2 years and no updates on this yet? Proton Pass already supports it, would be awesome if the mail app also did.
Like the other commenter said, I also live in a large urban city, and given how easy it is to change an iCloud password just with the iPhone PIN, using the iPhone PIN to unlock my mail app would mean loosing pretty much my whole digital life, as I use Proton Pass and Proton Drive which are also acessible if someone gets access to my Proton Mail. Plus, there is no Proton Bridge for iOS, so I'm stuck with the official Mail app, having to type my custom mail app PIN (which doesn't even supports letters or symbols, just numbers, WTF proton???) in public everytime I want to check my emails.
It's frustating how a company who claims to be focused on security and privacy doesn't support such an essential feature like this.
I'm sad because I really like Proton products and am an active user of most of them, but this honestly leaves me no option. Goodbye Proton Unlimited. If anyone else is frustated by this and is looking for alternatives, I'm going with iCloud+1Password+Fastmail+A decent mail client like Airmail or Canary.
