The browser Ext is very useful, but why the **** can't you put a proper password on the **** thing?
I'm not going to use it as long as I need to use this Pin ********.
What's the point in putting a secure password on your proton account only to be able to access your sensitive data with a pin just a few digits long. This annoys me to no end, just give us the option.
Even fingerprint would be better.
Perhaps you could even allow the user to mix the options, Fingerprint or Pin if opened within the last 5 minutes (or however long you set), then proper password if left unopened for more than 5 minutes ect.
This would be great to have in the desktop app too.
This seems like an obvious feature for a security specialist software developer to offer. If I can think of it off the top of my head, I have no idea why these option would not be implemented.
Sort it out Proton.

Yeah bro. I was about to post this. 👍

I would like to propose adding an option to use a secondary password to access the 2FA vault in Proton Authenticator, similar to the functionality offered by Proton Pass. This additional layer of security would provide users with an extra means of protecting their two-factor authentication codes, enhancing overall account security.

edit: Proton unified my post with this, but they are not the same request. I was requesting a secondary password to access Proton Authenticator, just like Proton Pass.

I also need to use 2FA to open the password vault. The PIN code is too simple. Once the PIN Code is known or recorded, all passwords will be leaked.

not having the option for a 2fa on pc seems not so safe to me.

If Proton account is hacked, the hacker will have access to the passwords and Two factor authentication code. The two factor authentication code should be more secure and require a password or a pin for access.

I massively appreciate having the option of requiring separate second password from your main password to access Proton Pass. I noticed the mobile app (or at least the Android app) can only be locked with biometrics or a PIN-code. I would love an option to lock it with your second password, or a separate text password you set. I feel that would be more secure than a PIN and would line the app up with how I use Proton Pass on desktop, while still being a lot more convenient than having to log out everytime and using two passwords to log back in.

100% agree, I don't understand why they would use a pin rather than 2fa when they already have 2fa implemented.
