Offline access
It would be helpful if you could add, amend or do other things in Pass when there is no internet connection. It’s prohibitive without this ability.

Subscribers now have access to offline view with the introduction of the Proton Pass desktop app for Windows:

This is a minimum viable product feature. Connecting to a new wifi on airports and flights is exactly when you would need an alias and a new login. A disgrace that this is not implemented on ios.

In the Android app, the + button will not even work when offline, which is disappointing as we can't access the password generator feature when we need to do so while offline.

Please add offline access for the Proton Pass mobile app, particularly iOS, like you did for the Windows app. I recently switched from 1Password to Proton Pass but then, on a flight where I didn't have internet, discovered that I couldn't access my passwords offline, which was a big inconvenience. And I can imagine many scenarios, e.g., an emergency, where accessing passwords offline would be essential.

This is a critical need for any password manager. Have run into issues multiple times while traveling. I found an issue today where the browser extension didn't work offline while traveling, but for MacOS, was able to use my additional password to login. Offline also worked on iOS. This is improved from the past. Waiting on the extension but good progress. *comment edited after running MacOS/iOS offline validation tests*

Currently, when you setup a pin on the Linux desktop app and are offline, you cannot even interact with the app. This discourages people from actually using the PIN option, and is not secure.
I'd like to be able to at least use the app on a read-only basis while having a pin.
Furthermore, to say proper offline support is there, we'd need to have read and write support for the app, such that the server syncs once you have internet.
Thanks for the product!

Offline first is a must. I can't rely on a password manager that is locking myself out without an internet connection.

Mac OS?

Upvote. This needs to be addressed for mobile OS next.

Critical for the Android App (for physical vaults in the basement of our Company)

Being able to not only view, but also modify proton pass offline and have the changes sync once you reconnect would be a game changer.
I used to use Enpass solely because of this feature. VPNs that block things, being in a foreign country, or just setting up your wifi are all cases where not being able to modify things offline is extremely necessary.
It also means that the app is better for people with an unstable wifi connection as well since synchronization can be retried/paused in the background without interrupting the user experience.

I'd like the browser extension to be fully usable without an internet connection, here is my use case. I use Pass across devices. On my work computer, which I cannot install software on without admin approval (but can install browser extensions), Pass is blocked on the network. It's usable when I work from home and don't need to connect to the VPN. However, when I'm on VPN and when I'm on site, Pass is blocked at the network level.
What's weird is sometimes, the Pass browser extension does work when I'm on site, but it's rare. Sometimes it works for a little and then stops working. If it just fully worked without the need for internet access, it would be extremely helpful.

As others have said this is a critical path item for me. Currently I am using Spectre which calculates the password on the fly using the user name, passphrase for the app, the name of the domain/item to use that password, and the password length to calculate it locally. Basically if one has that information the items can be calculated on the fly.
I kept a list of the domain and password complexity synced on my devices. I could then either use a local webpage on my computer to calculate passwords as I needed. The laborious process of keeping that information, followed by more bugs in the iOS apps, is why I am looking at other solutions.
Perhaps an approach like that could work and speed development for desktop OSes..

Please offline first, I am not always connected to the internet, besides who know if the government decides to block network access to proton servers.
And please also for Linux

I meant this important to fix and your post underrated

Yes, what is holding me back from migrating fully to Proton Pass is that on my MacBook, I cannot access my vault without internet. Deal breaker.

A great idea.

Earlier this morning I was completely locked out of most of my important accounts because of an outage with Proton services. I was not using the desktop app so I had not set up offline access yet. But further still, if I don't have my laptop I would be locked out of everything. It put off work for HOURS. Long time supporter of Proton, but this has changed my perspective that in it's current state: I cannot rely on Proton. I'm already migrating/installing redundant systems. Silly of me not to do that in the first place but this morning was a small nightmare.

Definitely need this for when Proton is down. I suggest integrating with a hardware device like Trezor. Most will want Dropbox or Google Drive encrypted integration, but to me, that's the last resort. Much, much harder if not impossible to hack a Trezor.
