from the team:


Hi everyone,

This week, we’re happy to share that two top-voted community-requests are gradually rolling out in Proton Pass:

🪪 storing and auto-filling identities

🧬 support for biometrics on desktop

Read the full announcement on our blog.

Identities

Take back control of your digital identity and securely autofill your personal information with a single click, saving you time when signing up, or checking out.

Identities include the following fields:

  • personal details, including name, email, phone number, birth date, and gender
  • address details
  • contact details, including SSN, passport number, license number, website, and - social handles
  • work details, including occupation, company, and job title
  • add custom fields and custom sections (available on paid subscriptions)

All fields are searchable in Proton Pass except for custom fields.

Biometric Authentication *\

When Proton Pass for desktop was launched, we mentioned that biometric support was planned.

Starting today, you can quickly unlock your macOS or Windows Proton Pass apps by using fingerprint/facial recognition.

\Available on all paid subscriptions.*

We look forward to your feedback!

You can also propose, vote, and discuss feature requests on User Voice.

I was so happy to see that they finally implemented this. I started the thread on Uservoice just after Pass launched and got an automated message this morning saying it was closed. I may be able to move my wife from Bitwarden to Pass now, although she's resistant to change just for the novelty of it unlike myself.

Very weird that birthdate is an arbitrary text field. No way to know what format to put it in, so Proton doesn't know how to parse it.
