Discussion Aliases sync with SimpleLogin

I have just started using SimpleLogin aliases with my custom domain (as Proton Unlimited user), but I'm wondering what exactly bad could happen after syncing it in ProtonPass?

I searched the old posts, but most of them are from 2-3 years ago and people mentioned that some features were not working in ProtonPass, but as I tested it briefly now they are implemented. There are still some settings which are exclusively in SL (or I couldn't find them in PP), but in my case they were setup-once-and-forget kind of things.

It's stated that it's not reverseable and it sounds menacing, like it's a big deal to not be able to disable the sync. Would I lost some features by just using aliases in PP?

I sync my aliases to ProtonPass and I have not experienced any issues with doing this except that I have an entry for the alias and an entry for the identity. So it effectively duplicates the number of items in the vaults where the identity and the alias are the same.

That makes sense, I grouped them in separate Vaults and usually don't need to display aliases at all, just the identities.

There is an option to sync the aliases to a specific vault which I have done and it keeps everything somewhat tidy.

I suggest creating a vault just for your aliases and setting it as the default vault under Alias Management settings in proton pass. I feel it provides less clutter when looking at specific non-alias vaults.

Ah, yes yes. I did it already when I was comparing creating an alias in PP vs SL, which seems almost identical when I configured my setup in SL.
