Description

Something I grew to appreciate from BitWarden was the ability to see prior passwords for a given entry, and the date/time of modification.

I think Firefox does this as well now.

This can help with figuring out prior passwords, especially if a site accepts but can't use a given password (bad check on supported characters, length, etc).

Without this, I'd have been locked out of a few accounts.

NextCloud Passwords WebUI supports this already, it seems, so I'm not sure if there is an API or something to hook into.

Research direction

Start by checking the Nextcloud Passwords WebUI or API for existing password-history support, then trace how this Android app loads and displays a password entry. The issue names no files or tests; done would require agreed history data and timestamp behavior, UI scope, and a verification path.
