    Yeah. Even if they couldn’t hand over recovery emails, having a personal email as a backup to a “private and sensitive” email account is bad practice.

      But what do you do if that field is needed? A throwaway address won’t work as it’s easy to recreate. Buy your own domain and run a server?

        I put the Simplelogin email alias as my backup mail. Which forwards mail to my proton, so I guess it isn’t really a backup. Even more so if you realize I need to sign into simplelogin with my protonmail account and protonmail owns Simplelogin.

        I don’t believe you need that field with Proton, correct me if I’m wrong. If you do need that field with an email provider, and you need complete opsec, use a different provider.

        No, domain names are tied to a person and, even if that person register the domain with fake person details, there will be a digital payment associated with the purchase.

        Proton doesn’t require recovery. But if you want recovery without email addresses, there’re multiple different ways from recovery phases to recovery phone number to even an encrypted recovery file you download onto a local device.
