Do Secure Notes exist in macOS Sequoia or are they now redundant?

I am simply after confirmation from an authoratative source, as to whether or not Secure Notes is available within 'Passwords' or whether I am unfamiliar with where they might live now if they have indeed transferred, and are now hiding. Thanks for any knowledgeable reply.

That's a poor choice of words. Secure Notes do seem to be "available". But you can't create any new ones. Plus, this is an Apple feature that Apple is intent on removing. If you have any Secure Notes in Keychain Access and you are using Sequoia, you need to move all of those to locked notes in the Notes app.

Do this now.

Existing notes still exist, no new notes can be created.

Apparently, the data protection keychain (where passwords and passkeys reside) isn’t good at free-form text.

You’re headed for a migration: Migrating Keychain Access secure notes to Notes app notes - Apple Community

Keychain is still available

Use Spotlight and type keychain as the search word

I do not use Secure Notes but as per image below

The ability for Secure Notes, appears to be still be available

Once you find the Keychain app create a alias for it and put the alias in the Utilities folder so you have a a quick access to it.

You can also type "keychain" in Spotlight.

Thanks 👍

This would be more useful is directed to @ MollyTea

The @etresoft suggestions is usually well founded

Though, as mentioned, I do not use Secured Notes

If I have something that important, I may use Pages with a Secure Password to Lock it

But that is me

Not your issue, but received 3 Identical Notifications of your above and none from @MollyTea or @AlWeir

Guess the Overnight Maintenance is still underway lol

Been doing an incremental migration to Notes app locally, each time an existing secure note is accessed.

Good idea
