Hi everyone,

We’ve heard your feedback that many of you would like to quickly add an email AND username to a login item in Proton Pass without having to use custom fields.

Today, we’re happy to share that we’re introducing a dedicated username field for exactly this reason! Rolling out now on all platforms. Simply tap the (+) sign to the left of the email field to reveal the username field.

Let us know what you think! You can also propose, vote, and discuss feature requests on ~User Voice~.

Is it known how this will behave when exporting and importing to other password managers? I imagine the username field will then be treated as a custom field.

Most password managers don't have aliases. So if anything, that would be the custom field.
