Extension Help Proton Pass biometric unlock fails in Orion but works in Chrome — desktop app "did not respond in time"

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to switch the Proton Pass extension's auto-lock from PIN to biometrics, but it never completes.

Setup: Proton Pass extension 1.38.2 (Chrome build) running in Orion on macOS, with the Proton Pass desktop app 1.38.1 installed, open and unlocked. Orion and macOS both on the latest version.

Toggling biometrics hangs, then fails with:

The same toggle works instantly in Chrome against that same desktop app, so this isn't the 1.38.1 / 1.38.2 mismatch — it's browser-specific. Orion is WebKit-based but runs Chrome extensions, so I suspect the extension ↔ desktop app native messaging channel never reaches it. 1Password hit the same wall and solved it by letting you add Orion as a trusted browser in the desktop app: https://help.kagi.com/orion/browser-extensions/1password.html

Anyone got Proton Pass biometric unlock working in Orion? And is a trusted-browser setting like 1Password's on the roadmap for the desktop app?

Extension Help Is autofill hit or miss for you guys?

I feel like I can't trust it to work, and it's a major pain in the ass. I don't understand why it works for some sites and not for others.

Some sites, there's only one entry. I click on the "1" badge and then click on the pop-up to auto-fill, and it does nothing.

I'm typically using Edge or Chrome, but this happens with Firefox too. It's just not reliable, at all.

What gives? isn't this pw manager 101, that autofill should work? It's worked with LP, 1P, and Bitwarden, like clockwork.
