  • Because it’s all built in. Proton password manager can create a new login for a site. In the same process it also generates a password, creates a new email with a domain that can’t be linked back to me, with no setup on my end. Technically I can set up bitwarden to do that but it’s a lot of configuration and it will end up using my domain for every email which, even if it can’t be linked back to me, all of my email addresses can be linked to each other by merit of using the same domain.

    Until there is a major competitor to Proton that solves all of that, there is no alternative.




  • When I was a young warthog, I needed my first username. I thought to myself “what’s cool, that I can base my name on?” “Gansters are cool!” “How about Al Capone? He’s cool. He is even a good person. He invented milk expiration dates or something like that.” “But I can’t just have that name, I have to make it cooler. I’ll write it using l337 speak.”

    Thus, my username “alkpwn” (plus some numbers because it was taken on Xbox live) was born.

    Quickly, I realized people didn’t always understand it. They would have trouble pronouncing it when they saw it in halo 2. From “Al capn” to “Alk pawn”, I got all sorts of pronunciations.

    My friends ended up just shortening it to Alk. And here we are.
