I’m using proton services and now the Pass password manager as well. I never let any managers save my bank data such as credit cards or login credentials being sort of afraid to.

Is this concern still valid? when using a manager like Proton Pass that has e2e encryption? what’s your opinion on holding bank data in managers like this?

    It all depends on your personal balance of risk vs convenience.

    Your card details should be secure provided you follow standard security practices. So if you tire of manually inputting them all the time then go ahead.

    If there ever is a vulnerability disclosed you can cancel your cards through your provider and have them re-issued. Finally, if you ever come across fraudulent purchases you can dispute them.

      that is a true concern. however in this case I have a good feature provided by my bank provider, where I can create a virtual-only card, to which I send a fixed balance amount, like $100 and that is all that card have - even tho my account may be at $1000. so given this and the e2e encryption, I guess its probably safe to store - at least the virtual cards
