  1. Only allow login with single/main address/username

    Do not allow that you can log into the account with every address.

    If my account name is john.smith then only allow login with john.smith or john.smith@protonmail.com. Not with finance.john.smith@protonmail.com or any other address.

    Perfect would be if you would have the choice what address can be used in order to log into your account.

    With the current way you have to give away your login username in order to send emails. Hiding the username from the public would be an advantage, since they would have to guess your username and the password. Not only one of them.

  2. Litecoin payment option

    Please accept Litecoin as a payment method for premium accounts and donations. While Bitcoin is a great investment asset, for normal low level payments below multiple-thousand level, Litecoin is much better. Bitcoin transaction fees are already around $5. Currently Litecoin fees are around $0.05 or 5 cents. Even the advent of lightning networks on Bitcoin will not make Bitcoin cheaper since Litecoin will also have Lightning network payments and channel costs will be 100x more expensive on Bitcoin.

  3. Recycle temporarily used/delete usernames

    Recycle usernames that were only used for a short period before being deleted.

    On a lot of websites common usernames are used up by people who sign up to try the service out and just delete the account.

    Please consider making these usernames available once again.

  4. Visionary Multi-User Support

    Instead of creating new Member within the Organisation, let us "add" People that already have an Protonmail Account to our Organisation.

    The benefit of that is, the Member will keep it's own Account even after he leaves the Organisation and the Admin/Visionary User just have to allocate the Addresses and Storage!

    Simply said: The Admin Creates the Organisation and Add Member with their existing Protonmail Address. If the Member is on a Free Plan, he will get the benefit from the Visionary User.
    When the Member leaves the Organisation, he will then fall back to the Free Plan.

  5. Regional pricing

    It costs the average Russian nearly two day's wages to pay for ProtonMail Visionary. It costs the average German just over two hours.

    Average wages vary drastically throughout the world, which is why large international companies like Spotify accomodate poorer nations. The same Spotify premium plan is equiv to USD 18.42 in Denmark compared to USD 4.50 in Argentina. This opens up their market to a global audience who would otherwise be unable to afford their service.

    So what can we do to prevent someone in Switzerland paying for ProtonMail in Mexican Pesos?

    Global issuer identification numbers: the first six…

  6. Choose which identity to keep when downgrading

    Please add the feature to allow paid users to decide which identity they get to keep if they return to the free plan.

    I signed up with a protonmail.ch address but found myself mostly giving people my protonmail.com address. I want to go back to a free plan now but not being able to change my primary identity to the .com address is a problem.

  7. iDEAL payment/donation option (Netherlands)

    iDEAL is the most popular online payment system in the Netherlands (NL):
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDEAL
    Please consider adding support for this method for Donation, like Wikipedia has already done.
    I don't have bitcons, err bitcoins, or PayPal.

  8. Delete (unlink) aliases from ProtonMail account

    To protect ProtonMail user privacy and anonymity, we need an option to permanently unlink (delete) aliases from ProtonMail accounts.

    Address counter can stay incremented, but the deleted identity (alias) should not be linked to the main account any more. Unlinked e-mail address should stay permanently disabled to prevent address recycling.

    A 7, 14 or 30 day deletion waiting time can be implemented to prevent spammers from abusing ProtonMail aliases.

  9. Change Username

    Right now if I sign up as username@protonmail.com, there's no way to change it, for instance to user.name@protonmail.com. Even though u.serna.me@protonmail.com and use.rname+change@protonmail.com already goes to username@protonmail.com.

    Seems like we should be able to change this if we like!

  10. Temporarily store 2-step verification

    As it’s already (welcome) extra work to enter two passwords, could 2-step verification be implemented so that known devices would only need to be verified again every 30 days or so?

    At the moment, with 2-step verification enabled, even a page reload triggers triple authentication, which makes the added security a poor experience.

  12. Lifetime plan

    I find paying 4 euros per month too expensive.
    I would suggest adding the possibility to buy more features like adding more addresses, more filters rules or more GB for life.

  13. Wrong password limit

    I suggest to add incorrect password limits.

    a) For IP - eg. 5 incorrect passwords in 20 minuts from one IP will block logging in to ANY account from that IP for eg. 30 minutes.
    b) For account (configurable in account settings) - X incorrect passwords in Y minutes/hours will block logging in from ANY IP not added to whitelist (in account settings) for Z minutes/hours and send notification to recovery email.

    c) After successful login show warning if there were any login attemps (invalid password).

  14. Custom plans - make your own bundle (add-ons)

    Instead of having a Plus, with a fixed number of custom domains and adresses, let users build their own paid plan.
    Some may only want more space, without the other extras, or something else

  15. Add security questions

    You can add security questions on resetting password - after clicking link sent to recovery email, before you can enter new password, you should answer two (or three) security questions.

    This will be additional security for resetting password.

    At this point, security questions have been shown to not be an effective way to validate a users identity. At this time the recovery email address is our sole means of identifying users ownership of an account.

  16. DASH payment option

    Hi,
    I would like to pay with dash. It is the only cryptocurrency with instant payments. They are having lot of inovations implemented and lot of things will be in near future.

    Please alow us using the most decentralized currency for payments for donations and other stuff on protonmail service.

  17. Put a country flag in security log entries

    The security log fails to give the user a clear idea of who logged in. Just by the time and some ip adress it's difficult to distinguish me from a hacker.
    Therefore, I propose there is a country flag in the security log entries. This way I can just take a quick look at the logs and if somehow someone in say cuba, china, russia whatever logged in, I know for sure that wasn't me.
    Now obviously a hacker would use Tor or some other form of proxy but that proxy would still most likely be located in some other…

  18. Allow login username to be different from email and aliases

    You can effectively make your login username a barrier from even giving hackers a starting point to get into your account. Since with this feature they would need to know your username first. This should squash any determine hacker and allow great protection to long term protonmail accounts for years to come. Thoughts of "working on hacking this account may take time" is diminished wouldnt ya say?

    So we use multiple keys on one account. Eg. to continue using an old key from a previous email account with your new ProtonMail account.

  20. Remove the .ch domain

    All accounts ProtonMail bring by default the domain .ch and .com

    We don't all live in Switzerland

    So we don't want to have there the domain .ch
