Unlock Windows desktop app with 2FA
There are already feature requests for a Desktop App and Biometric Sign-In.
Combining this all together, I can unlock Windows via my phone's biometrics. With that, I would have 2FA.
Factor 1: Ownership (Phone)
Factor 2: Biometrics

Using Windows 10/11 feature secured by TPM 2.0 enabling access the vault with Windows password, pin, fingerprint or face recognition (although it could be less secure it is an option for the ones that want to do so)

Hi proton @amdin
Its there aplane to allow biomatric (s) For free accounts? OR You have to "pay" For it.

The desktop app should include optional authentication features to enhance security. Users should have the choice to enable authentication methods like a PIN, Windows Hello, or Apple’s biometric login. Currently, anyone with access to the PC can open the app and view sensitive information without restrictions. Adding these security measures would help ensure that only authorized users can access the app.

Lock with biometric (ex.fingerprint) unlock on every proton app that has sensitive data. There should be auto-lock options as well.

Like the iOS app which also runs on macOS the desktop app needs a login with fingerprint on Mac. Currently the iOS app has more features then the desktop app.

Agreed, I want to use windows hello, and not a pin to access my browser extension.

It is both inconvenient and less secure to use a PIN to unlock passwords. This is really needed to make Proton Pass complete. Thank you for considering this request.

That + Windows Hello support which is basically the same for Windows

I will not switch to proton pass until the desktop app can be unlocked with biometrics. There's a good chance I do completely when this is implemented.

Agreed. This is an essential feature that is the main blocker from me switching entirely from 1Password.

I want to switch to Proton Pass, but the lack of this feature is a serious blocker.

I'm suprised this has just a few votes. Such essential feature.

Proton Pass should support Windows Hello on the desktop app & all web browsers such as: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Brave.
This feature should replace \ add the pin code and it should be the 2nd layer of security to replace the pin code that can be copied \ forgotten.

I would agree. I've been using proton pass for ipad on my mac and it had this functionality. it also allowed you to login with biometrics, which was super handy
