When I go to change my password for a particular service, I usually go to Codebook to generate a new password. The way I usually do this is by creating a new password field to generate the new password but keeping the old password around in case the new password fails and I need the old one back.
It would be super handy to have “versioned” or “history” for each password field to keep last 2+ passwords in case something happens and need to go back to an earlier password.
Thanks for using Codebook and posting to the discussion forum with this feature request. We feel like this could be a handy feature and will discuss including it internally, although it most likely won’t be revisited until after we complete work on our next major version of Codebook, Codebook 4.
I do have one other suggestion that you could utilize in the interim:
Create a custom label by going to File > Customize Labels and name it “Old Password”
Set it as mode “Password” and check “Mask on display”.
When changing the password on an entry, add a new stadard “Password” field to hold your new (changed) password, and adjust the previous password to the label “Old Password”.
