Proton has shared its latest roadmap for Proton Pass, and it shows the company is preparing some important upgrades. The upcoming changes aim to make Proton Pass more useful for both regular users and developers.
The update is expected to roll out over the next few months, with features like folders, an SSH agent, and biometric unlock support.
One of the most requested features is folder support. Proton has confirmed that it is working on it, but it is not a simple addition. It needs to rethink its cryptography model to support folders properly. This is important because Proton Pass is built around end-to-end encryption, and even small structural changes require careful handling.
Once available, users will be able to organise logins and notes into folders and subfolders. They will also be able to share specific folders with others.
Right now, users can only share individual items or entire vaults. Folder-level sharing will give more flexibility.
Another major feature in development is an SSH agent. This will allow users to store SSH keys inside Proton Pass and use them directly for developer workflows like Git operations or remote server access.
Instead of saving private keys on the local system, users will be able to authenticate SSH sessions, sign Git commits, and use stored keys securely through Proton Pass. Access will be protected through biometric prompts, adding an extra layer of security.
This move puts Proton Pass closer to competitors like 1Password and Bitwarden, which already offer similar features for developers.
Proton is also improving its browser extension. The extension will soon support biometric unlock using fingerprint sensors or Face ID. This feature will first roll out on macOS and Chromium-based browsers. Support for more platforms is expected later.
Along with these headline features, Proton is also working on iFrame autofill support for complex login pages like banking sites and full offline mode for accessing saved data without internet. These changes may seem small, but they improve real-world usability, especially on websites where autofill often fails.
Since its launch in 2023, Proton Pass has been updated regularly. Over the past year, it has added several important features. These updates show that Proton is serious about competing in the password manager space.
With these updates, Proton is clearly pushing Proton Pass beyond a basic password manager. It is slowly becoming a full security tool for both individuals and teams.
