How can we improve Proton Pass or Authenticator?

← Proton Pass & Authenticator

Keyboard shortcuts

Authy's desktop app is (was) handy in that I could switch to the app and start typing, without using the mouse, to pull up the account for which I need(ed) a TOTP code. With Proton Pass, I have to click in the search bar before typing to search. It would be appreciated and convenient if there were a keyboard shortcut to jump to the search bar in the Proton Pass desktop app.

Additionally, it would be beneficial if there were keyboard shortcuts to jump to different fields of the desktop app and to copy or edit them, without having to use the mouse. Currently the only option for such is to repeatedly mash Tab.

Thank you, Proton, for your hard work!

    I use it all the time on bitwarden. Not having a shortcut for filling password is a no-go for me

  • Mattia commented  ·   ·  Report

    having a keyboard shortcut is just essential, not having it slows me down a lot

    I was going to create a new post about the exact request. This is a very critical feature for my workflow. I would like to use Ctrl+Shift+L for autofill but a custom keybind is not a bad idea. The absence of this feature tempts me to fallback to Bitwarden.

    It's quite baffling there is no option available to create a form-fill shortcut yet, as this post is over a year old and the comments cleary demonstrate the crucial need for this feature.

    this is very critical for any password manager.

    to much clicking and switching between windows otherwise...

    I also come from BitWarden and hate it when the “Form Fill Symbol” is always displayed and completely destroys the form in 5% of all websites due to the CSS.

    I would also like to be able to hide the form fill symbol and only use shortcuts to make the input

    I use the Chrome plugin.

    As already commented, this is likely a duplicate or elaboration of #46860538.

    @Proton, is there a way to unify the two so that upvotes are not divided between the two? At the time of writing this comment, this particular request could have twice as many upvotes had it not been duplicated!

    This is a **must**! The second I realized this I went back to Bitwarden.

  • memmnon commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is truly needed! Trying to switch over from Bitwarden, but I don't know long I'll last without CTRL+SHIFT+L.

    How is this not implemented yet? I've been using Proton Pass since March anticipating that I'd be able to configure a shortcut key for filling a form before long. Guess I was wrong.

  • Noah M commented  ·   ·  Report

    I believe we're talking about the browser extension here -- I use the Firefox and Chrome extensions. In addition to the shortcuts mentioned above, I would really love to be able to unlock the vault via the keyboard. Currently I have to click the extension icon in the browser toolbar before I can enter my PIN to unlock.

    This is critical for me as well. Happy to switch to Proton pass once it's available

  • ptrsns commented  ·   ·  Report

    A shortcut to fill out forms is critical for Proton Pass to compete with 1Password / Bitwarden and services alike.

  • Lars B. commented  ·   ·  Report

    This also dramatically increases UX when you have multiple Credentials for the same Page. Autofill will likely give you the wrong credentials from autofill. A hotkey to rotate between different creds for a page were super convenient.
    Also coming from bitwarden and I really live this feature there.

  • embyveddii commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be incredible handy, sometimes the icon on login-fields doesn't show up correctly so a keybind would solve this.

  • Brian commented  ·   ·  Report

    I migrated over from 1Password and one feature I really miss is being able to activate a password search from a global hotkey. I liked being able to press a hotkey (for ex ctrl + shift + space) and have a search come up where I can search passwords and then have more hotkeys to copy username, password, one-time password, etc.

    Needs a shortcut to fill out forms automatically like Ctrl-Shift-L that Bitwarden has
