  • Proton Pass now supports passkeys on all devices and plans: Beating Bitwarden to mobile devices

    Jump

  • The point of the post was that Proton Pass is beating Bitwarden right now to having passkeys for mobile (Bitwarden has still not released that), and Proton Pass can actually export passkeys which Bitwarden does not do, so they are improving. I would not say though they are better all round than Bitwarden. I pay for both but am still evaluating the rest of Proton Pass vs Bitwarden especially around tweaks in options. But Proton is showing some innovation and momentum, while Bitwarden is slowing a bit. For those already using Proton they will likely find Proton Pass good enough to use right now.

  • True and Matrix is very versatile if you look at what Beeper achieved. Yet it has been around a long time and has never gone big time. The thing though with replacing text SMS, is it has to also comply with what the mobile phone companies use at that level, and I don't Matrix has ever pitched that to them? This is not about the high level messaging we do at app level.

  • Well, at least say WHY? We know we can't trust Apple (because of the recent backdoor that had to be closed down), Facebook because of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Microsoft because the NSA were given first access to vulnerabilities before patching), the NSA because of the CLOUD Act), etc as these are all documented, analysed and reported on. Your comment really adds zero value to the debate. Proton is under Swiss law for a start, which has a way higher barrier to entry for law enhancement to get any access to metadata. In the USA the law enforcement just buys that data from data brokers. Proton is not in the business of advertising.

  • A problem I've noticed is I've had one person using RCS, then a month or two later I noticed they'd reverted to text. They seemed to know nothing about RCS and claims they never disabled it. So not sure if that was maybe a phone upgrade. Others I've not had issues with.

  • The thing also is we can't replace text SMS unless that mode can be phased out, so it needs everyone to adopt whatever the next step is.

  • No, an ad would have come out when it was launched, and an ad would try to sell something?

  • The "better" though is over plain text SMS message which we have to pay per message. I use Signal but less than a handful of friends use it so it does not help me much on that front.

  • True, just hope they eventually get passkeys for mobile.

  • Probably best to see their comparison but free account mainly excludes Integrated 2FA authenticator and only has two vaults, but unlimited logins. I'm on the unlimited account (for VPN and mail) so can't check for sure.

  • I'm using the browser add-on in Linux across all my browsers. I do have the Bitwarden app for Linux, but to be honest I never open it as it is a pain to have to open a separate app, and then copy and paste. Isn't it just more seamless to let it replace the browser password manager on Linux? If I want to tidy up my Bitwarden vault, I also do that in the browser.

  • And yet I missed their announcement about their passkeys. In today's competitive world, I think any company that does not advertise in some way, is really not going to survive (as much as I don't like ads either). Maybe I don't see that much as I am paying.

  • Hence word "official" not being mentioned. As I recall it was spotted in the code.

  • What does your desktop look like?

  • KDE Plasma on Manjaro Linux

    • Desktop folder pinned to left screen for working stuff
    • Conky on my 3rd screen for monitoring resources
    • Plasma Activity folder on 3rd screen for general folders used often (On Gaming and Video Recording activities this folder differs for those activities)
    • Golobonotes pinned notes on 3rd screen fore commonly accessed references

  • It stands for Long Range, so would otherwise have been LR.

  • Signal usage survey, what versions do you use? Wanted for potential Flatpak adoption

    Jump

  • The post here is a link to an online survey being done by the Signal Community. Users need to follow the link to answer the survey if they wish (but it means creating yet another new account which I'm getting pretty tired of as I'm now passing over 900 different logins all with unique passwords etc ;-)

  • Fast to open, search, sync compared to? To answer generally, though - no lags or long waiting for anything to happen.

  • When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.

    Jump

  • Yes Linux Mint. You CAN migrate later to other distros without losing your data so feel free to test others out later when you feel ready and know more about them.

  • Ah got you, it is just text though so the syncing is pretty quick and light. I'd say way less than any site hosting images and videos. The default is no sync, so users need to set that up to sync too. It attempts to do smart sync between successful syncs.

  • In what way though? If you're self-hosting you just keep your server online. It does not need that central server at all to operate. Even if there are no updates it keeps running.

  • It can be self-hosted as well so that server is not essential to the service...
