Unlock Proton Pass with Push to Mobile App
I see lots of requests to give more options for the auto-lock feature, but none specifically call out the Proton Pass mobile app to do this.
When you get around to adding more options to unlock the extension, what would be most helpful for me would be to have the Android app available as an option to re-authenticate. It already supports the biometrics (fingerprint) that don't work with the extension and it's almost always a short reach away. It should work as other password managers (LastPass) do which is to click a button to send a push notification to my phone which allows me to use whatever auth methods I've set up there to unlock my browser extension.

This is the one thing that is keeping me and my family from moving to Proton Pass, unfortunately.
Not all devices support proper biometrics or can be used by its owner.
For example, in my case, due to health issues, I cannot use fingerprint biometrics. After setting them up, they quickly stop working- no matter what technology (capacitive, ultrasonic, optical) or device. And a secure face unlock is only available on a limited number of devices
With Bitwarden, I can login to the browser extension or the app installed on my tablet simply through my mobile app. Having a long and very complex password would make entering that completely a usability killer.
The tablet I own (a Galaxy S9 Ultra) features face unlock, but it is not very secure and as such doesn't count as secure biometrics (neither Bitwarden nor Proton Pass) allow it. And like I said, using the fingerprint scanner is not an option.
To make a long story short: It would be awesome to have the ability to login to or unlock a Proton Pass app or browser extension by a secure Proton Pass instance on a whitelisted device like one's mobile which usually features strong biometrics and is kept secure.

If I want to use a school/work/friend's computer, an option to approve login from my mobile device would be awesome rather than typing my master password in a new, unknown device.

My current password manager offers this and it's better than having to login into my proton account each time I open my browser. I imported all of my passwords to proton pass, but then went back to my current pw manager because of the mobile push.

I am wanting something like this. I wouldn't mind if it were the same pincode as I use to unlock the extension on my laptop. Using fingerprints or face gives me scary vibes.
