Currently the Notes field in a login behaves oddly, at least on Android. Touching the text field highlights the field but won't let you select any text. For that you have to go to edit mode. It should allow you to select text but in a read only mode.

It uses a standard Xamarin Label so I'm not sure why you cant select it for copy. Will have to investigate.

TextIsSelectable is by default false on Android TextView
Also, I don't think it's a good idea to enable text selection on a Label, gives unnecessary selection while trying to scroll.

I added a copy when tapped function in the next release. Is this sufficient?

It won't allow me to copy individual words, would it?

In my password manager I have security questions(randomized, because questions are insecure) and other important stuff, as well as previous passwords, stored in the notes, these things are often complex or randomized, etc so I'd need to be able to copy them individually.

I am a little leery to enable the TextIsSelectable option mentioned above that @Shan11812 mentioned. I'll have to test it out more.

I hear you, but I know that lastpass handles this just fine with the behavior I described. Admittedly I should use custom fields, but those aren't trivial to add in any password manager on a per site basis and they seem to be inflexible in general.
