Description

Are there any plans to support [Secure Notes](https://support.apple.com/pl-pl/guide/keychain-access/kyca2268/mac)? Or is it out of scope for this project?

Why?
I want to safely store FTP credentials - not only password, but also username and URL. At the moment I have to expose URL (as service) and username. With Secure Note, I could create an entry with "MyFTPCredentials" as ID and "user:passwd@ftp.url.com" as value of the note.

Research direction

Start with the Apple Secure Notes documentation linked in the issue and inspect how keyring currently represents service, username, and password entries. Determine whether Secure Notes can support the requested FTP credentials and what project-level scope would be required; the issue names no files or tests, so completion criteria must be established first.
