Separate vault profiles or identity containers with password protection in Proton Pass
Please add support for separating login credentials into different vaults, profiles, or identity containers inside Proton Pass — similar to how "Identities" work in LastPass.
This request is only for Proton Pass and is unrelated to "Identities" in Proton Mail or other services.
The goal is to allow users to create separate compartments within their Proton Pass vault, such as:
1. Personal
2. Work
Each "vault profile" should:
* Be optionally protected by a second password or PIN
* Be isolated from autofill/search in other profiles
* Require manual switching (with authentication) to access
Why is this important?
- Security through separation. It minimizes the risk of data leaks across contexts (e.g., using a work password on a personal site), especially if malware targets browser autofill.
- Personal/Work life separation. Many users store both personal and professional credentials in one Proton Pass account, which leads to a messy organization or accidental autofill.
- Match features in competing products. LastPass supports "Identities" and it was very useful. Proton Pass could adopt a vault profiles concept to meet these needs.
Bonus features (optional):
* Assign a vault profile when creating/editing a login or note.
* Use different default profiles per browser or per domain.
Prevent autofill/search across profiles without password unlock.

I think that's a similar topic: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584-proton-pass/suggestions/47581775-require-master-password-for-selected-vault-items

The accounts I store in Proton Pass are subject to different security requirements. Storing the number of my bike lock is not the same as storing the password for my citizen ID!
It should therefore be possible to define additional (optional) passwords or other means of authentication for individual vaults.
PS: There has already been a request titled “Optional passwords for vaults, 2FA, and item types” (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584-proton-pass/suggestions/47611952-optional-passwords-for-vaults-2fa-and-item-types). This was linked to https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584-proton-pass-authenticator/suggestions/48633443-log-into-proton-pass-directly-with-its-own-passwor. However, these are different topics!
