All services have outages. The difference is that when Outlook goes out (https://uptime.qodex.ai/outlook/incidents), it's a happy occasion because nobody can work and we all take an hour off, but when something like Proton goes offline, we're the only ones who can't access our important stuff.

Anyway, point is, Proton is generally very reliable, but shit happens.

Yeah, just the timing couldn't feel worse in my case. Right after doing some security shuffling and signing up. recency bias

> All services have outages.

I've found this to be true too, that's why I've moved most of my personal email to my own email servers, so at least I can decide when those outages happen, as they tend to mostly happen when you do some changes, not just randomly by themselves. At once you've setup monitoring and recovery for the usual suspects (disks, network, etc).

That's great. Relying on a third party as your means of authentication and communication with the world always has inherent risk.
