Option to save the login information from the password generated
As of now, after a password is generated the only option available is to copy the generated password. You then either create a new login information and paste the password there or use your password in a site or app and let proton autosave it. A feature wherein you can save the generated password along with the login information directly from the 'generate password' popup would be useful.

Why not just autosave them as generated password like Keepass does.
If I forgot to save a new login/password in Keepass I can can go to the generated passwords and get it from there.
In protonpass it's lost and I have to get a new password for a freshly created logon. -

I have been tripped up by this, but you can save the login information and add the current URL after generating a new password. It isn't seemless, but it ensures that the new password gets saved and that you can find it later.

Yes, when you are creating login credentials and let Proton Pass auto-generate a password, it should automatically be saved as a "Login". Imagine Grandma trying to use this and then becoming so frustrated on the first site they try it out on that they immediately abandon it. Definitely leaves a lot to be desired in terms of workflows. Other than this issue, Proton Pass works extremely well!!!

almost like nordpass has yes!
it should ask if you want to add it if you click the "use random password" button
also the same if you login to a website and the used password mismatches the saved one (meaning the password changed) -

Without this the "generate password" is insecure at best, and useless at worse. Please invest further in thorough user journey analysis, there are many holes in the flow as of today.

Hi again Jay, Same comment for this idea. Which OS and software versions were you running when you had this problem?

Not only useful, but neccessary. Coming from something like 1Password, where generated passwords are autosaved, I've already had a couple of times with Proton Pass where I forgot to create a new login after generating, and then having to go through the password reset. ( : | )
