For context, in my password manager I had tried formatting some of my entrees so that it would contain the usual username and password, but instead of creating whole new entrees for the security questions for the same account, I just added additional fields in the same entree in order to keep things a little more tidy.

I was not expecting that doing so would result in later being shaken down by Proton to pay even more money just to access the same few bytes of fucking text I had trusted them with. This is sleazy as fuck and I am dropping these idiots entirely.

Will host that myself eventually, but a little scared by hardware prices. All I have is a desktop PC with a 700W PSU, probably unsuitable as a home lab.

I've been homelabbing for a couple years now, and it's still just a desktop PC with a 450W PSU, it even has a Jellyfin server with some light transcoding. I'd highly recommend trying out a server you don't mind breaking and play around, you'd be surprised what you can do!
