I’ve been paying for proton mail for a couple years now. Decided to stick with Bitwarden when proton announced their password manager as I liked it more. Based on this fiasco I gave it a second look and so far I’ve been liking it. I haven’t committed to abandoning Bitwarden, but I’m certainly on track to.

They're not really comparable since Bitwarden has the source available for auditing and Proton Pass (server) does not.

Heh, this is exactly what I went through today. I'm a paid Proton user, but ignored Proton Pass when it came out because I was already well-entrenched with BitWarden. Decided today to give it a real look. Generally pretty pleased with what I'm seeing, though I'm not entirely committed to shifting platforms.
