Proton Authenticator: Add a Folder structure
Please add a folder structure to group my 2FA’s. That would be very helpful if you have many entries.

I see 2 dimensions here:
- First is sharing/permissions and permission inheritance.
- Second is organizationThe single level of sharing is limited in flexibility... Currently I have to create a vault for every sharing scenario. A level of hierarchy would be very powerful. i.e. one vault where all passwords are shared with say a spouse, partner, or team mate. Then the ability to create a sub-vault where additional people can be added (i.e. inherits spouse/partner and parents/children are added).
Regards organization: I do realize many people use folders to organize content. I do as well, but find them very limiting. i.e. "Did I put that under the finances, insurance, or bills folder?: I've generally found tags to be very powerful in this context as when things fall into multiple categories, especially for things I need infrequently, I often forget exactly which category I stored it under at the time. As a result, I often default to search to find what I need. However, when trying to do good practices, such as changing passwords on a semi-regular basis, it is brutal to try to get a "list" of websites I need to go to.
Bringing those two points together. As an example, How to organize and find things (i.e. "bills") is often quite different then how I need to share things (i.e. there is a need to share access to the utility bill/website, but not to individual gym memberships/websites, yet they are both "bills").
Reading the comments... As other's mentioned, Pass competitors do this. I would also add that there are a massive corpus of knowledge on how to build platforms to accommodate how users organize and share information. I would give examples of e-mail clients, web based file sharing (<insert vendor> Drive), old school file servers (and file systems) where both folders and tags are already very mature and users have already found their comfort zone for use of these tools.
I've also noticed in living and working with other human beings, we all organize differently... Tags add the ability to have multiple tags on an item that accommodate each person's organization style would add additional benefit. Also, the ability for shared items to be taggable by anyone would be an additional bonus. I could also see value in personalized tags (where the tags I use are not necessarily observable by others). Also it would potentially give a user who only has "Viewer" vault access the ability to organize shared vaults.
Also, the ability to sort/filter by untagged so that untagged items can quickly be organized would be a further bouns.

Add vault similar to proton pass instead of folders. It will be much better

Was very surprised to discover this was not a feature. We plan to use this for Business. We're coming from Keeper Security, and some vaults were planned to be pretty large (with folders) but not will probably have to be split into multiple vaults. Sometimes there are multiple items associated with one thing (tags could serve this purpose as well but I prefer folders).
Honestly maybe I'd prefer tags. Tags would be easier to add to all of the Add forms across all the different clients (folders would be near impossible and I think that is okay--just add them to the root of the Vault and let us organize later in the full app).

Add folders or tags please. I use my proton authenticator for personal as well as work accounts.

Need this to separate accounts without creating another vault.

Another +1 for folders and tags/labels so that password search will be limited to that folder or group when selected.
Now I have to resort to creating multiple vaults as a workaround, but that does not really solve the issue of separating personal/work/volunteer/.... 2FA's and passwords if Proton Pass is used for 2FA's.

Folders, tag and colorization for Pass and Authenticator is a must.

Please add this!
Single-handedly the quickest win of them all - this would take even a junior dev hardly any time to implement. Will love you forever if you do this!

Folders or tags - Ente does tags well, it would be great to see it deployed on Proton Authenticator

It is a must, especially if you use 2FA on all your accounts.

Either folders or labels/tags would be nice. Or both.

Folders that can be arranged the way the user needs to use them. I will never use this app until it does this.
The current layout is inefficient.

Implementing a folder/label structure in the Proton Authenticator is needed, especially since competitors already offer this vital feature. A more functional Proton Authenticator could also boost usage of other Proton apps.

Same options as in Keepass, which are the prerequisites for me to be able to use the app.

Ente Auth has tags which are on the top. Let`s say to tag EMAILS are assigned all emails etc.

❌ Folders should be **banished** and systematically replaced by labels and views which are much more flexible and efficient!
