Autofill intelligence and reliability
The biggest problem that keeps cropping up in user reviews is the unreliability of the autofill feature. Proton Pass often fails to recognize login fields correctly, fills in fields incorrectly, or logs out unexpectedly. Proton needs to make significant improvements in this area. Competitors such as 1Password and Dashlane have developed significantly more sophisticated systems that can easily handle complex forms, multi-step login processes, and unconventional websites. Proton Pass should use machine learning to learn from failed autofill attempts and continuously improve its recognition rate. A fallback mechanism that automatically tries alternative filling methods when problems arise, rather than simply failing, would be particularly important.

Machine learning and better auto-detection is great, but I'd be happy with simply the ability to teach Proton Pass that "When you are at this URL, this box here is the username and this box here is the password". It would then take note of the underlying HTML (esp. the 'id=...') and remember that the next time we come to this URL, it should look for that id and if it finds it, treat it as the username/password.
This would address several other tickets:
