Proton Pass - Password Manager
How about a service like LastPass or 1Password to make it easy to store all passwords and secure notes either online and synced with other computers and devices, or locally on one device. A secure password manager using the best of ProtonMail/ProtonVPN services
Thanks for your support and feedback! In case you missed the launch of Proton Pass, here are a few useful resources:

Please don't re-invent the wheel. There are already so many excellent cross-platform password managers such as 1Password. Try Bitwarden if you insist on open source. This would be a waste of Proton's resources.

I use paper & ink for important passwords.
I can trust Firefox to remember the low-impact web site registrations etc. -

This is great idea! I am currently using Dashlane, but I would love a password manager from Proton because starting next year, I will be using Proton services: email and vpn!

Great to hear you're considering this option! The only things is, I just started with Last Pass very recently, so am hoping you'll offer a very simple approach to exporting/importing our data from them?? If not. I can envision repetitive strain injury for my poor little fingers on the horizon.....

The best would be an integrated Password Manager into the ProtonMail web UI.

I use LastPass for this at the moment, but rolling similar cross-platform/cross-device into the PM suite would be a great consolidation (and as I'm not sure where LastPass will go with their new corporate structure I'd like an alternative!)

Hello, Actually, I use Contacts to store my passwords, I only use name field with prefix pwd+... and the label "Role" where I write the password. It's just missing a field labeled like "Pwd" where you can put a very long string of caracteres.
Best regards -

Keepass is free and opensource, works great. I wouldn't trust storing ALL of my password remotely.

If you had a drive feature, using Keepass or another similar program would be an option and a lot less programming on your end.

This is completely redundant.
There are already a number of open-source password managers. The best and easiest, in my opinion, is Bitwarden, which is very much like Lastpass, except that it's cheaper and completely open source.
Lastpass is NOT a privacy-respecting option. Please realise that privacy and security aren't the same thing. Lastpass is SECURE because it stores your credentials encrypted. It is NOT private because the websites fields, which show which domains you have accounts with, are NOT ENCRYPTED, which means that you can be profiled according to the unique set of domains with which you have accounts. For more details read this: https://systemoverlord.com/2015/09/16/what-the-lastpass-cli-tells-us-about-lastpass-design/
The best non-synced (completely offline) password manager is KeePassXC, which is completely multi-platform, free and open source.
So no, there is no need for a "ProtonVault". A lot of other stuff should be fixed first with Protonmail, like email search, calendaring, support for multi-label searching and yubikey support for all browsers.

I want to be able to not have “Sent from my ProtonMail mobile” account in my signature.

I'm with Bad Idea & Hunter Hogan: minus a bazillion.
If you want to get the Proton Devs attention show your support here:

A web-based password vault for managing passwords, not providing single sign-on functionality or anything, but a simple password vault accessible from ProtonMail Mobile App and Web App to manage passwords.

Bad Idea commented
bad... BAD idea.... There are plenty of apps out there that already do this.
Moreover, you mentioned one of them - LastPass. You can also use KeePass or its derivatives for a local solution, if you do not trust LastPass storage.
The main idea behind ProtonMail is that IT IS NOT GOOGLE and it doesn't try to provide everything to everyone, because if it does, it's either going to go DARK or is going to have some flaws within the important services.
One important note in privacy is the fact that you have to decentralize wherever it is possible, thus keeping things separate.
Protonmail does a great job on e-mail, and tries to improve it, that is why a lot of people like it that much. -

No. Please see my comment in https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-feedback/suggestions/32482291-protonvault

MINUS 100,000,000 votes. I trust Protonmail. If you made a password manager, I would also trust the password manager. Nevertheless, a fundamental and indispensible aspect of Protonmail is that Protonmail cannot possibly access the keys. Your service is analogous to putting money in a bank vault. If you were to offer a password manager service, that would be only a few degrees away from writing the combination to the bank vault on the front of the bank vault. For a more concrete risk: if you have the password manager and the emails, that makes it easier for a court order to get closer to the email contents. (I know that it doesn't automatically make it possible, but it does make it easier.) As a former prosecutor, I implore you not to make it easier for governments to get to the emails. And, as a former system/network administrator, I must remind you that part of your job is to protect users from themselves. Please, reject this idea.

You can use fully open-source applications for that.
I use KeePass 2 for my Desktop, TinyKeePass on Android (available on F-Droid) and Tusk (extension) on my web browsers. These 3 programs are fully open-source and since they all use the KeePass protocol they're all considered safe.
There are already lots of open-source password managers. I think we should give share new and nonexistent ideas for proton team.
