I’m in their ecosystem but specifically don’t use it, as it seems extraordinarily unsafe to put my passwords behind the same authentication that I use just to check my email.
An alternative is to keep your eggs somewhat separated so that you don’t end up in a locked in situation if their services deteriorate over the years, giving you an easier escape in that scenario.
Yep! That’s what I do. I use just about everything else in Proton’s ecosystem, but I choose to use Bitwarden as my password manager. Just feels like better practice to not be wholly dependent on Proton for all my security.
How is this better than the alternatives?
It‘s probably not but if you are in their ecosystem you might as well use it.

If you have a paid plan you can generate SimpleLogin aliases directly when generating a login on a webpage. It’s a very nice feature.
Bitwarden also integrates SimpleLogin for one-click alias generation.
I didn’t know that! Although I don’t pay for SL, I get it as part of my Proton sub.
