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:

Waiting for this feature since 1.5 years still not coming in Android

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

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.

For the Mac app for ProtonPass, offline access is not available by default (only paid tiers). I have a paid Proton Mail Plus subscription that comes with access to ProtonPass, and I still don't have offline access to stored passwords, which sometimes makes it unusable(especially while traveling). Please provide offline access across all tiers - it is necessary and not a privileged paid feature.

This feature is strongly needed for mobile apps.
I don't bring my PC with me on travels, which is where I'm likely to be without internet access.

I also need this for linux. This hurts even more that i need a password to connect to my proton vpn everytime I close the lid of my laptop. So everytime I need to quit the vpn app copy the password and then reopen proton vpn. Really ridicilous

Need the equivalent on MacOS

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).

Currently browser extension for Proton Pass (e.g. Chrome) does not allow to access vault data without internet connection.
This prevents usage of Proton Pass browser extension for storing login data for WiFis (to enter credential, in order to go online) -

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.
