No rage, just confusion as I'm sure it's something I did wrong.

I try out Proton Pass (web browser) for the first time and generate an alias, and then a password. And I remember adding a couple of notes to it. But I opened it up the next day, and the alias is still there, but the other info is gone. Nothing in the history, nor in the generated passwords.Looks like it was last modified at its creation, so I would guess that it never saved the info.

Did I miss a button click or am I missing something?

I don't use proton, but with Bitwarden you've got to explicitly click 'save' after making changes. I'd imagine proton is the same there; so you probably typed in the new details then just clicked away without pressing save.

Maybe try going into the settings and forcing a sync? That happens occasionally with the app on my phone, and I just hit the force sync button to get everything back
