Need a different "Login Detected" notification icon. The current icon is the "mail" icon.
When I get a new login detected notification on my phone it displays the email icon. I think it's a new message so ignore it. When in fact it's someone trying to login to my account and I need to do something. Can you change the icon so it's something else so I know it's a Proton Official Notification and I need to pay attention.

Make Duo/Family true shared plans
The idea is simple – allow for shared email addresses within Duo/Family plans, which anyone in the family group can access. Allow for true shared documents/folders in Drive, that anyone who they are shared with has equal access – at the moment, shared folders cannot be accessed through Finder (macOS), nor made available offline. To attach a file from a shared folder, the sharee must first download it from the web app, which makes a mockery of using cloud storage in the first place.
It seems that Duo/Family is really just a pricing tool, not a shared family group in…

Emergency access - read-only, customizing what they can see/access
1) https://proton.me/blog/emergency-access nor https://proton.me/support/emergency-access explains if emergency contact can change account password/key which they have accessed (taking over account). It does not explain any other protections.
2) Also the account owner should be able to limit emergency user access to read-only, maybe just for a limited time like 1-2 years, during which owner has ability to reset the emergency user access and they have to request again.
3) Owner should be able to limit access only to some services, like for example Drive or even certain folder of a Drive or Mail. This possibility I have not seen announced in…

Inactive account policy - keep account when deleting data
Hello proton team
I have a new suggestion regarding the inactive account policy. Instead of permanently deleting a user's account if they haven't logged in for a year, I propose an alternative approach.
The idea is to delete their data while keeping the account itself, which would minimize costs for Proton. In the event that the user logs in again at a later time, they would login to an empty account (like if they just created it), but at least they won't lose their email address.
A lot of users keep a protonmail account as a recovery email for other…

Always connect to Proton Wallet using a password.
The Proton wallet should be more secure by enabling its two additional options:
2) Always require a password to log in to Proton Wallet, even if we are already logged in to another Proton application. Ideally with two-factor authentication.
1) Log out after a few minutes of inactivity.Context: I just realised that:
1) Even if I don't tick the ‘Remember me’ box, as soon as a session is open on the computer, I can log in to Proton Mail or Proton Wallet or other services without a password on the Vivaldi browser. This is still the case even after…5 votes -
Bad Proton platform interaction with ICS email attachments
Proton Mail often fails to present UI controls to accept/decline calendar events.
This happens for about 10% of ICS attachments, depending on the service that generates the event data.
The Proton Calendar website permits these attachment files to be uploaded and accepted.
The Proton Calendar mobile app, such as for iOS/iPadOS, fails to support ICS file uploads.
This causes unnecessary friction for mobile users.
Please fix the mobile Proton Mail and Proton Calendar apps to handle the very same ICS data as the Proton Calendar website.

Proton Authenticator Android App Lock and TOTP Visualization
1.Currently, In Android, Proton Authenticator can only be locked using Biometrics. It would be awesome if it could also be locked with PIN, like Proton Pass.
2. The option to hide TOTP codes works as intended. However, it's useful only when copying and pasting codes by tapping. If I need to read a code for a specific entry to then write on my PC, it won't be useful. Adding a way to reveal a code for a specific entry on tap, would make it better!5 votes -
Allow payment for Proton subscription plans before the due date
My renewal for Proton Duo is about a month away. I was looking on the Proton website for a way to pay for the next 12 months before the renewal date, but to no avail.

Lumo — Add a One-Click "Burn and Delete" Button for Messages to Enhance Privacy
As a privacy-focused AI service, Lumo aligns perfectly with Proton's commitment to security and user control. To further enhance this, I’d love to see a one-click "burn and delete" button for all messages, similar to what DuckAI offers. Currently, deleting messages requires navigating through settings and multiple clicks, which feels a bit cumbersome and slightly out of step with the privacy-first ethos.
This small feature would make it effortless to wipe message history instantly, reinforcing Lumo’s focus on user privacy and security.

Allow importing multiple events into Proton Calendar from .ics attachments in Proton Mail
Currently, if we have an .ics attachment with a single event in a Proton mail email, we are able to import that into Proton Calendar.
However, .ics attachments that contain multiple events are not yet supported, and show this message: "This ICS file contains more than one event. Please download it and import the events in Proton Calendar". This introduces a fair amount of friction.I get these quite a lot as I often book train journeys where both the outbound and return journeys are sent to me as two calendar events within one ICS attachment.
Please change the Proton…

I would love to see a single link to be able to update all the applications that can be used on any of my devices I have the Proton apps on.
I would love to see a single link to be able to update all the applications that can be used on any of my devices I have the Proton apps on.
I have Windows PCs, Linux workstations and multiple cell devices and it just takes a long time to update every app on every platform when a single script could update every platform's applications in a single run.2 votes -
Allow turning off email event reminders
I have Proton Calendar on my phone, and I get event reminders there via push notification. For me, getting an email reminder in my email is redundant. I get two push notifications on my phone that I have to dismiss, not to mention deleting the completely useless email. If people find this feature useful (though neither Google nor Microsoft do this), great keep it but please let the rest of us turn it off.

Navigate Between Multiple 2FA Codes for the Same Account in Proton Pass
Currently, Proton Pass displays only one 2FA code in the side popup when selecting an account. However, some accounts require multiple authentication codes for different actions (e.g., signing in, deleting the account, or removing files).
I propose adding a feature that allows users to switch between the different 2FA codes associated with the same account using arrows or a selector, without leaving the popup or manually searching within the app.
This enhancement would make it easier to manage accounts with multiple authentication layers and significantly improve the user experience in complex security scenarios.

Bad Proton Mail UX
Proton Mail has multiple glitches that significantly reduce the practical utility of this email service.
- After years, Proton refuses to persist the Unread filter across inbox refreshes, new Web browser tabs, and application relaunches. Gmail does NOT have this unnecessary UX problem. My first experience opening Proton Mail immediately upsets me, every time.
- Sending emails often takes many, many seconds to complete, compared to other email services. Sending emails with Proton Mail feels sluggish.
- After several months of using Proton Mail, I discovered that dozens of my emails hadn't actuall been sent, they had all been stuck as drafts. This…

Support Google Takeout for data imports (add to Easy Switch)
TL;DR: Easy Switch can auto-forward emails, then move your contacts and calendar. But what about:
Google Drive files, Google Photos, Google Password Manager, Google Finance, Gemini?
We should be able to move those data into Proton services Proton Drive, Proton Pass, Proton Wallet and Lumo quite easily with Google Takeout.
And what about autoforwarding from Outlook and Apple or sign in with Apple?
But we can’t.Dear Proton Community and Development Team,
We propose an enhancement to Proton’s “Easy Switch” technology to maximize user acquisition, engagement, and a more comprehensive way to move data to a more private service, while…

Notify users of new features
I learn about the latest Proton releases in my news app as a tech article on some blog or web site. Why aren't users notified of new features or new products until 2-3 days after they're released?
