Select default vault for entry creation
When creating a new entry in Proton Pass, the default vault is always the same, likely the one with the oldest creation date.
There is no way to choose the default vault when creating manually an entry. In most of the cases it'll be the "Personal" vault, but when the users deleted this one for a reason or another (I did it because it was the only way I found to delete the dozens of passwords I imported mistakenly in it), the default vault is another one, and sometimes a shared one (this is my case).
Beyond the inconvenience, this causes a security issue, because you may create by mistake a login entry in a shared vault instead of your personal one.
So, the same way we can choose the default vault where to store the auto created login entries, we should be able to choose the default vault where creating manually new entries (or alternatively this existing setting may be used in both places).

I think default is the first vault created with system, if you renamed it it will be default. So currently the best thing you can do is rename that back to Default :)

Indeed they are sorted. But the rest is wrong:
- real default vault is "Personal", even if you create some vaults with a letter under "P"
- my default vault is in the middle of the list. "Personal" is even before it ;)What happened in my case, is that I described above. I had to delete "Personal" to clean it (missing a "select all" feature), the "default" went to the next created vault availalable at the time.

Workaround: rename the vault. I discovered that the vaults are sorted alphabetically, and the first one is the default for new entries. Rename your vaults until the first one in the list is the one you want to use as default.
