I just found out that Pass has offline mode from a recent email they sent and found language saying the same in the browser extension (see below). Proton is blocked on my work's network for some reason so as far as Proton is concerned I'm "offline", but I still can't access the credentials stored in the browser extension when I'm at work.

Can someone help explain?

And this is from their recent email

You have to be online first. Then it stores the data offline in your browser.

When does "first" start? Or when does it get reset? I work from home some days and from the office others. I usually keep my computer on and browser open but I do lock windows. I guess what mean is why doesn't it hold onto the data from the previous day when I was working from home?
