[QUOTE="notabot, post: 843307, member: 75970"] To enter your account and read emails they need your decryption password, or if you only use a single password for both authentication and decryption the single password. Even before 2FA proton could reset your password but of course you lost access to your encrypted emails as they had no way to recover those. 2FA is one of the two authentication steps, I know of no email provider who can't turn it off as this would mean there could be no account recovery. 2FA is irrelevant to decrypting your emails, it's used only for authentication. If the question is how do you know ProtonMail despite their claims does not store your decryption password as well, then monitoring the traffic between the local javascript application and their server can answer that, tbh if someone had caught something like that, ProtonMail would probably lose all their clients, I'm not saying it could never happened but nobody has made this claim so far.
