Not on Windows version and Web version. It stays in iOS version though.
Even though I still use 1Password because Proton Pass is missing some basic features for me, I completely agree. In no particular order, for me whatâs missing is:
1) More item categories (passport, driverâs license, etcâŚ)
2) More custom text fields for items:
- additional passwords
- recovery codes
- dates
- addition email addresses
- addresses, phone numbers, etcâŚ
I personally always put the customer support info for all my items. For eg, for my bank Iâll have the phone numbers of various department, their e-mail address, my branch address, etcâŚ
3) Ability to quickly generate new aliases if weâre not happy with the suffix usernames that are being offered.
On the mobile app, if you select new alias, and youâre not happy with the suffix username that was generated (eg: .unyielding248@passinbox.com), you can simply close the window, and click new alias again, and it will generate a new one (eg: swiftly007@passinbox.com).
This takes mere seconds.
On desktop that is not possible. If you click new alias on desktop, and youâre not happy with the suffix generated (eg: .unyielding248@passinbox.com), closing the window and clicking new alias again will not generate a new suffix. Even if you wait 10 minutes. You will get the exact same suffix as before (eg: unyielding248@passinbox.com).
Some people are gonna say that if I go in the advance option, I can choose new suffixes. True, but those suffixes are with different domains, and they wonât necessarily be satisfactory.
My point is, if I can generate new aliases every time I close the window and click new alias on the app, I should be able to do the same in the desktop app. Especially if the aliases are not created until I confirm by clicking create alias.
I use alias for communication, and I frequently have to give my alias address over the phone. People often get it wrong if itâs a complicated word c.unyielding248@passfwd.com.
I donât know why, but in 2024, it still takes forever for people to understand when you spell out something to them. Even if itâs simple. Itâs an extremely common error. Iâve experience this in every country Iâve lived in.

Since launch Iâve been very impressed with the development pace for Proton Pass. For such a large platform, such quick actually wanted feature development is very rare. The SimpleLogin/Proton Pass team has really put Protonâs development teams for their other apps to shame.
Now that weâve seen timely and attentive development is possible with Proton, Iâd love to see them allocate some of that momentum to polishing their older app offerings too.
I do realize these new apps probably bring in the most new customers and receive the loudest positive feedback, but to perfect the large ecosystem they seem to be building, theyâll have to backtrack and round out their offerings at some point too.
Pass is definitely one of my favourite Proton apps, but if they had this kind of development, I think I could say the same about more than a few of their other ones too.
The fact that Proton always wants to create suffixes is bad UX. I donât want any prefix, just create a random allias already.
I am not sure I understand the complaint. You have to have a suffix if you are not using a custom domain. As for adding a prefix, it works the exact same way as on SL.
Are you saying you want the ârandom aliasâ option from SL to be part of Pass?
What do you mean by random? Do you mean a random string of letters and numbers like asd7524nff4@passmail.com? I personally donât like that. Itâs better if itâs actual words. Iâve used aliases for years, and Iâve frequently found myself in situations where Iâve had to read my alias to an actual person.
Itâs better if itâs words. I also think we should have the option of creating our own custom username from scratch, eg: janedoe.netflix@passsmail.net.

I also believe this is quite subjective and doesnât necessarily indicate bad UX.
It
It would be something like âword1-word2-number@aleeas.comâ
I see. I understand your position, but I personally think all the options should be available, including suffixes. Because I regularly find myself in situations where I have to give an alias to a real person, I like having the ability to choose my suffix and make up my own prefix. I often use initials like if my real name is Jane Doe Iâll use j.suffix@aleas.com
I recently used an alias for a government application, and I used the initial of my first name as my prefix, because I wanted to come across as somewhat serious.
I forgot to add, one of the main reasons Proton Pass is not an option for me as a default password manager is because it couldnât import 30% of my items from 1Password, which is 150+ items. All these items, which include secure notes and documents, canât be imported because Proton Pass doesnât understand those categories, and doesnât have the equivalent.
Once this issue is resolved, only then will I really be able to consider Proton Pass.

All Things Secured (video) actually also had problem with importing attached documents.
Proton Pass plans to have those.
However, @Proton_Team should really look into the secure note importing issue, cause PP already has Notes, so it should be able to import them!
I follow All Things Secured. Thanks for referencing his video. I was surprised he was ready to make the switch for his personal life and for his business. Although I use Proton Pass for aliases, Iâm not there yet when it comes to using it as a password manager.
I hope Proton solves this issue soon. There are so many categories that 1Password has that Proton doesnât support.
Another major issue is that because Proton doesnât allow bundles, many of us have separate Proton accounts for Proton Mail Plus and Proton Pass Plus. I really hope that Proton eventually allows us to combine our accounts into one, and to not lose any discount that we have gotten for our subscriptions.
My biggest fear is that they will never allow it. They really dug themselves into a hole because this was a forseeable problem.
