      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.

              This person isn’t a terrorist.

              Proton also don’t allow temp addresses.

                  Did you read the story? Or are you just here to stir the pot and display your Proton Fanboi bona fides?
