How to log in and sign out on ProtonMail

More and more people are becoming aware of the importance that confidentiality has online, as something that seems negotiable for many services and internet companies, and even the users.
Unfortunately, this translates into losing privacy as a right and civil liberty when third parties have access to our very emails and private messages. This is not the case with ProtonMail as platform developed under the opposite approach.
With ProtonMail, confidentiality and privacy are guaranteed in terms of messages and personal information a service of this type may have. For instance, every email is end-to-end and zero-access encrypted, including also hardware level protection and other protocols that guarantee complete security, confidentiality and impossibility of third party.
Not even Protonmail has access to the customer´s emails and IPs are not logged or track at any given time.
