It has been a great year for Proton Pass. Its been a bad year for Gmail. My Google account has been involved in 23 data breaches to date. Proton products? Zero breaches.
There is a probability each data breach could lead to identity theft. Why keep rolling the dice?
I use Proton Pass Plus & I love their Email Alias system w/SimplePass. I can create a unique, "dummy" email whenever I sign up to a site/app. This keeps my real addresses away from data brokers which manages the risk of data breach to a very low level.
Also, I basically get no spam. The recurring emails I receive are the ones I want. Remember, Google is an ad agency with a cruddy search engine. They want me to receive lots of spam. Its good business for them.
Proton Pass has made incremental changes to the UX that make a profound difference. For months, creating an alias was 80/20% with 80% of autofills working and 20% requiring cut/paste. Enough to nudge me into using Bitwarden as a crutch for several months.
Today, that ratio is more like 98% success and 2% fail. The failures are with tech oligopolies, Apple being a prime example. I still have to cut/paste to login into my Apple Account. I don't need to login to Apple very often so I don't care. I don't use Google products (data breaches!).
Finally, I love the OTP autofill. Super convenient.
I use the Firefox extension and my browser is on high privacy settings. This may, or may not contribute to my experiences. Yours may be different.
But I believe Proton Pass will continue to improve their product for everyone. Its been my experience with them over four years. It just keeps getting better.

I've been with Protonmail since the beginning. They start with solid design intentions and then slowly make a series of improvements on their products.
This Proton product is just fine. Yes, I know Bitwarden has features X, Y, and Z as well. They're all similar and lacking at the same time. It is unconcerning to me because I've seen their products evolve and I know they are genuine, ethical people.
