Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • “the catch-22 is I would need the password to log into my email to get to the cloud to get my password to log into the email to get to the cloud to recover my passwords”
  • “if my offsite backup is encrypted with a password that is in the vault... I'm screwed.”
  • “not sure how to secure that”
  • “I just find the fact that one’s email being the single point of failure is kind of unfortunate. Couldn’t the email provider just go rogue and have full access to everything?”
  • “Recently there was a case where a game developer had their Protonmail account social engineered and lost a bunch of stuff from it.”
