Ability to hide "notes" with asterisks

Most sites will give you a large blob of text with recovery keys in case you forget 2FA.

Pasting this blob of text into notes is the best way, however there's no ability to mark the notes section as a password, e.g. hide it with asterisks, therefore they are shown as clear text.

It would be better if there was the option to either add a "large text" field with asterisks support.

    @sleepycal: It's certainly something we can consider, but keep in mind that someone who can see the •••• can probably just as easily see everything else and Reveal the password fields as well. That said, one thing you can do now is create a custom field and set its type to "password". This won't give you a huge text view, but it can contain as much information as you like...and a small field is less likely to draw interest than a huge chunk of ••••. Just a thought. Cheers! :)

    Problem with the single field approach is lack of multiple lines. Also lack of **** means there's a risk of shoulder surfing when clicking on an item, the password may be hidden but the recovery codes are not etc.

    @sleepycal: Ah I see. Fortunately you can always make multiple fields like this, one for each "recovery code". That's actually exactly what I do for Google Authenticator. Makes it much easier to copy them! :)

    Ah yeah, bit more overhead but certainly a good workaround for now. Thanks for the replies!
