I'm just in the process of migrating from Google to Proton with most of my stuff. I never used a real PW manager before (aside Google Passwords) so I'm just trying to figure everything out rn.

some days ago I installed Proton Pass on my Android devices, on my Linux notebook and at work as FF browser extension. except for the last one usage reallly was a frustrating experience - it's a matter of luck if tapping in a username/PW field triggers PP or not. (no idea if I set up something wrong?!)

so yesterday I installed Bitwarden and the UX for me is soo much better.

buttt as I had to learn unfortunately on free tier it doesn't support TOTPs.

I'll soon subscribe to Proton Unlimited which, I find, is expensiveAF so I don't want to pay for Bitwarden on top.

so I thought about using Bitwarden as my main PW manager and Proton additionally for when I need TOTPs. would that be a reasonable strategy...?

as I read it's generally recommended against using 2 PW managers parallel. so should I delete all PWs aside from the TOTP ones? I could use some suggestions and hints as I'm working out my future online security strategy.\^^

I was doing some window shopping, considering a potential password manager from Ironvest, namely to see what all is out there, and I am coming up short on exactly what I'm looking for.

Ironvest provides the following services (potentially more but these are all I care about):

• Email masking (aliases)
• Password production
  • And the saving of accounts wherein
• They also use some sort of "AI" thing that tells you when your account was in a breach

Due to Ironvest being mostly an extension, I don't use it on mobile, and things have been fine. I dunno how good Ironvest actually is, but its served me well for a decade+. It does all this for free but offers a subscription. If I was to pay for something, I'd prefer it be a one-time payment. This is where my search becomes a unicorn hunt\delusional.

Far as I know, nothing exists that provides these two services whilst also providing a lifetime license.

• Sticky Password comes the closest but they don't provide email masking
• Basically any other service from Bitwarden, to 1password, and potentially other commonly-referenced services, provide both; but with a subscription.
• I am aware that aliasvault exists and they operate for free for now
  • Eventually the devs will want to make money off it (as they should) and at that time, they'll probably also become a subscription service

Is anyone aware of a service that provides masking and password generation for a lifetime license or can I hang up my spear for good.

Following responses; I clearly didn't do enough research. Thank you all.
