Merge passwords and aliases
It's nice to have Password and Aliases but the main goal of aliases is to replace the email to use it for a login, so with a password. Having aliases and passwords separated forces us to have duplicated entries for one login. It kind of double the entries for nothing and would be better to manage all this in one entry

Maybe have the aliases in a separate part of the UI, but when you create a login that links to an alias, then on the Proton Pass card for that login there should be something that shows the corresponding alias, along with a link to go open it and see the attached contacts etc from Simplelogin. Then a nice disable button next to the alias name that clearly indicates is alias is live or not. No longer need to put things in the bin :)

Aliases need to be creted separely because they need to be managed (you need to be able to disable them if you start receiving spam, for example, and you might need to create a reverse alias sometimes if you need to send an email from that alias).
However I agree with you. I hate that whenever I create a login with an alias, two separate things are created and mixed up with the password manager.
Also, aliases can't be managed into Pass, you need to go to Simplelogin to do that. So why is the alias entry being even showed in Pass, if it can't be managed within Pass?
A potential solution would be a dedicated area in Pass for the aliases, with deeper integration and pretty much same functionality that Simplelogin - meaning having everything integrated in Pass.
