It's frustrating that we're voting on this issue again, especially since the previously implemented solution doesn't align with what we initially requested and voted for.

The primary advantage of a password manager is the need to remember only one complex, high-entropy password for future-proofing.

However, the current two-password system not only fails to enhance security but potentially compromises it by encouraging users to create two separate, likely weaker passwords.

Proton has consistently had a willingness to listen to user feedback and implement changes accordingly. It's so weird that this particular issue remains unresolved.
We should have:

A separate, single password for Proton Pass.

The option to disable TOTP in favor of using only security keys.

These basic features should have been addressed long ago and represent the minimum acceptable solution to this problem

Came here from https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584-proton-pass/suggestions/46727686-separate-password-for-proton-pass (with 2190 votes) which was marked as completed, while not yet implemented.

Transfer the votes! Don't try to fool us

This issue is keeping me from switching from Bitwarden. I already voted for this once before.

Why force us to vote again?

Really bad that they force us to "restart" the voting process on this feature, when it already had over 2000 votes previously! The old suggestion was NOT closed since it's not been delivered.

Very disappointed the Proton Devs didn't understand the original request. I thought Proton was quite knowledgeable when it comes to security and sure enough needing two passwords and a pin code to get to my passwords is more secure but it's also not very user friendly. That's why originally users suggested to be able to use a different password to login to proton pass, not an extra additional login layer.

The fact that proton didn’t implement an already asked for feature they said they were doing and made their own version of it without understanding the core requirement of the original request is very upsetting . This shouldn’t even need to be voted on this is a huge miss on proton pass team and doesn’t give me great faith to use proton pass(I consider each proton app separate as each has their own development team)

If I could give this more than 3 votes I would!

For me this is something that's making me consider switching back to 1password or Bitwarden and is definitely something Pass needs sooner rather than later

This is the best option. That way, everything is separate. Something like a password manager should be as isolated from the main proton account as possible.

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.
