I'm thinking on potentionally subscribing for an Unlimited with a student discount.

Are you satisfied with it's current services? I've seen mixed reviews from ProtonVPN. Someone loves it, someone despises it. Also does Proton Pass offer any convenience benefits over Bitwarden?

I feel like its pretty great. The additional VPN connections are nice and you can set it up on your router too.

SimpleLogin is the biggest benefit from the email options for sure. Unlimited aliases plus you can setup unique domains which then allow you to make email addresses up on the fly.

Drive now syncing with photos on smart phones is super nice. Also awesome to be able to share files from Drive to anyone. You can set passwords and/or time frames for the link access too.

I'm staying with Bitwarden + Aegis as it seems like too much of my data in one place using Pass for passwords and 2FA.

Calendar is cool, nice knowing it's setup with zero-knowledge encryption. You can also share events with folks that use any calendar.

With the Standard Notes news, I'm hoping this will result in having some of the bells and whistles that Standard Notes gives paying customers. But I haven't found anything regarding this so far.

All in all, it's worth the price for sure. All security focused with the ability to make it the backbone of your online privacy too.
