Hey,

Proton Pass is open source and has now passed an independent security audit (by Cure53). The Android and iOS apps source code can be found here, the browser extensions source code for Firefox and Chrome-based browsers (including Edge) can be found here.

Proton has also completed an independent security audit conducted by Cure53 for all Proton Pass applications and browser extensions, along with the Proton API. This was a “white box” audit, meaning the security researchers were given full access to the Proton Pass source code, along with full access to Proton Pass engineers.

More information can be found in the blog post over here. The audit report can also be found in the blog post.

I worry about putting all my eggs (calendar, mail, drive, etc.) in the Proton basket, as much as I like it. I fear a future where they turn evil and I have to de-google my life all over again.

Why should they do that? We are their customers. Google is selling ads. We are googles product for their paying customers, companies.

The good point is, you don‘t have to do that. No one is forced to use all the services provided

Yeah. I've been avoiding Proton in general for this reason.
