Log into Proton Pass directly with its own password (without having to log into a Proton account first)

Personally, I use a fingerprint reader for this, with other programs, too.
The concept is good, though.
Maybe have different log-in options (which all serve the same purpose) available for users to decide what is 'best' for them. -

I, along with many others in this thread, are used to having a password manager to store our Proton credentials. Not being able to log into Proton Pass with a single master password, that is in no way associated with my Proton account, is preventing me migrating away from Bitwarden.

Having a password manager that shares the same password as email makes zero sense in any situation. Please Proton, add the ability to make your Proton Pass master password something different than your Proton/email password, "two password mode" is not good enough.

I've been using Proton Pass for less than 24 hours, and having to log in twice just to access my vault is extremely frustrating. This is my fourth password manager, and none of the others required this. My husband is never going to go for this extra step. Please provide a way to unlock the app with just my Master Password (aka Extra Password) as soon as possible.

Especially annoying when rotating passwords - brings up the need to maintain and manage a separate KeePass database.

It is quite bad how poorly the proton team communicate, this is a very important issue, with a lot of votes, where everyone using this service is vulnerable until this is fixed. This has been up for over a year, why is there no communication?

2K votes. Can someone from Proton confirm this is even being worked on? Where should I store my Proton credentials if not in Proton Pass? So I should store those in another password manager so I can access Proton to get into Proton Pass? See the issue? Chicken/Egg?
Please work on this

Totally agree with that we need a seperate sign in for PP.
Dont know if I would renew if it remains in its current state. -

Prefer that a passkey can be setup. A password is too susceptible to hacking.

When logging into Proton pass, allow the creation of a separate login password, instead of using your proton login password, or a proton user can stick to there proton password.

For me, what adds to the concerns is that all the password options like "always logged in", "PIN, or "second password" are not well technically documented. Or at least I cannot find a support article that explains exactly how a Proton password is stored locally (or not, or as passkeys?) by ProtonPass and where, and which password wraps which key. I really need to know this to the T in order to trust software with my utter digital identity.

I don't usually comment but this is genuinely needed, the only thing stopping me from moving from Bitwarden is this. Password Managers should be standalone secure vaults, something that BW has done right to a T. Although it's UI may not be perfect it's logical thought process from security to login process are done exactly right. Proton, please don't reinvent the wheel. It should be designed from password manager as the main central layer and any subsequent services (Proton Mail, VPN, etc.) are to be treated as secondary logins.

This is genuinely the only major negative point I have against proton pass after beginning to use it daily for the last month after switching from bitwarden. Pretty much the only thing i miss.

This is very important for the safety and comfort of the user. I would like each Proton service to use a separate password as well as an emergency contact in case you lose access like Norpass does.

Well... I was exporting all my bitwarden's vault into Proton Pass and then realised that I couldn't use Proton pass as a separated service.
If someone knows how to use Proton Pass along with other Proton Services, please let me know how, I am genuily interested.
I do not see how I can decently share my Proton Pass password with my ProtonMail password. The way ProtonPass is currently implemented forces me to have to log in my Proton Pass account to acces my ProtonMail account. See ? Need to log into Proton to acces my Proton password, that's wonderful x) -

To be honest it baffles me, for pass to not have a master password and having to use the Proton account password, ironically increasing the security risk.

I second that.
I don't want my email to have the same password as my password manager whatsoever.
My email is heavily encrypted. my password manager has a good passwort, indeed, but i have password there, that i can remember. And where i don't need 2fa. My passwort manager has to be reachable, even when i have absolute lost everything - phone, pc, everything.

Agreed that this is a blocker for me to switch from bitwarden, as the login for protonmail is stored in my password manager. I realise I'm saying nothing new here, but wanted to be clear why this is an issue for me.
Perhaps if you've set a separate/extra password for proton pass – which you currently can do, and its great – you can log in via only that instead?
Or at least some settings to let me choose to do that for users that accept that its less secure.Also I don't want to use a pin to authenticate when using the browser extension, is it possible to use the extra password?

For me it is critical that Proton Pass can be accessed with a master password instead of Proton's credentials as it is done in absolutely all other password managers.

I manage all my access data with Proton Pass. So on the one hand, it should be as easy and direct as possible to access Proton Pass quickly, and on the other hand, it should be as secure as possible.
For me, this means that Proton Pass needs its own login. And I personally would very much appreciate it if this were also possible via a hardware key such as Yubikey.
