Today, we are launching Proton Sentinel, a high-security program that will allow our teams and systems to better protect users who need the most security. This program was motivated by our years of experience serving high-profile people and organizations from around the world. Some of our most security-demanding users include journalists from the largest publications, governments of several countries, leaders of international peace organizations, heads of major religions, and members of parliaments. Accounts such as these have a high risk of being attacked by criminals or state-backed hackers. We are now ready to provide the same level of advanced protection and support that we reserved for these VIPs to any Proton user that wants it through the Proton Sentinel program.

    A fair bit of questions unanswered.

    • Why shouldn’t we just enable Sentinel?
    • How do we disable it?
    • Will apps normally stay logged in?
    • How would the experience be across platforms when combined with Fido2 / Yubikey?

    I wish Proton made an easy to use recovery sheet that we could print out, similar to 1Password.

      • It may make it more difficult to login such as 2FA code, geo location etc. More logs on logins, such as OS and so forth.
      • I enabled it and it allows me to disable from the same settings screen.
      • I was not signed out of any of my apps on any devices after enabling.
      • I’m not sure about security keys and this yet.

      Also AI based, so it will probably be something that learns typical login behavior’s such as geo-location, time of day, what service was used etc to ensure it matches your habits, if not or for extra security extra login steps required.
