I support this

I agree that I want to secure Proton Mail long with Proton Pass (instead of the other way around).

Excellent idea, especially if the proposed option to keep Proton Pass open until your system locks isn't done. Very annoying to have to open it ever hour (or more frequently, depending on what option is selected.)

support! the present setup creates a deadlock situation if you lose your phone.

- my Proton account password is strong and stored in Proton Pass
- in order to log in Proton Pass, I need my proton password AND the Authenticator
- in order to open Authenticator, I need my proton password...

This is becoming a deal-breaker for me. Absolutely necessary.

need it

Very important

Hello,
I rarely write but I support this idea, dedicated password for Pass is surely nice but the fact that to access you have to login in you proton account means that at work anybody can just open proton mail on my browser and see everything, this should not be allowed.
An alternative solution could be to let the user set an optional pin on Proton Mail similary to Proton Pass.
Thank you

I would also like to see individual Proton services such as Proton Pass work without the account login.

This would give a separate Proton Pass password much more weight, especially with security keys such as U2F/FIDO2!

GUYS: this is a bit of a problem: why is Proton posting ideas?

And posting links to the exact same thing?

i need separate password to log in for example at library or family pc without huge risk to compromising entire proton account. passwords for separate proton services have to be easily swappable on the suspection of login to a compromised network

Totally agreed! UP UP UP
Users need a next level privacy layer - a standalone password.
PPass should be separated from the main ecosystem account with different password or even login too, but somehow linked to the main acc. So if the main acc would be compromised the password vault won't be affected and also payed customers could enjoy benefits of subscription

I agree with this. From a security/privacy standpoint it's nuts to have one password for both Proton Mail and Proton Pass!

Potentially helpful information for other users:
I was surprised to learn that Proton Support can reset the extra password (confirmed by their support team), while the recovery phrase cannot be used to reset it. This indicates that the extra password is not part of the end-to-end encryption process, but rather functions as an additional authentication step. It would be helpful if this were clearly explained next to the option to enable the extra password.

I also support the feature request mentioned here: it would be greatly appreciated if Proton Pass offered a true separate password that is used both for authentication and encryption.

Shouldn't have to open PASS separately once in the browser

This is crucial to me

Let this be optional method. Proton account or password account login does not make much difference. So implement, but as alternate.

My Dashlane subscription is ready to renew and I signed up for Proton Unlimited with the intention of not renewing Dashlane. Proton Unlimited seems like an awesome deal, especially the family plan which was my next move. Then I come crashing into the wall with this password situation. I can’t for the life of me understand how you can only have one password for all the services. ESPECIALLY PROTON PASS!. This is so frustrating. Looks like Dashlane for another year. Maybe by then Proton will have this figured out.
