Please add this feature!!!

This is essential for security.

It is a security risk to not have biometrics available for the browser extension, as people next to you can see you type both your password or pin if you have auto lock on. Please make this available asap.

“I have your Unlimited Plan and it’s great, but one major issue that limits me from using the browser extension is that the extension doesn’t support biometric login with protonpass, and I have to type in my code. This is problematic because I’m in an environment with a lot of people coming and going, and I can’t type my code in such a situation. I kindly request that you add biometric login support to the browser extensions.”

I would love to have this feature as other direct competitors offer it. As a paid user this is something that really adds value.

This would be great!

Will you consider on a short term to make available the unlock with biometrics browsers extensions...like RoboForm does?

I really hope that the browser extension will support unlocking using biometric methods like Touch ID.
a. For example, Bitwarden solves this issue by communicating with the desktop app.
b. Elpass (https://elpass.app/), on the other hand, uses a different approach. The browser extension is merely used to trigger the desktop app and autofill content, while all operations are handled within the desktop app.

I prefer implementation b. because it ensures that the data on the local computer is stored in a single location, rather than having one copy in the desktop app and another in the extension (even if it’s encrypted). This also results in faster response times.

This is very important to make it more secure. Also more convenient than having to type a code every time you want to add a password. Thank you for considering this!

I use some combination of Windows Hello and Mac TouchID every day. 1Password facilitates this functionality by having the extension defer unlock to the desktop application which is where the biometric authentication is configured (similar to the recent updates to the Proton Pass desktop apps)

Also Windows Hello PIN support

I was about to switch from Enpass to Proton Pass since I would love to use Hide My Email aliases. However, the moment I realized that I can't use TouchID for the browser extension, I decided to stick with Enpass for now. I hope Proton considers adding TouchID support for the browser extension in the future, as this would make it a viable option for users like me.

After I saw biometric unlock being added I got a fingerprint reader for my desk. Then I saw it's desktop only and not for the browser extension. I'd love to see this feature in the extension, either fully integrated or in synergy with the desktop app.

They just added biometric unlock to the desktop app! Hopefully browser extension isn't far off.

I can't believe that a company that's dedicated to privacy and security didn't realize how insecure it is to leave a PASSWORD MANAGER unlocked or locked with a weak PIN, please add Touch ID to the macOS app and Safari extension, this is critical!

This is super important to me and is a must!

Biometric auth. is a must nowadays!

biometric authentication is a "must"

Specifically, it would be great if the extension could support biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint or facial recognition) for unlocking. This would add an extra layer of security and convenience for users who prefer biometric methods over traditional passwords/PIN.
