I signed up to ProtonMail in March '14 but did not actually get the
account until December '14. That's 9 months later.

I have one pair of keys generated (for both .ch and .com), generated on
the day I setup the account, which for me was on the day ProtonMail made
it available to me in December '14.

If you have any doubts on current ProtonMail keypair(s) you have, I
strongly recommend you login in to webmail, goto settings, select keys,
and generate new keypair(s), mark them as primary, then mark obsolete or
compromised the keypair(s) that are in doubt, you can then delete from
your account if needed.
