This + Yubikey is why I'm still on Bitwarden. I think this is important.

Critical function

Background:
Important information is stored in proton and it would be valuable to allow access to certain individuals if I were to become incapacitated or incapable of logging in to my accounts.

Feature(s):
If I do not login to a proton service for X days/months/years, first send me an email with a reminder to my backup email address (if i have one). If I do not login after receiving initial notification of pending deadman switch, send email to defined email addresses with a particular, custom email message

Use-case:
If I become incapacitated or incapable of logging in, my custom message will be sent to trusted peers to access my data

The same way vaults can be share they can be delay-shared, just extra step to confirm/deny access, this feature would be amazing

Any updates on that one? I am not sure whether this would really undermine the security model, as I am not an expert. However, it seems other providers like Bitwarden, which I at least think are rather serious and reliable, are somehow able to offer this feature.

Essential feature for me, to fully adopt proton pass. With so many things only available digitally, a digital will becomes necessary, to ensure my family can access details if/when something happens.

Can't be done securely. This would require either proton to know your encryption keys, or you to encrypt the shared data to the recipient's keys ahead of time and have proton escrow that, neither of which are desirable under proton's security model.

Secure Safe has a data inheritance function where users can set up access to data for loved ones in the event of incapacity or passing. This could be a useful feature to consider. See link below.

This should not be a Proton Pass-specific feature, but instead something for Proton Accounts. I forget its exact name, but Google has a similar feature to designate a digital caretaker for your account in the event something happens to you unexpectedly. There are configurable choices about how someone could receive access and what data they would have access to.

Something like this for the entire Proton Account would be more useful than Proton Pass alone. I have the same concern for my passwords as I do my Calendar and my Drive.

Secure shared access in case of emergency is hugely important. My trusted friends need to be able to access my accounts and pay my bills, etc., when the time comes. I really don't want to email my info to them. :-( or put it on a piece of paper.

I would like to see a feature for heirs. If I pass away, I want my family to be able to access my passwords and notes. For example, they would only need to remember one password. Or, they could receive an email, and if I don't log in within 7 days (or a longer period of time, depending on the user's preference), my heirs would then be able to access my vault.

Really want to ditch LastPass for Proton Pass, but it's going to be hard without some kind of method to share my vault with loved ones in a hit-by-a-bus scenario.

Please consider adding something akin to a financial institution's beneficiary specification so that a trusted person could manage one's digital assets when one dies. (They should need to provide a death certificate for the owner to be able to have access to the account.)

Thank you.

I don't like the thought of this as it would require a "trusted" middleman to hold onto the encryption key. I think you would be better off using something like Shamir's secret sharing algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir%27s_secret_sharing) to distribute your key among trusted peers. This way you can "ensure" that they won't use their parts of the key until the case in which they are supposed to arises.

You could just shamirs secret share your password and give it to multiple people.

It would be important to also offer technical support to the heir.

One of the most compelling features of my current password manager (LastPass) is the emergency access feature. I very much like the ability to allow approved people to request access to my account and, should I not decline that request in a self-determined amount of time, to allow them to have full access. Unexpected things happen all the time and easing the ability for my loved ones to manage my affairs is quite reassuring to me.

I certainly understand the security issues. My initial e-mail request about this got a response that said that implementing this would, perforce, allow access to the whole Proton account, but that is something I'm fine with, as they would get that through such a request anyway.

Good idea and hope it could be done securely without risks.

While I support this, but only if the security of the passwords are not compromised as with this way they need to open up access. So encryption becomes a question.

My grandmother loved coding websites. Back in 2004 she passed away and with her all passwords to her accounts were forever lost… The sad fact is we do not live forever. A Legacy option for our loved ones could help some hold on to a small fragment of someone they miss. Thanks for all of your applications, and thanks for your consideration.
