As per the Spring/Summer Roadmap, this is being developed: https://proton.me/blog/pass-roadmap-spring-summer-2026
Folders will be a significant building block for Proton Pass that will go beyond just helping you organize your items. Introducing folders will require some rethinking of our cryptography model, which we’re currently working on. Eventually, you’ll also be able to share folders and subfolders just like your vaults and individual items, giving you another flexible way to share access.
Folders will be available in the coming months. As well as creating vaults, you’ll be able to create dedicated folders and subfolders to organize crucial information for quick retrieval: you can organize by project, by team, by year, or whatever else you need.

I see 2 dimensions here:
- First is sharing/permissions and permission inheritance.
- Second is organizationThe single level of sharing is limited in flexibility... Currently I have to create a vault for every sharing scenario. A level of hierarchy would be very powerful. i.e. one vault where all passwords are shared with say a spouse, partner, or team mate. Then the ability to create a sub-vault where additional people can be added (i.e. inherits spouse/partner and parents/children are added).
Regards organization: I do realize many people use folders to organize content. I do as well, but find them very limiting. i.e. "Did I put that under the finances, insurance, or bills folder?: I've generally found tags to be very powerful in this context as when things fall into multiple categories, especially for things I need infrequently, I often forget exactly which category I stored it under at the time. As a result, I often default to search to find what I need. However, when trying to do good practices, such as changing passwords on a semi-regular basis, it is brutal to try to get a "list" of websites I need to go to.
Bringing those two points together. As an example, How to organize and find things (i.e. "bills") is often quite different then how I need to share things (i.e. there is a need to share access to the utility bill/website, but not to individual gym memberships/websites, yet they are both "bills").
Reading the comments... As other's mentioned, Pass competitors do this. I would also add that there are a massive corpus of knowledge on how to build platforms to accommodate how users organize and share information. I would give examples of e-mail clients, web based file sharing (<insert vendor> Drive), old school file servers (and file systems) where both folders and tags are already very mature and users have already found their comfort zone for use of these tools.
I've also noticed in living and working with other human beings, we all organize differently... Tags add the ability to have multiple tags on an item that accommodate each person's organization style would add additional benefit. Also, the ability for shared items to be taggable by anyone would be an additional bonus. I could also see value in personalized tags (where the tags I use are not necessarily observable by others). Also it would potentially give a user who only has "Viewer" vault access the ability to organize shared vaults.
Also, the ability to sort/filter by untagged so that untagged items can quickly be organized would be a further bonus.

TL;DR: There is a gap in being able reset the password to the account when a user has lost access to all devices, temporarily or permanently. Trusted contact(s) can be used to decrypt the data. "Emergency access" will work, but is overkill as it provides the trusted contact(s) more access then is needed and may not be timely enough depending on the hold down timer selected well before the emergency. The dependency on the trusted contact(s) having a Proton account is a level of friction that hinders adoption. The rest of the Proton provided recoveries require off-site backup, which is unrealistic to expect the large majority of end-users to be successful executing.
Summary of Key points:
- (Simplified) The level of protection for authenticating to the Password Manager dictates access to all other resources.
- The scenarios under discussion here are trying to solve for "recovering" access to Proton Pass when the password is lost. Reframe this to "Can Proton do a better job of recovering access to Proton accounts?" I think yes.
- The only way to gain resilience beyond what is already there is to have an "off-site" recovery.@Proton - your "Proton Account recovery explained" is a great document. It also clearly explains the limitations of those methods. Kudos. I think there is an opportunity for some content and/or wizard driven dialogs users setup the account properly in order to be able to recover. The nuances are a lot to ask of users. Even having a background in this area, making sure I configure everything correctly so as not to shoot myself in the foot would be great.
https://proton.me/support/set-account-recovery-methodsBetween fires, floods, loss/theft while traveling and the PC at home is to far away to recover the data WHEN needed. Also consider that when the "trusted contact" is the partner/spouse and will often be sleeping in the same house (subject to fires/floods), taking the same trips (all luggage gets stolen), that an additional "off-site" contact should be selected. Someone or someone(s) that will likely never be in the same place at the same time. This extends to scenarios as extreme as the scenarios of the device is confiscated or impounded. Especially since Proton puts a lot of effort into scenarios such as journalist, aid worker, etc. safety. This is a nuance that most users would over look and might be nice to see Proton include it in any setup assistance they write.
- (GAP) Complete loss of access to devices (or logged in sessions): And practically, it isn't just devices. As very few people have e-mails/phone numbers memorized now that we all store them in the phone. A "sandbox" access scenario, where the user can get in via an alternate authentication path (username/password). It would be highly scoped access allowing the user to initiate communications with specifically identified trusted contacts. Specifically, enough access to an account to initiate a request to a pre-defined e-mail address/phone number to send a "force log off" or "password reset" request. The login wouldn't need to give access to the trusted contact's e-mail or phone number, just send the request. Even better would be to send an emergency message (like a temporary phone number). I realize that compromise of this scenario could be a social engineering attack vector... But so can theft/confiscation of the phone/computer and the current recovery methods.. Whereas, it does provide novel value of helping someone who has lost access to their electronically stored contact information engage with their trusted contacts (something that I haven't found other solutions).

I also have several aliases with multiple contacts. Not 150, but even more than about 8-10 gets unwieldy even in a full screen desktop client.
While I know multiple asks in one request aren't ideal, these are integral into the general context of making e-mail alias contexts more manageable. Right now it is extremely frustrating to manage:
To that end I have several ideas and am sharing those ideas to facilitate community discussion.
- Default sort of alphabetical by name rather than order of creation. If I could choose to sort by both name or e-mail address, that would be even better.
- Better UI design. It looks pleasant at first glance, but it doesn't facilitate finding the information I need. I do see the value of the activity statistics surfaced... That said, I struggle to understand how they are valuable enough to represent 75% of the space usage for each contact "card". I don't know if others have a need to look at these in large quantities, but for my purposes a "kebab menu" option would work. Or possibly an on-hover. That said, I could see how users might want to look at several of those statistics at once, tabular format with a fixed header row are often used to display repetitive data. That said, there may be other more appealing options.
- I 100% agree that search would be great. Search is a very standard user experience feature at this point, and it feels very dated to have to use a scroll bar up and down to find information in 2026.
- As a note, it would also be nice to search from the main menu for a alias contact, rather than have to know exactly which alias it came in on and then search within a sub-menu for the contactProton User

Full support for working with Markdown in docs would be very useful. I wanted to share this thread where there a quite a number of upvotes for Proton to support Markdown.
Markdown support for Drive - https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/50095551-markdown-support-for-drive
Also, I think this generally falls into the category of preserving formatting on cut and paste from other popular document formats. Between PDF, Word, Google Sheets, web pages (HTML), etc, without doing extensive testing myself, there are several pretty common formats missing.

In addition to RTF/HTML formatting, there is a request for supporting pasting of Markdown.
In general, it is common to paste content from a variety of different formats in use. Preserving the formatting of common use scenarios would be helpful.

Reading the title, I almost dismissed this as it is talking about Markdown support. But when I read the request, there are several items in here that are important to me and it has a healthy amount of upvotes. So I wanted to share some thoughts... According to some of the requests, this is for offline caching and editing in addition to markdown format. And for some it is for Markdown support. I think this is actually a variety of requests, which generally get a response of "Please stick to one idea per request" from Proton (and any software development team).
To that end let's clarify which platform this is being requested for: web browser, mobile, desktop client.
- Regards offline ability. Let me be very clear, this is SUPER important to my use cases. My entire career, a significant amount of time, has been spent in environments with, at best unreliable internet. At worst none for hours of work and/or travel.
- What doesn't work at all in any offline scenario is Proton Docs and Sheets.
- In my experience, the offline experience works fine on desktops. I do edit all sorts of file formats on the desktop when the computer is offline by using the make available offline. And yes, Markdown is one of those formats.
- On mobile client, that also works, but is a horrible experience. Steps: cache on device, go offline, download file(s), edit file(s), upload file(s). Part of this is absolutely Proton's security design to prevent 3rd party apps from scanning (uploading) all files. But then again doing any serious work on a 4 inch screen is awful, so it only happens in a pinch.
- Offline browser support. For the sake of completeness there should be a clarification as to whether this request is for a desktop web browsing or mobile web browsing experience. That said, I've never seen any but the simplest "offline web browser" based application work reliably in the decades that web browsers and app developers have tried to use the browser to deliver local applications.
- The second is document format support.
- In a mobile scenario, when I think about how this applies to my use case and something that will benefit the most users, I would like to see Proton Docs and Sheets be supported offline. Also, the user experience of loading a Proton Doc/Sheet as a web app is really slow compared to the built-in PDF reader.
- In a desktop scenario, I would also like to have the ability to view/edit Proton Docs/Sheets offline.
- on the mobile platform, I would also like to see basic text editing TXT, Markdown, RTF, etc. where I can easily put together a pleasantly formatted document that I can send to someone over e-mail or another scenario that supports offline usage, yet still store it on Proton Drive without having to jump through the hoops above.
- Regarding other document formats... I'm lending my support to feature requests accelerating integration of Standard Notes.To that end, these are the specific work items on user voice that I could find for the areas of this request I broke down above. Just in case other's haven't found these and/or voted on them:
- Proton Drive offline editing support for Proton Docs - https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/48610982-offline-editing-support-for-documents-in-proton-dr
- Paste Markdown into Docs (currently copying from is supported) - https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/50648297-paste-markdown-into-docs
- Docs: Preserve RTF/HTML formatting on paste or load - https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932839-proton-drive/suggestions/51136852-docs-preserve-rtf-html-formatting-on-paste-or-l
- Support reading/editing TXT documents in Proton Drive (Mobile) - https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/51326755-support-reading-editing-txt-documents-in-proton-drFor the folks who want Markdown ability in mobile/desktop/desktop web/desktop mobile as supported format I would suggest creating another user voice request that specifies the specific scenario and platform you want the ability to handle markdown editing. In that new user voice request link back to this suggestion so that the development team can see how many people want Markdown in general. I would also suggest adding a link to the specific scenario to this thread.

I see this is planned. Glad you accepted this.
Please allow me to add that adding a "Link" to a URL to a specific piece of text in the box only turns that text into a hyperlink. Not the whole cell.
Please also note that this capability is already supported in Google Docs, Excel web, Excel Client, and Libre Calc. This is a request to gain parity in functionality.

Great to hear you are working on this.
Having the ability to "tune" this on a per website basis would be great. I don't want to tune it, but I often must.
There are a large variety of experiences in websites where they do stuff like put a "forgot password?" link between username and password field which breaks the auto complete.
Also some websites seem to be super slow going between the two pages and the password manager starts trying to enter the password on the second page before it is fully loaded.
Hope you all are taking these scenarios into consideration. Or at least provide the end user with the ability to fix them.
