After rolling out its password manager to a limited number of users in April, Proton has finally released the service to the general public. The tool, called Proton Pass, uses end-to-end encryption to keep your usernames and passwords away from third parties, including Proton itself. It also lets you create and store randomly generated email aliases that you can use in place of your real address.

I guess to me, being open source is more about the ability that it can be audited. I don't care whatsoever about hosting my own proton mail / drive / vpn (which I use constantly all the time) but I do care if it's audited and secure.

That said, I know they claim to be open source and audited, but I've never double checked those claims. Probably should.
