Locally, an attacker still needs to know your password. A strong password can make it too expensive or impractical to brute force.

Do you have to put in your password on every session in protonmail? If not, then that means that either the key is unencrypted and is stored somewhere else as plaintext or the password is stored somewhere also as plaintext, which would defeat the purpose.
