With more people in the team, feature development is also faster, so look for more announcements in the coming days. SimpleLogin will also be able to leverage Proton’s expertise in email and application security, and benefit from Proton Mail’s anti-abuse and anti-spam technologies in order to solve increasing challenging abuse issues at scale.īy working together, we have already hardened SimpleLogin’s infrastructure, performed a security audit of SimpleLogin’s code, and improved our monitoring to ensure we can quickly act in case of attacks. With a 24/7 team, SimpleLogin infra will also have a better uptime and incidents (if any) will be solved much faster. SimpleLogin will benefit from Proton infrastructure and expertise of running an email service that’s been battle-tested.

SimpleLogin will continue to operate as an independent service and SimpleLogin SAS will continue to be based in Paris, France.

SimpleLogin will continue to develop (but now with additional resources from Proton).

SimpleLogin stays email provider agnostic (SimpleLogin remains compatible with all email services).

SimpleLogin’s current model will continue (100% open source).

In terms of values and philosophy, Proton and SimpleLogin are well-aligned. Many of you also like Proton, as quite a few SimpleLogin users are also using Proton Mail. We like Proton’s mission and its transparency, open-source nature, and user-first culture. Proton has been an inspiration for SimpleLogin. Proton is a Swiss privacy company best known for Proton Mail (the world’s largest encrypted email service) and Proton VPN (one of the world’s largest VPN services). SimpleLogin has received a lot of positive feedback from the privacy community and with your help, we have built many new features while maintaining high reliability and stability.

SimpleLogin’s mission is to protect your online identity and we follow a transparency model since the beginning: the code is 100% open source and product development decisions are discussed openly with the community. After more than a year of coding, we launched a beta version in 2020 and a public version at the beginning of 2021. I’m now happy to share this news with you: SimpleLogin is now part of the Proton family. The past 6 months have been intense for SimpleLogin, with many new users, many new features, and many new technical challenges.
