    I moved to proton mail personally after having Gmail since forever.

    Took a year and I pay 40usd per year but worth it

      How safe / stable is proton mail? Say they go under in 5 years are you just fucked? Or is your setup such that you could move easily? Also is your email just [email protected]? Or something longer?

        I don’t have a crystal ball but Proton is the go-to, privacy-focused email provider. They are based in Switzerland.

        They likely have a way for you to export your emails if they go under or use a desktop email client to archive them.

          It’s less the backup more all the stuff linked to your account. All the sign-ups if they go down fast… You’re fucked 😕

            I pay for LastPass and would never go back. I know there are other options that people will point out but I’m too invested now haha.

            I highly recommend getting LastPass or something similar. It was much easier to make the transition away from google products

              As a former LastPass customer, I’m telling you to move over the BitWarden. LastPass has had bad security break-ins.

                  There is zero reason anyone should use LastPass when bitwarden exists.

                  No, that’s not true at all. Wow, what a horribly bad take that you have.

                  There is one very incredibly valid reason why they would use LastPass.

                  And that would be, because they own stock in the company.

                    The last thing a stockholder wants is more compromised accounts. No, they have to drive their usage rates way down.

        I have my own domain. So I’d lose my emails but I could just move the address. I’d recommend that for sure. In case you want to move to another mail provider down the line it’s super simple.

        I think it’s a bit extra to have a custom domain but it’s super worth it.
