Offer to use passkeys even when browser extension is locked
Problem
Currently, Proton Pass only offers passkey sign‑in after the browser extension has been unlocked. This adds unnecessary friction when trying to authenticate quickly.
Proposed Improvement
Allow the extension to present a passkey prompt even while locked.
A smoother flow could look like:
Passkey sign‑in prompt appears
User selects a passkey
User enters their PIN to authorize the passkey
Sign‑in completes without needing to unlock the full extension first
This would make passkey usage faster, more intuitive, and more aligned with how native passkey flows work on modern platforms.
