Steps To Reproduce
- Go to "My vault"
- Click on "Secure note"
- Click on "+"
- Write a title and note
- Click on "Additional options"
- Enable "Master password re-prompt"
- Click "Save"
- Click the newly created note
Expected Result
The note content to be inaccessible before the master password is re-entered, in accordance to the "Master password re-prompt" option, and consistent with the browser extension.
Actual Result
The note content is visible without re-entering the master password. The master password is only required to edit the note.

No response
Additional Context
This is not a duplicate of #5153. #5153 is about hidden field history, this is about the secure note "Note" field. (nothing to do with the edit history)
This is not a duplicate of #4549. #4549 is about hidden fields (only directly after creation?), this is about the secure note "Note" field, being visible all the time.
I believe this is a bug and not a feature request, because:
- The expected behavior is there on desktop
- The current behavior is obviously harmful to privacy
- The text "Master password re-prompt" does not convey that it is still possible to view the note, and this behavior can thus be unexpected for many users.
Even though this behavior is documented, not many people read this documentation.
