Dear Proton Team,
As a long-standing Proton Unlimited user, I wanted to share my thoughts, like many others did, on this feature.
I’ve been extensively using most of your services—Mail, Drive, VPN, and Calendar—and I’m consistently impressed by the level of privacy and usability you provide. For a long time, I relied on a separate password manager for storing and managing my credentials, while using Proton Pass primarily for hide-my-email aliases and less critical passwords.
Recently, I decided to migrate my passwords entirely to Proton Pass due to its excellent usability, the wonderful Pass Monitor feature, and the overall seamless experience. To that end, I updated my master password, which was a complex but unmemorable password, to a complex but memorable one.
However, like others, I feel uneasy about using the same master password—the encryption key—for all Proton services. My primary concern is the potential risk of my encryption key being compromised while using a less sensitive service. Even with 2FA enabled, if the encrypted data were ever leaked in a breach, someone could just decrypt all the data and access it. This isn’t just about protecting the account anymore; it’s about protecting the data itself.
While I understand that the current unified encryption model works well for most users, I personally feel it would be beneficial to have the option for separate encryption keys for different services. For instance, I’d like to use one encryption key for Proton Pass, another for Mail and Drive, and I wouldn’t mind using my Proton account master password for calendar and VPN, as these contain very different types of sensitive information. This would ensure that even in the event of a breach, exposure is limited to one category of data, providing an additional layer of security.
Of course, I would still be deeply concerned if someone accessed my emails or Drive files, but it feels significantly riskier to have all my passwords tied to the same encryption key. And with hardware security keys like Yubikey protecting account access, it’s possible to prevent unauthorized login attempts. The challenge is more about protecting what malicious actors could decrypt if they ever obtained both the encryption key and the encrypted data.
I truly appreciate the work you do to provide a secure ecosystem for your users, and I hope you will consider adding this feature to provide greater flexibility and control over encryption keys for those who desire it.
Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback.
