Clarify alias synced behavior during delete action in Proton Pass or SimpleLogin
Add this message to clarify what happens when deleting aliases from Proton Pass or SimpleLogin when sync is enabled between the two: "Deleting an alias here deletes it from both Proton Pass and SimpleLogin. Once deleted, the alias cannot be restored to either Proton Pass or SimpleLogin."

Also to mention the sync problems. I only have 101 aliases, but I see it says 141, likely due to deletions. But I have no visible trash!
"Aliases out of sync (141)
We detected that you have 141 aliases that are present in SimpleLogin but missing in Proton Pass. Would you like to import them?" -

Yeah, this behavior is just insane. I lost ALL of my aliases, hundreds. All because I just wanted to test PP, and then when I didn't like the experience I wanted to remove all my entries from PP. I did not receive a single popup using the method I did to clear out PP that all of my SimpleLogin aliases were going to be irreversibly deleted.
Why? Who thought this was a good design?

result of me not realizing how the sync and delete worked: my hundreds of aliases are gone irreversibly, and I will have to update all my accounts that I used the aliases to sign into, which many services don't allow you to do without confirming through an email to the existing address.
