Same here, I can highly recommend Proton Pass and everything Proton offers. I've been a customer of theirs since 2018.
The other night, however, I made a potentially fatal mistake. Late one evening before bed, I got it into my head that the last thing I should do before sleeping was change my account password. I changed it, updated it in Proton Pass as well, and then fell asleep. The next morning, I was logged out of all apps linked to Proton (including Proton Pass). So my new password, which was needed to log in to access all my passwords, was locked away. Biometrics (fingerprint login) had been reset so that didn't work either - which I had counted on using for the login.
In the end, I managed to sort it out via a recovery address, but it could have ended with me having to start over from scratch. I was saved by the fact that I was still logged in via their webmail, where I changed the password.
Being a parent of young children might be a mitigating circumstance, but it was careless.
Proton really works as it should and I'm grateful for that, even if it could have cost me.
So recovery addresses and recovery phrases is my message, in case 'disaster' strikes.
Also writing down the password on a paper if needed is something I will do from now on.
