Just in case this helps anyone else. If you're using a newer Mac (M1/M2) and running Ventura or higher- you actually have the ability to run the iPhone/iPad version of Proton Pass on MacOS. Surprisingly, it runs pretty decent. Also gives you offline access to your vaults! It's nice to not have to open chrome just to get a password for a native app.
Just in case, here's more info on how this works with MacOS using Apple silicon: https://support.apple.com/guide/app-store/iphone-ipad-apps-mac-apple-silicon-fird2c7092da/mac

@Henry, not to argue at all- I like to think we're on the same team as customers! :-) But if this was 2002 when I was developing VB6 apps, sure. But, I disagree that it's a LOT more. For example, if you're using a Mac, running Ventura, and have a M1/2 chip, right now, you're able to download and install the iPhone/iPad version of Proton Pass to your Mac. The underlying architecture of a dedicated desktop app wouldn't be too far off different. Plus, user experience- I would have to open/run chrome just to get my password to login to other native apps.

I feel this item should be merged with the desktop feature request. I would hope that offline access in the desktop app would be table stakes. If and when that comes, wouldn't that resolve this issue? A fully native desktop app can handle securing your data for better than a browser extension can and would be accessible at all times. Then sync deltas when there's an internet connection.
Why is there an ask for offline access with a browser extension?

Ehhh, this should never be done... This would be going backwards in time. The point is to have a single secure identity to access your secure services (email, cloud storage, VPN, passwords). Why not figure out a strong enough password that works for you and use MFA on your account?
@Z, claiming "this is very dangerous" might be misleading. As long as Proton Pass implements this correctly, your concerns are moot.
Servers that assist in the syncing of passkeys across a user’s devices should NEVER have the ability to view or use the private keys for a user’s passkeys.
So, let's hope Proton Pass does the responsible thing and implements this according to FIDO specs.
