I have had a tutanota encrypted email account for some years, don't use it much. I saw the security news about tuta anti quantum encryption... so I logged in. I saw I had some email from them about their new domain @tuta.com, and to sign-up. I had logged into my current (old) account ok with 2fa, but it was unclear to me how to establish new account incorporating my old account. Then I checked the website's fingerprint on my computer (using firefox) and then from grc fingerprints service and grc says: one or more errors: "the SSL/TLS security certificate obtained from the remote server was invalid"
grc could not pull the tuta fingerprint for comparison. I am finding this VERY ODD for an email security website. Anyone using tuta, any idea about the certificate...:unsure::sick:

It's possible that there might be a temporary issue with the SSL/TLS certificate or it could be an issue with the grc fingerprint service. I'd suggest reaching out to Tutanota support directly for clarification. They should be able to guide you through the process of establishing a new account incorporating your old account as well.
 
UPDATE further "investigation" probably some snafu with grc fingerprint service. Qualys SSL gives tuta a "A" (but not an A+).
