Allow us to add notes/custom fields to websites in the password manager
Hey everyone,
I've been thinking about features missing from the password manager built into Edge/Authenticator and the only feature that is missing and blocking me from switching from my current manager (BitWarden, previously LastPass) is the fact that I cannot add custom fields and/or notes to the websites I have passwords saved for.
Reason why Custom Fields/Notes are important:
- I can save my 2FA recovery keys in there.
- I add notes to save certain deployment keys/personal access tokens for many services I use for my work.
The notes, extra fields are encrypted and are usually just a few clicks away when I need them.
What does everyone think of this? is this a feature that'd make the built-functionality better? would you make use of it?
6h4n3m - Agreed, something similar to BitWarden's secure note would be helpful as well.
- the same to me
- Why hasn’t Microsoft included this yet? It’s necessary because there are many of us who work from mobile devices and it would make our lives much easier if this feature were included in Android, just like Google’s password manager already comes with notes for each entry or password record. What’s going on Microsoft, get to work on this matter.
- it's a very essential feature
You have no idea how much it would help in verifying credentials to have a field for notes and two more for dates. Original password date and latest update.
- I'm ready to scrap Microsoft authenticator and go to something else.
