Today, we are launching Proton Sentinel, a high-security program that will allow our teams and systems to better protect users who need the most security. This program was motivated by our years of experience serving high-profile people and organizations from around the world. Some of our most security-demanding users include journalists from the largest publications, governments of several countries, leaders of international peace organizations, heads of major religions, and members of parliaments. Accounts such as these have a high risk of being attacked by criminals or state-backed hackers. We are now ready to provide the same level of advanced protection and support that we reserved for these VIPs to any Proton user that wants it through the Proton Sentinel program.

I feel like Proton is launching too many things at the same time. I wish they’d improve what already exists first (mainly thinking about Proton Drive and Pass here, but there are probably other things as well).

Pass is incredible and I’m glad they did it. Sentinel indeed seemed to be „small“ since they already had that and are now just rolling it out for all paying customers.

Agreed. Their android app and calendar needs some serious work.

I’m slightly bummed out I bought a whole 24 months.

Still waiting on a bridge for Calendar to use with email clients like Outlook or Thunderbird. Works fine in Android but I feel like there’s not much use in a desktop calendar I have to log in through a browser to access.

Not saying it’s a bad product, but all I’m seeing here is “we’re releasing yet another new product while our existing lineup languishes in the quagmire of Soon™ regarding relatively basic features.”

I feel like enabling FIDO2 2FA on mobile apps would be a much better use of resources at the moment.

This is cool and all, but I would prefer they focus on making their existing apps more usable. Like letting me access Proton Drive in my files app, like you can with other cloud providers.

Or let me access my Proton Calendar on my Linux desktop without having to use web browser. Potential integration with Gnome Calendar / Gnome Shell would be amazing. I know these things take time, but even just an update to say that its being worked on would amazing.

I enabled it because hey, why not? Doesn’t cost me anything extra then some more time logging in.

I am assuming much of this is more advanced login security. Such as geo locations, you can’t be in NY and CA in less than 5 minutes.
