Thoughts on use of another person’s email as a recovery option in Protonmail

There’s an option, which can be disabled, to get your data back if you connect from a recognized device. I know this because I briefly tried switching to Proton Authenticator from Google Authenticator. Turns out at the time you had to be logged into Proton to use your Proton Authenticator, which I then needed to log into my proton account. I don’t know if it still works like that. My recovery keys were out of date as well. I was briefly very nervous, thinking I had lost all my passwords, until it recognized my device and decrypted the data somehow. Now I use Aegis, vaultwarden, and a couple FIDO 2 keys. I wonder how many other people did this when Proton Authenticator came out.
