Folders and nested subfolders
I want to be able to use folders and sub-folders. I use strongbox on iOS which is based on keepass. It allows for as many folders and sub-folders that you want. I use folders to keep my stuff organized. I don't like having all my passwords and whatever in one big long list. I also using keepass as a bookmark manager. I really like the idea of your "vaults", but again I have over like 3000 bookmarks and folders are really needed. Also attachments with built in viewer is also important. I like to convert a lot of websites to PDF and store them as attachments, so I can view them later. Keepass is the only one that can view said items, everyone else you have to download said item to view the attachment.
This feature is now a work in progress

As a proton visionary user, this is the only feature that is holding me back. I really would like to ditch lastpass, but I want to be able to see my credentials in aggregate somehow. Folders, Labels, whatever you choose, search is just not enough for the quantity of login data I will be storing. Please, just implement something!

Tags and folders are completely different.
Tags can be used across multiple vaults, folders live in a vault. Two different features, both would be lovely to have.
Folders or sub vaults. Allowing to break up say a personal vault into smaller chunks for organizational purposes. This also allows for not having too many vaults which can get cumbersome.
Tags are useful to combine similar types of logins for quick reference. Example: if you have different vaults associated with different companies you might work with. Each of them have their own Google login. Having a google tag to show your curated list of often used logins would be helpful

Also, I read the debates below. I don't understand why people have to choose between "Tags" or "Folders". Why can't PP Developers implement both. It's hardly no code whatsoever, if you get cranking and have enough Diet Coke ... it's a long weekend (if that). For me, I really want to move to Proton and to PP, but it's hard to leave Lastpass without these capabilities. For me, I might just have to find something else, but I hate BitWarden's UI too. It ain't up-to-snuff like Proton-Pass is. If they only gave a little development to folders and tags ... wow, many people would move away from Lastpass.

For me, I would like to have a Vault named "Eat Out" (let's say). Then, folders like "EatOut--Burgers", "EatOut--Pizza", "EatOut--Italian", etc. Because so many sites now (or in America, it's this way) require you to have a logon on their website. And, so, these type of Accounts grow quickly. I don't just want to throw all of my EatOut accounts into one HUGE *** list within EatOut. Yes, it can be sorted, but it's hard to get a good slicing down of the Vault without folders.
And, to me, it's hard to understand that this is not already existing; and, if not, then I don't see how hard it would be to implement this. I'm a Developer, and it seems like a long-weekend change. Not something that takes months on end to consider it.

[Copying same comment that I made in the Tags Discussion, where it can help assist in improving PP with Folders (at least, first) and then a future feature (maybe?) of Nested Folders ...]
Yes, tagging would help. I can't believe that it doesn't exist. I want to move from Lastpass, but there are many shortcomings of PP that make it a no-go. Also, I don't understand the limit of Vaults, or (maybe, better yet) I don't understand where there aren't subfolders in the Vaults. Because I want to really organize my accounts (as I move away from Lastpass) and PP doesn't have that capability.
To me, both sub-folders, tags, and increasing the number of Vaults should be an IMMEDIATE APPROVAL by their Development Staff. It's hard for me to understand what are the reasons why not. Because they don't have sub-folders in Vaults, which is a drawback that can be overcome with multiple vaults. Yet, you can get to 50 Vaults very fast, if you organize your stuff really well.

This feature is the second in the top list, and it is there from 18 months now. Really, is it that difficult to add tags and show them based on those tags?

Yes! I'm in a similar situation where I am using Vaults to separate my business and personal. The additional organising of items within a vault would be a lot cleaner and easy to manage.
EDIT: I am currently consolidating all my pwd management into Proton Pass and Vaults coz it's an absolute pain using more than one. And I couldn't help but tinker and experiment with different pwd managers 😅

Call them folders or tags 1password has tags and each login can be searched my any of the tags. For instance tags: Email, personal, work, banking, social media, even an option to create your own tag. Then you can search by tags/folders. It can be challenging to search by title if you can even remember it haha.

This is a showstopper for me. It's a total mess without any type of organization.

Allow nesting to better organize the info. I'm using Datavault and the top level is Category with Type under that and Items under that.
So for my Category of "Financial" I have "Bank Accounts, Credit Cards, Brokerage, etc..".. Then under "Bank Accounts" are all of my accounts with account info, login, PIN, contact info, etc...
That makes it so much easier to find things that belong together. I suppose I could create titles like "Financial/Bank Accounts", but that's a bit awkward and I would still have to view through a list instead of a category to quickly find what I want. -

Needs more nesting to categorize more efficiently. I'm using Datavault and the top level is Category with Type under the and then the Items.
So, under Financial I have Banks, Brokerage, Credit Cards, Retirement, etc... Then under Banks are all my bank accounts with account number, login information, PIN, etc...
I suppose I could use titles like Financial/Banks and on, but that's an awkward work-around. Having top level categories just makes it easier to find things and have like items clustered together in a logical way. -

This would be especially useful when we have accounts that can only be user/password pairs, versus accounts that also have an OTP token associated. It's really cumbersome to have to go through the entire list to grab the one that has the OTP. It would be nice to be able to put all the OTP credentials into a subfolder to make them easier to get to, since it is time sensitive to get that code when you need it.

What's going on, Proton?!
Another highly requested and important feature after 1.5 years, yet not implemented.
LastPass has this feature.

Definitely needed! I struggle to move to ProtonPass without. But I prefer the tags approach that displays tags optionally like folders, as described here: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584/suggestions/46872289

This is a absolute critical feature, I am a former Kaspersky user since they have been ousted from the USA and their password logger has this basic feature and has had it for some time.
I am trying to find a new password logger since I have over 300 passwords for personal and business use.
I like to separate the job ones and personal ones like restaurant rewards completely apart. -

I agree with those wanting TAGS.
Note that tags can be implemented as nested, so they can be used as folders. -

As full customer, I would like to have the feature of a folder structure.
Thank you! -

Just waiting for this feature to migrate to ProtonPass.
A vaults different from a folder.
I want to have a folder for Social Networks, for example, and within it I could have Instagram, Facebook, etc. I could use the vault as personal, shared, family, etc.
I understand that these are different concepts. -
