Keep a “Notes” field where you can add extra data, like 2FA backup codes, for each password! I'm not sure if the reference here is to Keychain's "Secure Notes"

I'm not sure if the reference here is to Keychain's "Secure Notes" or the "comments" field associated with password items. If the latter, I've found (at least on older versions of OS X/macOS) that when Safari updates the value of a changed password, it deletes the comments! I used the comment field to add the (random) answers to security questions, and got burned on a couple of sites when I've needed to do an account reset and lost those answers.

This means if you somehow mangle saving the password (you thought you updated it, but didn't) the older password is still in your keychain with the older note and it can still be retrieved.
