    Depends on how much privacy you need and how much tinkering to get things to work that you’re willing to put up with.

    In general, using a variety of services will be more private than going with a single entity like Proton.

    Bitwarden is self-hostable, which makes it potentially more private than Protonpass… assuming you actually set up the self-hosting.

    Signal isn’t a good long-term plan, as it’s entirely hosted in the US. I don’t think there are currently any known compromises to the encryption model, but iirc the company can see all your communications metadata (which means the government could potentially as well). I don’t mind it for talking with friends, but I would recommend against it for extreme privacy needs (e.g. the government starts getting overzealous with who it counts as enemies of the state, and you or your friends become targets).
