An immersive simulator game to test our passwords, recovery phrases, 2FA, and other account recovery methods.
It's very common to forget our passwords, with a high chance of never recovering our accounts. I've never lost mine yet, but to help us memorize them, I propose:
In this immersive game, you are locked in a room. Throughout the game, you use your passwords and recovery phrases to escape the room, and of course, everything would be encrypted to use your passwords and phrases.

I’d like to address a viewpoint that contradicts my proposal.
A Reddit user claimed my idea wouldn't be practical because, according to them, Proton users might be careless enough to enter their credentials into similar third-party apps.
I see it differently, though: Proton users tend to be methodical, cautious, and wary. Perhaps I’m living in a digital bubble, but I don't believe any Proton customer would enter their actual credentials outside the Proton ecosystem.
especially since the game could be designed to use dummy passwords for gameplay, feature the minimalist interface that Reddit user advocates for, and, like all Proton services, be encrypted.

That's a creative idea. A similar concept could work well for **Letter Boxed** too. Instead of using real passwords or recovery phrases, players could solve Letter Boxed-style word chains to unlock doors, decode clues, or reveal the next section of the escape room. Each completed puzzle could act as a "key," keeping the experience immersive while avoiding the need to enter sensitive personal information. It would combine wordplay, problem-solving, and the satisfying progression that makes Letter Boxed so engaging.
