Nice, great step! Just in case: did you check if you have any forgotten “log in with facebook” linked applications? You might want to check them to see if you have configured an alternative login. If you’re not sure, I very strongly advise you to undo the delete while it is still possible, and go into settings to check for this. When you’re sure you’re all good, you can just delete the account again.
Yeah, great times… i kept using it as long as I could, at some point insta forced me to change my password every single time i opened it due to “suspicious activity”, then they outright banned my account completely. Never looked back (to insta) since.
I’m kind of interested on this as well. I started using proton a few months ago when my ISP stopped supporting mailservers on consumer contracts.
Should I find something else?
For the first issue thats not realy true. To access the totp key you still need the actual device with the key, it’s only now split over multiple devices. Like having multiple bank cards for the same account.
For the seccond issue: Thats a good point, I have not found a good solution for that either, unfortunately
I use vaultwarden (selfhosted bitwarden), which stores both passwords and OTP keys on my own server, which I backup regulary. This allows acces to my OTP keys from any device, as long as it’s in my local network or connected to my VPN.
Must say I really like this solution. If one of my devices fail, I have a pretymuch seamless switch to any of my other devices, which are already configured anyways, since it’s also my passwordmanager.
If the server fails, my phone, pc and laptop all still have the keys cached, so I can use those untill I’ve restored a backup.
Personally I’ve been very happy with time4vps dot eu. I’ve used it for a few years untill I finally started using my own hardware. Their support is (was) super quick and helpfull and just generally friendly. At the time they were quite cheap as well.
