I'm having an issue where the password that I have for my locked notes isn't working. Is the password for notes saved in the Keychain? If not, this seems a massive oversight and I don't know why. People forget passwords and the entire reason for being for Keychain is to give us a secure, encrypted way to save and access passwords.

Why on earth would the password for locked notes not be saved in the Keychain. I get that they’re not, but that seems like a bug or an omission and it’s really dumb.
Nothing you’ve posted answers the question: why doesn’t Keychain store the passwords for locked notes?
