Proton Mail came under scrutiny for its role in a legal request by the Spanish authorities leading to the identification and arrest of a user.

    What would be a more appropriate email address to use - or just no recovery email?

      It’s best for anonymity to not use one at all. Proton provides a recovery key to allow access to your account if you manage to lock yourself out. Keep that key somewhere safe/secure.

        Thank you. Recovery key seems like a better route for sure

      Ideally no recovery mail or you can create burner gmail account with a vpn
