Password app / how do I enter comments for a given password?

Many websites also want additional verification such as pet's name or first car etc. I used to be able to enter comments when the passwords were in Safari, but no longer.

Governmental Websites, where I live also use their form of a 2FA where the Their 6 digit Code is sent to Trusted Device


In this case, a The Register Cellphone Phone number that is registered with the Governmental Service


Secondary like things like " Name of First Pet " are not longer


As for the Password Application itself to have those secondary things


As mentioned earlier - Not that I am aware of


An aside to this issue


Not to be too picky, you have replied to yourself, which can happen making it difficult to really know to Whom you reply is intended


To get the replies to your question in chronological order by Date 


Click on your User Name  >>   >> " Edit Profile and Preferences "


Scroll way down and look for >> >> " Other Preferences "


Change the >> >> " Default thread sort " to Oldest

Prime example


My wife has a Bank Account which Requires a secondary verification


In her case, What is the name of your First Pet ?


The answer requires manually inputting the answer


To be honest, that is the Old Way and more current websites use the Secondary Trusted Device mode

Thanks for your replies, but I was not asking for an automatic way of filling in a web site's additional requests for identifying oneself. Many websites still use code words like "first pet" or whatever. I would like to be able to store those words in the Passwords app as I was able to when the info was part of Safari.


Currently I have to go to a separate password protected worksheet where I keep these choice words.


There is also the need for keeping comments about the idiosyncratic vagaries of a website, especially if it doesn't follow 'normal' entry conventions such as many governmental sites which are often several generations behind in coding practices. For example, there is one site in particular that says I should check my email when the numeric code for a pwd change is actually going to my wife's -- even though her profile is correctly created.
