Automatically use email alias for Identity card
More and more websites are starting to put you on a mailing list the moment you enter an email address (before clicking any submit button). This causes an issue when using the Identity feature in Proton Pass to autocomplete other fields (e.g. address), as it will expose your real email address. Even if you change the email addresse after the fact to an alias, they will still reach out to you on the address in your identity card.
It would be nice to have an option in the ID card to automatically generate an alias when filling in your details on online forms.

Yes, we need to organize items within vaults. I see vaults as contexts (at work, at home) as Proton Pass works now.
We can have personas (Proton Pass "Identity"). Call it a character in a story. We might also have a main persona ("the IRL person") as a default persona.
The persona has a name, an email address (Proton Pass "Alias"), etc.
The persona has accounts (Proton Pass "Login") on web sites that use that email address.It should be easy to group all of these together under the persona.
Or... maybe a Vault IS a persona, so every Vault has an Identity and everything inside is linked to that Identity.

Voted for this idea. I have a similar request. When filling out contact emails, Proton pass will offer your base email in the identity contact section. It also offers to create an email alias for that site. However, if you already have an alias created, pass should recognize the email alias is already created and offer that as an option.
With email aliases being such a core part of the platform, having dynamic insertion of aliases v. static emails would be beneficial.
