Password, 2fa, and their backups management, need critique!

Proton Pass can’t import all of 1Password’s data

As I said earlier, Proton Pass doesn’t support some of the item types that 1Password supports. I have over 500+ items in 1P, and could only import about 150+ into Proton Pass.
I have IDs, bank accounts, passports, servers, and all kinds of different types of items saved in 1Password. Not just logins. I know that Proton Pass supports some of them now, but it’s unclear if it recognizes these items when importing them from 1Password.

1Password is more customizable.

When I add a login, I tend to add a lot of additional information beyond the password and username that is useful to me. Like the name (if I used a fake name), the fake DOB, the account creation date, the username of the person who invited me if it’s an exclusive website, etc…

I also like to add information about how to contact support, and I like to separate that information from the information about my account. In 1Password, you can also move around entries up or down, and you can create different sections for entries. You can’t do that in Proton Pass.

I remain hopeful for Proton Pass

I signed up for Proton Pass when it launched. I knew it would probably not compare to 1Password at launch, but I was hoping that within a couple of years it would match 1Password. There are stills some features missing to me. But still, I remain hopeful it will match 1Password’s features.

I also have issues with 1P

That said, I have mild lingering frustrations with 1Password. They have bugs they introduced with 1Password 8, that haven’t been fixed after 4 years. I am also concerned about how much venture capital investment the company has received. Even though they are in the security business, I am not sure if I would count them as strong privacy advocates, in that it seems clear to me, they are primarily motivated by profit.
