Proper macOS autofill support
I'm a longtime 1Password user who just migrated to Proton Pass and am already starting to rethink my decision.
I noticed that the Proton Pass Mac app doesn't actually support autofill and passkeys like 1Password does. You guys figured this out on iOS, please fix this on macOS (see screenshots below).

Additionally, the lack of support for passkeys, oauth, file and image attachment support is pretty disappointing.
Please fix this so I don't need to migrate back to 1Password 🙏

I've become increasingly conscious of the prevalence of advanced browser fingerprinting technologies, and the fact that every browser extension drastically increases the chances of being fingerprinted.
At the moment, the best I can do is use the Proton Pass browser extension in the "only allow when I click the extension" mode. However, this is not foolproof, as you still have to reload tabs with the extension active, which will be revealed in javascript, where fingerprinters operate. The only real preventative measure is to get rid of the browser extension and use the local macOS autofill. I eagerly await the update that finally integrates native autofill on macOS.
Adguard making their local macOS app and thereby rendering the browser extension obsolete was such a godsend. Come on, Proton. It's time to follow suit as fellow bastion of web privacy and anonymity.

Honestly embarrassing, especially considering that you recently pulled the iPadOS app from the macOS App Store. It is increasingly difficult for me to justify paying you, you are consistently miles behind your competitors.

I already commented-- I paid for it and it doesn't work. I need the HIPPA email and am not a computer person. So I was paying for proton and dashlane, I don't want to keep paying for both. Please make the password thing on my macbook air work. AND Please update Lumo so he/she/it/them/they/whatever doesn't lie to me about it anymore.

Doggone it-- I just paid to keep proton over dashlane and now I regret it. Please figure out how to autofill native apps on my macbook air. I don't know or understand computer language, I just know when stuff doesn't work and I paid for something that doesn't work. That's aggravating.

This problem absolutely needs to be fixed. It's an essential and basic feature; I don't understand why it hasn't been implemented yet.

Also a critical item for me, a quiet new proton unlimited user. I understand you have a lot on your plate, but this should really be at the top of the list!

Switched from Dashlane to Proton Pass (Proton Unlimited user), and macOS autofill is the only thing missing for me.
On iOS it works perfectly, but on macOS the lack of system-wide autofill makes daily use slower and less seamless.
Proper macOS integration (like AutoFill / passkeys support) would make Proton Pass a complete replacement. -

The current "auto-type" workaround doesn't address the core gap: Proton Pass doesn't appear in System Settings > General > AutoFill & Passwords, meaning no native app autofill outside browsers.
This is a regression. The iPad app on Apple Silicon Macs previously supported native
macOS autofill. The new "native" macOS app removed this capability. That's backwards. Apple's Credential Provider Extension API has existed since 2018. Proton Pass already implements this on iOS -- the macOS version shares the same architecture. Competitors like 1Password and Bitwarden have supported native macOS autofill for years.When users "spend good money on an app like this," native platform autofill is standard. The lack forces Safari profile workarounds, and continued reliance on other vault apps.
Please prioritize Credential Provider Extension integration over workarounds. The API exists, your team has the iOS implementation, and users are actively migrating back to competitors over this gap

I can't believe this still isn't a thing... If Proton can do it on iOS and iPadOS, macOS shouldn't be an issue...

This is absolutely needed. You have it on iOS, why not on macOS?

This is absolutely critical. Its insane to spend good money on an app like this that does not have fully autofill function in macos. Please fix!!!

I chose ProtonPass as my new password manager (and paid for annual subscription). I'm currently wondering if I made a wrong choice due to lack convenient autofill.

I'm using profiles in Safari. Without native autofill support I have to set the settings for every profile. Also TouchID support is missing with the extension. So a native support would be great to use Proton Pass. Currently I will continue using my other vault app.

Yes, this is super critical! I wonder if it is possible to just run the iOS app on macOS? has anyone tried?

Like many others I had hoped to replace 1Password with Proton Pass but the lack of native MacOS support is embarrassing.

It's 2026 and still no proper integration with macOS.
I just bought the plus plan, thinking that it looks like a good place to migrate from 1Password, only to realise that I can't autofill in any app apart from a browser.. 2026! -

Please add native macOS system-wide AutoFill support instead of relying on the clunky browser extension. In the meantime, at least allow us to install the iPad app on Apple Silicon Macs so that we can utilise native AutoFill.
