Maybe I'll be able to reach other ProtonMail users here - does anyone else have persistent issues logging in to the web client? I use Firefox, LastPass, and Authy for 2FA. I have to try 6-7 times to log in every time, it drives me nuts. If it weren't for the mobile app I would have dumped this service long ago (for which I pay $50/year). This is the only site where I have issues logging in.

Might be an issue with LastPass. Bank login pages in my country acted weirdly with Lastpass. I've since switched to Bitwarden and haven't faced any issues.
I've been using ProtonMail for about a year and I've never had an issue logging in. The web client is the primary interface I use.
Do you have multiple protonmail accounts? Lastpass behaves poorly when you have multiple accounts at the same domain. It will overwrite the password selection with the default/other account if you login too quickly.
I’ve stopped using ProtonMail because the mobile client (iOS) kept logging me out at seemingly random intervals. With two passwords and TOTP it became a real hassle. Especially as notifications would stop, and I would only notice once I opened the app (why would I if I don’t get a notification?).
Why don't you try contacting protonmail's support rather than being offtopic here?
I have never had problems logging in. I use my ProtonMail credentials in Firefox, Chrome, and Brave, and FaceId on the iPhone. Zero issues in over a year of using it.

Have you tried contacting their support team?
