I noticed a "Notes" section in password items. So, I guess in theory you could utilize those.

But my biggest one is wanting to store secure files. Think copies of a drivers license, signed documents or various certs and keys. That's not being covered here either for me sadly. It's not a super common situation for me so I can probably find an alternative app for that purpose.

Edit: Also for notes, I'd just password protect something in the Notes app. But that's just me.

for this requirement i choose to use encrypted sparse files (can be created with the disk manager app) which i store on the icloud. is only of use if you happen to have a laptop with you as mounting them is not supported in iOS

I paid for Disk Decipher for this use case - it was a great purchase! https://disk-decipher.app

For iOS & Mac https://thevault-app.com does exactly that for me. Storing PDFs, or just plain images of passport, drivers license etc (in addition to passwords). It’s a bit on the technical site (eg, also has cmd: prefix for terminal commands etc)

Can’t you just paste the DL image into a Note and then password protect it?

I frankly just have photos of DL and insurance cards in my photos with tags to make finding them easy. Although note with the text searchable images that’s largely not even needed.

I don’t get what the security concern in. My photo reel is way more secure than my actual wallet.
