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.
You can now set an extra password for Proton Pass in addition to your Proton account password, allowing for better compartmentalization and peace of mind. https://proton.me/support/pass-extra-password
This feature is rolling out today to all Lifetime plans, followed by a staged rollout for Unlimited plans, and it will be available to everyone else over the coming days.

I don't mind having the use of the pin while I'm logged in (this is actually more secure than when I was logged into LastPass), but I would like to see the occasional need to log back in (as I had to w LastPass), perhaps once a week or so, so I'll recall my master password. I'm actually very afraid I've forgotten my password because I've never had to log back in since creating my vault...!

Also, I think better password or pin number should be required to see password in clear text in browser extension and app.

I use proton as my main email service. It would be wonderful not only having separate passwords for mail and pass, but also for drive. Besides, it would be very interesting being able to login with only an specific alias and not all of them, that would be an extra layer of security.

Lorin I understand your concern with those logins and while i think this feature is needed, and i can't switch until added, i disagree about removing those buttons. There are large clients that rely (especially on the sign in with google button) for the business SSO login. So removing it prevents those users from using this tool, which removes a segment of customers who could be using this as an alternative to 1password or bitwarden

Adding my +1 (+many!) to having a separate Master Password for PPass, for all the reasons well-stated here by others. Also, please remove Facebook and Google authorization from PPass login/authentication -- that's like letting the wolves into the chicken coop! Relying on these information thieves for authentication/api services is a really bad look for Proton's security reputation!

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.

SUPER IMPORTANT. I can't believe it's not already a feature. 3 login attempts and logged out-big deal. I'm sorry I went with PP. I was using LastPass which has it's issues but at least I had a strong master password.

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.

You offer None, PIN and Biometric as options in your mobile app to unlock and only PIN code in the browser extension. Please add password as an option.

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 one of the features i miss the most after coming from dashlane. I dont use a 6 digit pin code anywhere else, and im used to using my master password to login
