Frequently asked questions

Can I run inside a docker container?

You can run inside docker but the application will not be able to reach any keyring to store safely any encryption key. You will need to use the local file system to store your encryption keys which is unsafe. To use the local file system:

1. Ensure you are logged out by doing pass-cli logout --force
2. Set the environment variable PROTON_PASS_KEY_PROVIDER to fs.
3. Login as you normally would.

Do you send any telemetry?

We send anonymized telemetry that never includes any personal or sensitive data. It only sends what action was done (like item created of type note with client X) but never send any contents or anything that can be used to track any data or user. We use this information to try to make the product better.

Can I disable telemetry?

Certainly! There are many ways of disabling it. If you want to disable it for this application you can set an environment variable PROTON_PASS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY. If the environment variable is set telemetry will not be saved and the currently saved locally will be cleared.

If you want to disable it globally you can go to your Account security settings and disable Collect usage diagnostics
