    I have been using Proton Mail for about 6 months now. I do not share the email address for the account with anyone. I don't send or receive email to that address. I don't want anyone to know that email address because someone can try to access my account with it.

    Now I have learned that the 5 aliases that I created to compartmentalize and protect myself form login attempts has been null and void. Any alias can login to the same account. I am mystified as to why an alias could be used to login to the account. Using the Plus feature does nothing except to perhaps track the original leak for later spam. The main account address is still exposed.

    So, I now have 6 sets of keys to a door which I thought there was only one and it was hidden in my pocket. I can create true aliases at iCloud, Outlook, Gmail and Mailbox which cannot be used to login to the account.

    Why are Proton aliases just extra sets of keys? What is the point? Why don't we have true alias email addresses? I was liking Proton a lot until I discovered that all I've done is place flashing red signs across the internet for gaining access to my account.
