So I don’t really even know if I should be making this post, but I’m not sure what else to do.

Yesterday I went to login to my account and it said my login credentials were invalid. I thought no worries, new site, someone may have found a way to hack my password and change my account. So I created this account.

I had both of these passwords saved into my password manager. I went to try logging into my “old” account and both logins were deleted from my password manager.

Anyone good at security that could tell me how this breach could happen. And if I should be worried about being on some sort of watch list or whatever. No other passwords that I can tell have been deleted.

    So it seems this is being looked at by the devs.

    For others looking to have multiple accounts, but not wanting a ton of email addresses, you can modify a Proton Mail account pretty easily and it's accepted in the forms here.

    For example, if my email is JohnBrown420@protonmail.com and I want to make a unique email for each account I have, I could make accounts xXx69420xXx and JBRulez using JohnBrown420+xXx69420xXx@protonmail.com and JohnBrown420+JBRulez@protonmail.com. These would register as unique emails for ChaCha, and would allow easy filtering in the client, but they would all go to the original email account.

    That way, if you ever have an account where you forget your password, all recovery emails actually end up in the same Proton Mail account, and you don't have to worry about which email goes where.

      I don’t think this is an issue with Chacha at all and I would honestly take this post down, but there’s been some good information shared like your reply so I think I’ll keep it up, but if the mods would prefer I remove it I have no problem.
