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 not true at all because whenever I try to log in when not connected to wifi (even with offline access selected) it gives an "error no internet connection, unable to retrieive database". (Premium User)
Windows 11 App + Browser Extension (and yes I have tried to reinstall it)

I was considering switching from Dashlane to Proton Pass, but the lack of this specific feature is a critical point for me. I see this is currently ongoing, but the windows version is not enought to adress all the device i'm using. Starting on the browser extension, would have been better.

Mandatory for Phone Apps.
Bitwarden has a local copy that's synchronized even in the Browser Plugin. -

I lost internet last night due to a fire in the neighborhood. The desktop version of the app at first asked me for my password to access my passwords offline. I don't know my password because it is stored in the app. It creates a catch 22. I went to my phone (which was connected to my WiFi that had no internet access) and the phone app wouldn't let me access my password to be able to type it in manually to the desktop app. Luckily, the cell phone data service was still working, so I just disabled wifi on my phone and was able to find my proton password to view on my phone and type manually into the Desktop app on my computer. However, a few hours later, the desktop app completely logged me out and required me to sign in (which of course requires an internet connection).

Well, my desktop is online all the time. It's much more likely for mobile deviced to go offline. But it's good to see that you are working on it. I am eager to switch from Bitwarden, but right now there are too many crucial features missing. Like this one.

For me the crucial thing is a browser addon offline support. I use firefox and with no internet I cannot even log into my router to check what's going on :)

Offline access still does not work when two passwords mode is active, please fix.

I am running Linux and the .deb version of Pass seems to be working well. That said, I tried accessing the data with my wifi shut off, just to see how it reacted, and it requires my Proton password, which is ## characters of random letters and digits, I have NO idea what my Proton password is, nor do I want to know it. I would be unable to unlock my off line Pass application. A separate password, or length required PIN would be ideal.

Can we please have this for Linux as well?
It really baffles me how little attention even Proton pays to Linux, especially with it being widely used in the privacy oriented community which Proton is trying to align itself with.

@Proton that's great news and I have it already enabled for the Windows app, but is it also planned for the mobile apps? Already many times I had to wait until the sync was finished just to Auto-fill a password - thats's pretty frustrating.
Best regards from Germany :)

Its my understanding that a standalone application is planned for ProtonPass. It would be good if the user could login to the installed application and the browser addon connected to the application (like keepassxc). I find it quite frustrating when a browser addon requires an open session in the browser.
