So #Microsoft #Authenticator could have be used as #passwordManager, but now they inform that they will delete all passwords in August?
Finnish traditionally are on vacation for July. So when people get back to work in August, they won’t remember their AD passwords and now MS in their infinite wisdom decided that you don’t need access to your passwords any more.

Ich suche noch immer unter Linux nach einem rein lokalen Passwordmanager, der zudem OpenSource ist. Gibt es da wirklich nur KeyPassXC? #linux #passwordmanager

Proton Mail gets Newsletter view to manage all email subscriptions in one place:

(That's really cool. Now we can tell normies that Proton Mail has this feature and Gmail doesn't lol)
Proton Pass adds 14 new entry types, option to create custom types:

(Really tempting feature, but personally I would advise against storing every piece of sensitive data in one central database in the cloud. Proton can get hacked any time, like any other company, and also the new Swiss law can force them to hand over all that personal data in plain text, so you can mess up your privacy really badly. I'm not pointing fingers at Proton, but I think this update wasn't quite a good idea, it puts too much responsibility on them.)
