How can we improve Proton Pass or Authenticator?

← Proton Pass & Authenticator

Folders and nested subfolders

I want to be able to use folders and sub-folders. I use strongbox on iOS which is based on keepass. It allows for as many folders and sub-folders that you want. I use folders to keep my stuff organized. I don't like having all my passwords and whatever in one big long list. I also using keepass as a bookmark manager. I really like the idea of your "vaults", but again I have over like 3000 bookmarks and folders are really needed. Also attachments with built in viewer is also important. I like to convert a lot of websites to PDF and store them as attachments, so I can view them later. Keepass is the only one that can view said items, everyone else you have to download said item to view the attachment.

As per the Spring/Summer Roadmap, this is being developed: https://proton.me/blog/pass-roadmap-spring-summer-2026


Folders will be a significant building block for Proton Pass that will go beyond just helping you organize your items. Introducing folders will require some rethinking of our cryptography model, which we’re currently working on. Eventually, you’ll also be able to share folders and subfolders just like your vaults and individual items, giving you another flexible way to share access.


Folders will be available in the coming months. As well as creating vaults, you’ll be able to create dedicated folders and subfolders to organize crucial information for quick retrieval: you can organize by project, by team, by year, or whatever else you need.

    Hi I am switching from KeePassXC from all device, two laptops and iPhone, and I really missing something like databases or Vaults and sub-folders. Or databases and Vaults and sub-folders in Vaults. This would be great.

    TAGS, Not folders (or both like Proton Mail for those who like the clutter).

  • Philipp commented  ·   ·  Report

    I imported about 600 entries and now it's all a mess. Nested subfolders are essential.

  • Ruud de Jong commented  ·   ·  Report

    I just switched from Bitwarden to Proton Pass.
    With 250+ entries, having folders is essential

  • Tom commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree! I am coming to Proton Pass from Roboform which currently has this feature.

  • Sacher Khoudari commented  ·   ·  Report

    When will this become available? My vaults are a mess, having between 30 and almost 100 entries each.

  • Yuri commented  ·   ·  Report

    Currently, all items in a Proton Pass vault are listed together, which can make it difficult to organize accounts, notes, and credentials for different purposes.

    I propose adding a feature that allows users to create folders inside each vault, so they can group related items for better structure and accessibility.

    For example:

    In a vault named Work, a user could create folders like Servers (containing all server credentials and notes) and Email Accounts (containing email credentials).

    In a vault named Gmail, a user could organize items into folders such as Government Services and Gaming Accounts (for services like Steam, Epic, etc.).

    This improvement would significantly enhance organization, especially for users with many items and complex workflows.

    Absolutely important! In my previous password manager, I had a tree structure with items nested up to three levels deep, and about 20 folders in total. Migrating all of that to Proton Pass is a bit challenging at the moment as it currently has flat structure - but I really want to make the switch.

    After using Keepass for so long with folders since I can remember, I don't now how this is not a basic feature of ProtonPass. It is so difficult to find something here at times.

  • Hans commented  ·   ·  Report

    please add this function

  • Steven commented  ·   ·  Report

    Folders and/or tags, please. Best with an option to switch between list view and folder view. At a certain amount of records, the list just gets too long and one does not always know necessarily which word to use for a search (or there are typos so a record won't be found)

  • Tom Truyen commented  ·   ·  Report

    I will be using Proton Pass, but indeed something like folders or tags is missing. I use tags extensively in 1Password

  • Gunnar Broodh commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have 300+ accounts and I use Lastpass today with folders.

  • Sjoerd Water commented  ·   ·  Report

    This feauture is critical for our company to migrate to Proton Pass to keep things organized.

  • Adolfo A commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is the only reason I'm not moving from KeePassXC to Proton Pass.
    I'll migrate as soon as this feature is launched.

  • Bob commented  ·   ·  Report

    I will like to add when creating folders for Proton, I will like to have the number of items in that folder next to the folder like keepass does. Don't know if that is a big thing, but it does help.

  • Rick commented  ·   ·  Report

    I work for a MSP, and also have a large number of personal and family-shared passwords. I currently use Keepass, and have about 700 passwords spread over about 60 folders, in 3 different kdbx files (equivalent of Vaults?).

    I would love to move away from Keepass, but without nested Folders/Groups that is so not happening.

  • Juan commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would help me to better organize my logins and I think it is a critical feature.
