAQ

Proton Pass is a password manager designed to securely generate and store strong passwords, and protect your digital identity with features like email alises and dark web monitoring. It also includes an integrated authenticator that can store and autofill 2FA codes - but not the ones used to log in to your Proton account. Proton Authenticator is a standalone 2FA app that allows users to enable 2FA protection for their Proton account, it also allows users to store their 2FA codes separate from their passwords if they wish to do so.

If you already use Proton Pass, I think I’d recommend Ente Auth instead. That’s what I use.

Actual Budget

Maybe not.

I was in the Cinny room at one point and it got spammed with CSAM at one point. It was traumatic.

Did you have a question?

It was very clearly advertised as experimental and insecure:

There’s definitely no law in the US. In fact the vast majority of Android device bootloaders come locked. Pretty much just Pixels and Galaxies that allow this.

That’s fair.
