Separate password for Proton Pass
I don't use ProtonMail as my default mail service, therefore my Proton account is protected by a generated password that I can't and don't want to remember (using Bitwarden).
Having a way to use a completely different password than the one of my proton account to unlock Proton Pass will be a dealbreaker for me.

As many others stated already, this is a deal breaker for me.
As long as I'm forced to share my Proton Mail password with Proton Pass, I'm not going to switch from Bitwarden to Proton Pass.
It's a real shame because your password app seems great.

It make no sense for secure product to have the same password for all services. Having my password for VPN stored in my ocal keychain, having the sme password for my email and Proton Pass?!? If someone get access to one place... they get everyting even if 2FA is used using email. I have to use 2FA with non Proton email to increse security. I would prefer only use Proton.

It would be great to have a generated pass for Protonmail and a memorable pass for Proton Pass.

This is the only thing preventing me from migrating to this app

This actually needs to be a passwordless (FIDO) logon, in addition to it being a separate password. Like others here, I generated a massive random password for Proton services using Dashlane and could never use it to sign into Protonpass without changing my master password to something human memorable. I could never recommend it to my friends or family without passwordless login.

I want Proton Pass to be a standalone app with standalone login system.
By virtue of its function, Pass cannot be part of a suite with other Proton products, because it IS the gateway to all the said products.
For example, maybe you can give Pass its own login system, and then require users to use Pass to login to the remaining Proton products.
At some point, you need to find a way to not put all the eggs in same basket, otherwise the risk is too high.

Number one rule is not to use same password for several services, but here we are using it for Mail, Calender, VPN, and Password manager.
And to put some sugar on top, as a paid user I can have 15 emails in my mail that all can be used to log in!!!

Greetings friends,
I consider this functionality critical as I keep my Proton credentials securely stored in my current password manager. Optional separate credentials, in whatever form deemed appropriate and secure, would allow me to keep my primary Proton credentials secured in Proton Pass. Having this feature for other applications could also be beneficial. I am patiently waiting for a solution to this issue so that I can switch to Proton Pass. Thank you all for the hard work.

This is critical, and a separate password should be applied for ProtonVPN as well

The main Proton account should manage VPN and PASS accounts, but not to be used to sign in. It is very insecure.
-

ProtonVPN is the same!
Simple password with/or TOTP/HOTP would be enough. I do not want to enter my main account credentials on a system I do not fully trust.

I want to switch to Proton Pass but not until this is implemented. I'm patiently waiting.

I'm new to Proton's services & I agree with the OP & other comments!
I use strong passwords for all my accounts along with 2FA for my more important things. (Like Proton services.) Having to use a password manager (Keepass/Keepass2Android) to open a password manager is just, well, annoying!!
I would use Proton Pass exclusively but for this issue. I'd simply continue to use the password I use for Keepass/Keepass2Android for simplicity. I do change it from time to time, just to be safe but unlike the current method with Proton Pass its not a 32bit+ (Minimum) password with multiple capitalized/non-capitalized letters+numbers+symbols+special etc etc.
Please implement an option, so if people want to keep it the way it is now they can, but for those of use who want to use just a password we have the option available.
Thank you.

I just want to let everyone know that this is the only thing keeping me from switching from Bitwarden.

I agree this is critical to have as well! Furthermore, there should be the option to use MFA every time to open Proton Pass, including the use of security keys like Yubico.

I have a similar requirement.
It would be nice if ProtonPass could be unlinked from the Proton account. Own login credentials/master password for Pass and only the licence is made available via Proton/SimpleLogin. This ensures that there is no access to the vault if the Proton account has been taken over (e.g. by accessing session cookies).
