Proton pass

Guys I use proton mail and proton pass but the issue I have is that how can I have a secure password for proton mail with 2fa if I use proton pass? If I have a less difficult password then I am lowering my security and If I want to have a 2fa (with local encrypted file) then I have to save it on some secure cloud, which for me is proton drive or mega then again I have those passwords saved in proton pass so I would have to login to proton pass first, If I lower password of those apps then again it risks security. ( I am sorry I am so confused). Please help!

Either have a strong password and write it down somewhere, or use another password manager for proton? That seems kinda unnecessary though. Would be nice if proton supported yubikey or passkey or something.

Proton pass is a password manager but it uses the same account as proton mail. So I can’t have a secure password for proton mail as I would have to use it to login to proton pass first.

Password manager inception. Sign up for last pass, and bitwarden, and Google auth and Ms auth. Get a burner phone and rotate and change passwords monthly.

…sorry for my useless post.

Proton warns to not use 2fa from Proton Pass for your Proton account.

Yes. I seem to recall that it will change later on, but i don’t know when

Yeah, from what I’ve read the best approach is a different service for 2fa and/or something involving backups and a physical safe.

Okay yeah I’ll admit that’s pretty bad, haha. The only password I actually know nowadays is the passphrase to my Keepass database, which clocks in at 40 characters. I rarely say this to people, but have you considered a shorter password? :P

I don’t even know my master password :D I use some script to generate it and I just copy+paste it.
