Description: Proton Pass and Proton Authenticator are excellent tools for privacy-conscious users, but the free versions could be even more powerful with a few key improvements. These enhancements would strengthen security, reduce manual work, and improve usability while staying true to Proton’s mission of protecting user privacy.

Proposed Improvements:

Free Proton Pass
Add support for unlocking with a PIN or hardware security key for faster, secure access.
Allow reordering of custom fields and better vault organization.
Expand alias integration with SimpleLogin, so disposable emails can be managed directly inside Proton Pass.
Ensure automatic synchronization between web and mobile apps.
Introduce auto-deletion of trashed items after configurable periods (30–90 days).
Enable linking Proton Drive files directly inside Proton Pass for secure document storage alongside credentials.
Proton Authenticator
Implement screenshot prevention and username masking to protect sensitive data.
Enable automatic synchronization of 2FA codes between Authenticator and Proton Pass.
Allow export/import of TOTP codes in both directions (Pass ↔ Authenticator).
Provide seamless autofill of 2FA codes when both apps are installed.
General
Support multi-account login in Proton Pass, similar to Proton Mail.
Add developer-focused features like CLI tools, SDKs, and Kubernetes operators for secure secrets management.
Improve secure credential sharing by masking passwords in shared links.
Impact: These changes would make the free Proton ecosystem more secure, convenient, and integrated, reducing friction for everyday users while reinforcing Proton’s commitment to privacy-first design.
