Did you know that every time you update a password or note for a saved item, the previous password or note is saved just in case you need it again? But if you want to see the current password or note, you'll need to open the individual item because the Password and Note history only shows the previous values. And don't worry, if you accidentally delete a history item, the current password or note won't be affected.
