Right, thanks for clearing up! I didnt catch that it was in some other date format.
Aha! That was not super clear to me but makes sense, i guess. Although I guess password reset isnt the most usefuk feature in that scenario.
Well i think it is probably best to enforce it that was not my comment. I meant that the sign up flow would best guide the user to set it up. It could perhaps allow for skipping.
I do personally think MFA is an essential security measure these days. Where passkeys are obviously preferred for anti phishing and UX.

ah, yes, to at least have it as an option in the signup flow is a good idea, thanks for the suggestion!
And yes, I agree, Passkey is superior to TOTP in most aspects. Passkey-support is on our roadmap already

So what you’re saying is, you’re coming for Ente’s throat? Just kidding. 
I welcome this kind of competition. Hopefully Ente and ZeitKapsl will compel Proton Drive to up their game when it comes to storing photos and videos. This looks very promising! And the pricing seems quite competitive, especially for the lower tiers.
1) Out of curiosity, what does ZeitKapsl mean? And it what language is it?
With everything that has been going on with GrapheneOS, and other privacy companies in the EU, I have come to realize that not all EU countries are created equal when it comes to privacy protections.
My understanding is that EU law supersedes national law, but that EU countries can pass stronger laws, as long as they don’t infrige EU laws. That’s why some EU countries have better privacy protection than others, because local laws strengthen existing EU laws. With that in mind, can you tell us:
2) Under which EU countrie(s) is ZeitKapsl based?
Loosely off-topic, but I love that cryptographers are re-appropriating the shorthand crypto.
I have seen cryptocurrency enthusiasts online complain about it being used for cryptography, when the latter was first.
That is a great policy. We’ve seen how venture capital can spoil a really cool project (Skiff).
This is going to sound silly, but I really appreciate that you don’t present your annual plans as monthly costs. To be specific, I don’t have an issue with companies showing how much annual plans cost monthly. I have an issue with them emphasizing that information over the annual cost, because to me, it is misleading, and the latter is what users will be actually paying. Hence, IMO, it should be what they see first.
Another detail I appreciate is you being on Mastodon. I think it’s very important for privacy companies and public figures, not only to be on it, but to be active on it. Quite a few influential privacy voices fail at this, unfortunately.
I look forward to trying out your service!
My best guess is Austria.

Yeah the company behind it seems to be based in Vienna, Austria.
