Automatic Synchronization Between Proton Authenticator and Proton Pass
Please consider adding automatic synchronization between Proton Authenticator and Proton Pass. Currently, the sync feature within Proton Authenticator works well across devices, but there’s an issue: when I create a new login or account in Proton Pass and add the 2FA code directly there, I sometimes forget to also add it manually to Proton Authenticator.
It would be ideal if both services were seamlessly integrated, so any authentication codes added in Proton Pass would automatically sync with Proton Authenticator. This would save time, reduce manual work, and help prevent losing access to accounts due to missing codes.

Description:
Currently, Proton Authenticator supports synchronization between devices when using the account sync feature. However, I’ve noticed that when a new OTP entry is added on one device, it doesn’t immediately appear on the other device. The synchronization only happens after closing and reopening the app.Suggested Improvement:
Add an option to manually trigger synchronization — for example, a “Sync Now” button — so that users can instantly update OTP entries across devices without having to restart the app. Alternatively, include a configurable setting that allows users to set an automatic sync interval (e.g., every 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 5 minutes).Benefits:
- Ensures OTPs are consistent across all devices in real-time.
- Improves usability for users managing multiple devices.
- Reduces confusion or errors caused by outdated OTP lists.
