Import from BlackBerry Password Keeper to Proton Pass
Many security conscious users may have started with BlackBerry handsets (BBOS, BB10, or later Android) and will have used BlackBerry Password Keeper. Even when moving to other Android devices they may have continued to use BlackBerry Password Keeper for passwords, notes, and lists. This content can be exported in both Password Keeper encrypted form (.pkb2) and comma-separated value files (.csv). So that these users still using BlackBerry Password Keeper (which reached End-of-Life on February 28, 2022) can easily migrate to Proton Pass an option to import from a .pkb2 or BlackBerry Password Keeper formatted .csv file should be added.

Rather than delete this idea I will add this comment to document how I achieved this migration.
I will soon be forced to upgrade to a new phone due to the US networks that my Canadian provider has roaming agreements with moving to VoLTE for voice calls and my Canadian provider failing to 'certify' and so activate VoLTE on my VoLTE-capable Motorola moto x4 -- a 4GB/64GB Android One XT1900-1 Google fi model. As such I've had to migrate from BlackBerry Password Keeper (BBPK) to Proton Pass as BBPK has been removed from the Google Play store and so I'd be unable to install it on a new device. I have successfully accomplished this by using KeePass2 (https://keepass.info/) as an intermediate step.
I exported a plain text .csv file from the BBPK app on my current phone and imported that into KeyPass on my Windows PC using the KeePass "Generic .csv Importer" (https://keepass.info/help/kb/imp_csv.html). After verifying the imported usernames and passwords in KeePass I then exported these credentials in KeePass XML (2.x) format and imported that file into Proton Pass (https://proton.me/support/pass-import-keepass).
Although a bit long-winded this approach proved very successful and I have also used it to migrate my sister and my girlfriend from BBPK to Proton Pass. As such my need for Proton Pass to directly import from either encrypted .pkb2 or plain text .csv files exported from the BBPK app no longer exists.
