“SimpleLogin will continue working as a separate service, and the SimpleLogin team will continue building new features and adding functionality but now with the benefit of Proton’s infrastructure and security engineering capabilities.” “If you already use SimpleLogin with ProtonMail, things will continue to work the same as before,” he says. Proton will also be maintaining SimpleLogin as a separate service, per Yen.
Proton’s plan is to more deeply integrate SimpleLogin functionality into ProtonMail - meaning its wider user base will be able to hide their email addresses using SimpleLogin without having to sign up separately for the latter service. “ProtonMail protects your data privacy with encryption, while SimpleLogin prevents malicious actors from discovering your actual email address by hiding your email.” “SimpleLogin is a complementary service to ProtonMail,” he adds. In a blog post announcing the acquisition, Proton’s founder and CEO Andy Yen also flags the overlap, writing: “We have been following SimpleLogin closely for a long time as many ProtonMail users utilize it to prevent their ProtonMail addresses from being leaked to spammers.”
