I switched from 1Password to ProtonPass, and honestly, this feature is essential for me!

Loving Proton, but it's a shame such basic functionality is missing (and was already promised for Q1/2025).

Changing from 1Password to Proton Pass - where the browser extensions can be unlocked via biometrics. A pin is a no-go for me.

This feature is available in the Bitwarden extension.

For how many years this will be "under review"?

Uninstalled. Proton keeps making promises but never delivers.

I'm loving Proton Pass, but I really miss the "Desktop Bridge" from 1Password.
Unlocking the desktop app should automatically unlock the browser extension. And please add Apple Watch unlock support for Mac.
These two features would make the workflow flawless.

Entering a PIN in public isn't very secure. Please enable fingerprint unlocking on Apple Mac. It's safer and much quicker.

id love to not have to enter a pin everytime, windows hello's faceid avoids me having to do this

Voted for this, but would prefer security keys to biometrics.

I'd love that, very convenient! Just bought a new mac with Touch ID and got frustrated that biometrics only work in the app, not in the browser extension.

While this seems convenient, it is something I personally avoid for privacy. If you are attempting to protect your privacy you avoid all biometrics. If you are held by authorities and they hold the phone/laptop up to your face or force you to put a finger on the device to use your face or fingerprint to unlock your secured information, it really counters having Proton paid services. It also invalidates you being able to protect yourself and claim any kind of protections.

Two years later and they're finally working on biometrics: "Biometric unlock in browser: Unlock Proton Pass in your browser using your fingerprint or face ID. Biometric unlock is already available for all other platforms."

Unfortunately no word about unlocking with FIDO2 security keys. :(

Please add this, especially that AI powered search now misleading says it's possible, because it should ;)
While not a total dealbreaker for us, it does prevent to fully switch all users (and therefore more licences for you) as some are bent on using computer biometric unlock in browser since they got used to it. -

A quick and convenient method to unlock the extension, competitor products have this ability.

Biometrics would be great. The extensions for Bitwarden do have it, so it is possible.

This would definitely increase security of my basket of passwords.
+1 to additionally adding yubikey support to quickly unlocking the vault.
