Two Passwords to Avoid the Hammer Attack Scenario
I would like to see the option in Proton Pass to use "either" of two passwords.
If you use password #1 Proton Pass would work as it usually does.
If you use Password #2, Proton Pass would only display certain records that have been tagged by the user.
The purpose of this would be to help prevent a successful "Wrench Attack".
If threatened physically to log into your account, you could use password #2 and minimize the loss of your data.
This would be similar to methods used on some crypto wallets. Here's an article on Wrench Attacks for reference.
