Approve login request on mobile to log in (passwordless login)
Currently when I login on my Desktop through a webbrowser on a Proton web service I need to fill-in my MFA code, instead off filling in a MFA code I wou like the possibility to get a pop-up on my Phone and approve it with bio metric validation.

Whenever trying to log in to Proton Pass in PC, browser you name it a an approval request sends to Proton Pass in mobile.
This future is very handy and works like 2FA (kind of! IMO) for logg in to PP on PC and browser and later on, on PP desktop app.

I don't have the aforementioned authenticators but I can envision a text msg from proton with a six digit code to enter.

Passwordless accounts are more secure than the password

This!
It's so much more secure logging into my work computer without having to enter my crazy password.

I value the addition of dual factor authentication, but I find it frustrating that I have to open an app on my phone and quickly type in the relevant 6 digits before the code refreshes.
I have many such MFA apps on my phone, and my favourite by far is Microsoft Authenticator and LastPass Authenticator. The reason for this is that when I log in to ProtonMail, a push notification is sent to my phone and I simply have to press yes or no on the notification to allow or deny the login.
This is a massive time saver and I don't believe it is any less secure, because the phone has to be unlocked before the command can be given. Using fingerprint authentication, this takes a matter of seconds,
Please consider looking into this enhancement,
