 I’ve been into #BTC long enough to know, “not your keys, not your coins”. 

This wallet looks to have proton hold and store your passphrase.

BTW I am a visionary member of proton dating back to the go fund me days. And generally love the product…

I also lost my shirt on MT.Gox.

STAY SAFE OUT THERE!

 This is incorrect, Proton Wallet does not store the passphrase, see details in our security model:

 Thanks. At least the article is honest…It is clear Proton supports human right and freedom from evil regimes.

“For those with a lot of BTC, Proton Wallet is not designed to replace hardware wallets but rather a secure complement to them.” -Proton Wallet

They are honest in the “Threat Model” sections. READ THIS. (It’s the threat you don’t identify that kills you)

The article is unclear if a wallet with both a seed phrase and pass phrase will need both to be recovered from a non-proton self custody wallet.
