darn. hidden in such a place!

and I couldn’t believe what I found in there. Apparently MongoDB, which I use only for my work, linked me with my facebook account. This is crazy.

yeah, same thing here. like, how can I explain my wife that is less technical than me, that “hey, this Proton service is great for privacy and all, but you won’t have Calendar widgets and notifications when I add stuff to our shared calendars”, and she will be like “why?” and I will be doomed. I can accept those things, cause I care more about privacy, but she doesn’t and she prefers functionality over that

i am genuinely waiting for it. read the first one almost 10 years ago and it gave me a good start into my programming journey.

even if this second version won’t bring in anything new for me, I will be glad to consume it

on reddit they wrote the yubikeys are a thing for whole Proton and all its apps, not Pass specific. and that they are looking into it. I am too waiting for this to come for the apps, as it’s kinda stupid now to have to set the codes 2FA to be able to use yubikeys just for the web.

thanks for your help! gotta get them then for my Proton account to keep it safe and handle all the other auths with passwords and TOTPs I guess.

ok, I see some on my country sites with a reasonable price. thanks for the tips! if you don’t mind I would like to ask one more question in regards to the keys.

How does they work in pairs? Like, I see an auction where I can buy one key separately, but to dont get locked out of account I would rather want to buy two. Should I look for auction with bundle of two? or I can set up two separate keys to be used for the same authorizaion?

that are two separate keys? or that’s one key that has USB + NFC on it? cause that would be kinda good, as all my devices have USB except for the iPhone, but it has NFC so that would be sufficient enough

that are good suggestions. my bank accounts all require two steps authentications, with the second one being mostly auth via mobile app, so that part is enforced and always keeps the account secured better.

I do have one concern with the Proton account itself, as you wrote “no all eggs in one basket” rule of thumb. With the Pass, I have the 2FA integrated together with passwords (not for bank accounts) - a little risk in here with a gain on convenience.

Though I certainly do not store my Proton password in it, keeping it memorable and more than 40 characters long makes me feel safe. Im not sure what 2FA app to use for the Proton tho, would you recommend anything? I cannot use a physical key, as my devices have different USB connectors and I cannot have a one key for all.

that is a true concern. however in this case I have a good feature provided by my bank provider, where I can create a virtual-only card, to which I send a fixed balance amount, like $100 and that is all that card have - even tho my account may be at $1000. so given this and the e2e encryption, I guess its probably safe to store - at least the virtual cards
