    For the record, Bitwarden also has email aliasing built-in when generating a username:

      Yeah, but with Proton, the email service is built-in, while BitWarden relies on an external service (say a domain you use for catch-all).

        Bitwarden supports AnonAddy, DuckDuckGo, Fastmail, Firefox Relay, and SimpleLogin. I use it with my paid SimpleLogin account using the SimpleLogin default email domain (configurable in your settings - can be a SL-owned domain or your own).

        I’m guessing ProtonPass just uses SimpleLogin on the backend since SimpleLogin is owned by Proton. I don’t think there’s really much difference unless you count 1-party being an advantage instead of 2-party.

        Edit: O there is a difference in cost - not sure if this is what you meant. Bitwarden+SL will cost more (assuming introductory $1/month pricing on ProtonPass)

          It’s great that Bitwarden integrates with other services. It’s just very convenient to have it completely built in, especially for inexperienced users. You don’t need to do any setup, and if the password manager is smart enough to suggest using an alias automatically when a registration requires an email address, it’s a no-brainer.

              I don’t know, but there’s no denying that it’s more convenient. Whether you see that as a relevant advantage is up to you.
