    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.

    I generate my own highly-secure passwords. Anyone who is too lazy to do this should accept the consequences and have the low security they bought. Security Questions - bah! Make sure you don't make them mandatory. In coming to proton, I wanted to get away from the encumbering motherhood and nonsense prevalent at google and microsoft. If it creeps in here, I am gone.
