I just finished reading: https://proton.me/support/pass-extra-password, that's not what I voted for. I think this is not a bad thing what you implemented as "extra layer of security" but I want to set my "Proton Account" password to be some super random ultra long gibberish and my "Proton Pass" password to some secure but somehow memorable. I want to unlock the "Proton Pass" with the "Proton Pass" password and if I want to sign in to my Proton Account, let's say to read my mails I am going to copy out the "super random ultra long gibberish" Proton Account password to sign in into everything else besides the Proton Pass Account.

As I already mentioned, I think the "extra password" feature as implemented can be good for some people, but a "seperate password only for Proton Pass" is what we requested.

I think what the community asked for was a separate password for Proton Pass, but not the additional one.

As I understand it, a separate password was asked for was to make Proton Pass an independent (from the Proton account) place to keep your passwords and other confidential data.

I am not entirely sure the additional password would do the same job as a separate password.

I think there has been a miss communication with what has been requested vs what has delivered (which I think is a great option to have might I add)

But this isn't quite what was requested / voted for by users :(

An alternate password is wanted for Pass, a sperate password from the one used to log into the rest of the Proton suite of apps.

this was not the idea proton. it was not. come on.

Literally what was requested by https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584-proton-pass/suggestions/46727686-separate-password-for-proton-pass

The prior request was closed claiming an unrelated feature completed it.

The request asks for a single separate password instead of the full account password, not a second password. As described in the request quite clearly, the purpose is to allow the Proton email password to be stored in Proton Pass.

Separate password! NOT an additional password. Good grief!

There's no prospect of me ever applying a second password to Pass. (There's also no prospect of me ever paying for Pass while the desktop app is 'dark mode' only.)

Congratulations, Proton, on taking your first step towards enshittification.

From what your proton pass email says this is not what we asked for at all.

Looks like proton didn't really understand the feature request. They are implementing an extra password (you will need two passwords to unlock proton pass) but the feature request is about having a separate, independent password (you only need this password to unlock proton pass, you can save your proton mail password in proton pass).

Thanks for this, after this is done I'm gladly moving from BitWarden to Pass.
P.M has an excellent question, when can we expect this feature to be released?

How long do you guys think that this will take before this feature get released?

Please add other login methods for users to choose between. Just having the PIN on PC seems unsafe. It would be great if entering a Masterpassword (such as with Bitwarden) or using a physical key would be possible.

Proton Team, thanks so much for this feature! Now, it would be great to also support the option to unlock using a security key like Yubikey as well instead of just signing in for the 1st time.

Great news! Thanks.

Yippee! Glad about this development (separate password for Proton Pass)!

Fantastic news! Thank you so much!

Took some time, but I'm glad to see it happen! This is genuinely exciting news

I have some sensitive data, and there's some really, really sensitive data . For the former using proton pass itself is fine.

For the latter, I really want an additional password so even if initial proton password is compromised the data is still ok.

Even better, provide 2 passwords (essentially 2 vaults), where one password goes to 1 vault, and 1 go to the other. This use case is when I am under duress to provide info to a kidnapper, for instance. I can give a password that unlocks and seems ok, but it contains fake data, which keeping the true vault safe.

Truecrypt has this feature that I really want to see in proton pass

Ich geh sogar nch einen schritt weiter
Seperates PW JA
Änderung auf Passwortloses einloggen versus hardware key > Yubikey etc
zwangs einbindung eines 2fa´s selbst mit hardwareschlüsselm ( 2 passwort prinzip )
Der 2fa beispielsweise irgendein authenticator + den hardwarekey ist schon recht safe, passwörter hingegen können zufallstreffer haben ^^ und meistens merkt man die sich, der 2fa ist generiert und einmalig und nur für kurze zeit gültig, der hardwarekey schickt seinen key zum dienst und der fügt dem key einen weiteren teil hinzu worauf hin der hardwarekey diesen prüft und authentifiziert und dann erst schickt er den verschlüsselten key los worauf hin die gegenparteil diesen wiedererkennt und verwenden kann. So die drehe.

If I switched to Proton Pass at present, my username is my public facing email address, which has been sold God-knows-how-many times across the internet. In addition, as the one password I'll have to be able to remember, I'll need to switch the account password to something less secure than the intense string of characters generated by my current password service.

While my current password solution password isn't optimally secure, the service I use isn't a matter of public record (i.e. no @protonmail.com) and the login I use is exclusively for that service (not my public facing primary email address).

Oh, and it would also unlock my proton drive and calendar. Right now this is a hard pass.

I would love to see an opt-in feature that adds:

1. An extra password (like the mailbox password) or its own password to proton pass.

2. The ability to select which alias is used to log in, defaulting back to the proton mail address should the alias (accidentally) be deleted.

3. An optional extra 2fa just for proton pass wouldn’t be too bad either.

Short summary, (optional) separate/extra credentials for accessing the vault than the credentials for all proton services.

This would be great and I think could also be implemented in a way that doesn’t break the current user experience for those that don’t feel like they require this extra security.

It would highly likely also bring more users to Proton Pass from other password managers.
