    they need plaintext because they send you a recovery code or a support ticket

    Sure, but we’re talking about architectural choices. It is Proton’s choice to use that system; it is not required for the goal of account recovery.

      Well yes but you could just set another Proton account as recovery and not your email which you used to sign up to everything…

          Well… I did… Idk

          Well on the other hand you can just not be a terrorist (for that case)

          You can also set a temporary mail if another Proton isn’t working. There are enough ways around such restrictions.

              The person is a terrorist by definition and Proton does allow temp addresses simply because they cant enforce that you don’t just set up a SMTP server on your pc and get a temporary mail from that…

              They are privacy focused but you don’t have to use their services for committing treason and plan terrorist actions/actions against a state when you are to dumb to not use your go to email as recovery.

                  I question if you’ve read the story. Its a very clear case that is painted in the story.

                    Its a very clear case that is painted in the story.

                    Indeed it is. The police asked and Proton provided. Very clear indeed.

                    At last, something we can agree on.
