Title; Seems like they are giving out a free 1-year plan, as long as you claim the offer before October 31st.

Seems to be legit, as it's coming from their own website. I am currently using their offered plans too, and it works.

@Scrollone @stifle867 it doesn’t seem very professional or well run. Reminds me a little of Mozilla. Both focus on many thinks and do an average (to bad) job rather than doing fewer things with a focus on excellence.

Exactly. It does feel like they're losing their focus. It's especially noticeable when it comes to feature parity across devices and basic things that never get fixed.

I understand they probably have "different teams" working on the different products which a lot of companies use as a cover to say that the resources spent on the new projects don't "take away" from the old ones. We can see how that has turned out in the video game industry where they can pump out microtransactions on a broken game.

It's especially galling how they want money for the ability to store multiple logins through their app.

Just login through a mobile browser and it will store multiple logins AND has a better interface. WTF?

Are you talking about Proton or Dashlane?

Nobody mentioned Dashlane in this thread so take a guess.
