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.

For my own stuff, I do prefer Bitwarden over Proton Pass. Simply because having a lot of stuff in Proton and if then ending up being locked out feels like a too high risk.

I even have some stuff in https://www.passwordstore.org/ where it's synchronised to some (encrypted) locations and internal storage servers ... especially stuff which can help me if I get locked out of Bitwarden.

Don't put all your eggs into the same basket. Avoid the SPOF.

That said, for Proton accounts where I'm the admin - I would recommend Proton Pass these days, as it provides ease of convenience. Where less technical users has only one "platform" to relate to. If these users gets locked out; I have a chance to help them recovering again.
