Apple Passwords reliably updates passwords in its database before the password is confirmed to be actually changed. I've been locked out of accounts many times to this. They really need to focus on these basic UX issues.

1Password gives you access to previous passwords you had for that reason.

Unfortunately not for other fields like email, notes etc…

IMHO the perfect password app could just keep all previous versions of any field until the user deletes the history.

1Password does do full previous versions. It might be a newer feature, I’m only seeing passwords, not full versions, prior to 2018.

I'm (slowly) working on a version controlled local-first password manager for exactly this reason.

Keepassxc is local first and has password history. Check it out before building.

It didn't have a good sync story when I checked last.

Does it at least store the old password for a while in some archive, like most competitors do?

It goes in the “View History” section of a password entry, with an option in the 3-dot menu for “Clear History”. Not sure how long this is kept

Not at all.

Yep. I get anxious when Safari starts to offer a new password for an existing account. Having access to previous passwords would be such great UX, but no, no such thing.
