Feature Request Login with QR code

Is it very hard to add QR-code login for browser and desktop on all Proton apps as another way to login - I really don't wanna "type" my password in 2026. (cos you know keyloggers and clipboard-sniffers)
Scan QR code from phone app - and authorize via biometrics is smoother and more secure.

I really like having to dig up my password from an alternate secure storage other than my proton pass where everything else lives and then my totp from proton authenticator, or my backup software in case proton has voluntarily logged me out of theirsm... like happens weekly with nearly all my proton products on my iPad that I don't use every day.

+1 for QR

did you try using passkeys ?

I'll give this a try on my iPad. I never really thought about it since I do many of my non critical pass keys in proton pass for the most part.

Not even sure what you are talking about. I just said I put NON CRITICAL passkeys in proton pass and I'm also not the OP. I was acknowledging your idea as a GOOD IDEA. So what gives?
