This gives us a chance to use our own domain, which provides trust to those we communicate but does it all through the ProtonMail servers making everything fully encrypted. Lastly, ProtonMail now also offers the ability to link your domain name with your account and upgrade for premium features. See: Private Email Providers on PrivacyTools.io This gives us a chance to sort of impose the level of security we want on those we are communicating with. Alongside this, ProtonMail allows you to encrypt emails to users who do not have a ProtonMail account using their secure reply feature. This allows really sensitive communications to take place within a set period of time, thus reducing the chance of them getting leaked to an unwanted party. Another feature I really like is self-destructing emails. Even if someone gets into my Bitwarden account, they aren’t getting into my email. This allows me to store the first password in my Bitwarden Vault and the second in my head. There are ways to employ fully encrypted email without using a dual password method but I prefer typing in two different passwords every time I log in. The first password accesses your encrypted mailbox and the second password decrypts it. The first great security feature is the use of two passwords in the login process. ProtonMail also employs some great security features that actively work to keep both your account safe, and your communications completely private. It is free, open source, and they have zero access to user data. Based out of Switzerland, ProtonMail providers end to end encrypted email that keeps your communications private. ProtonMail however, was marketing itself as the all-inclusive solution for encrypted email. However, Yahoo was only putting in a minimal effort to keep me safe, and Gmail, although secure from hackers and account breaches, was not fully encrypted. Before coming across the ProtonMail crowdfunding campaign, I was an avid user of email services like Yahoo and Gmail.
