  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. 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.

  3. Integrate with PGP keystore for 'to' addresses

    Allow us to provide public keys for our contacts, letting us encrypt emails to people without using protonmail "secure" email with password.

    Additionally offer search functionality for one of the well known keystores (MIT, etc) to find public keys for people you're sending emails to.

  4. Shared inbox

    Non-personal, shared (aka functional) mailboxes are commonplace in businesses - a central mailbox for a particular purpose accessible by multiple users. A similar need is also common for personal use (e.g. each spouse has their own personal mailbox, but also have a shared address for things like bills or school notifications)

    1) Best option would be to allow an address to be created and assigned to multiple users within a ProtonMail Organization. That avoids forwarding of emails and also avoids having to log out of one ProtonMail user and then log into another user in order to check the shared…

  6. 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?

  7. Dead mans switch / legacy settings / post mortem

    set something up where if your account goes inactive (no log in etc) for a settable period of time a preset email will be sent to a preset address.

    example i set up something so if i dont log in in 3 or 14 or 30 or 90 days etc (let us choose how long) a message i have already set up for this will be sent..

    this would have a few uses and is also a pretty decent fallback to losing your account info if you dont set a 2nd account.. you could even send yourself your own forgotten…

  8. 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

  9. 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).

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. Different passwords for mail, vpn, and drive

    If I am to use ProtonMail, ProtonVPN, and ProtonDrive on a number of devices, it seems to me that having all of these secured by a single passphrase is an unacceptable risk. Having the option to secure each of these with a different password would be a significant improvement. Indeed, without this, I think I will be very reluctant to use all of these and rely upon them.

  15. Import private keys

    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.

  16. SMS 2FA

    I understand this wouldn't be the choice for the most privacy-seeking users, but when one doesn't own a smartphone, the good old code sent through SMS for 2FA would be a great feature!

  17. 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.

  18. Paid plans should provide option to hide promotional ads

    Option to hide promotions / ads for proton. Would probably need to be a paid feature. For me the main appeal of protonmail is the lack of ads based on by my emails, lack of calendar events auto created based on my emails, and lack of ads in the interface. I consider the button that says "Get Proton Family" to be an ad.

  19. Unlimited accounts for catch-all email addresses

    I am a premium paying member of proton mail who uses a catch-all email domain.

    I use many prefixes such as:
    moving@address.com
    apartment@address.com
    work@address.com
    personal@address.com
    name@address.com
    etc.

    In order to send email from these addresses, I must have accounts for them. This is very annoying as I have to repeatedly create and delete these accounts in order to stay under the 15 account limit.

    On my own domain, I should have unlimited addresses.

    This would very helpful and would solve one of my biggest annoyances with proton.

  20. 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…
