Proton Pass as a storage for a very sensitive data in readable format? (self.protonprivacy)

For example cryptocurrency wallet seed phrase. One can add it to the notes field (password field is occupied by my wallet password).

I can also add new field of type "hidden" to the login entry, where i need to click eye icon in order to reveal the content.

Beside login items, there are also Notes items, which does not seems to feature hidden field.

I assume that in terms of security all field types (password, note) and all entries (login, note) are equally secured.

But the field which is not password or a hidden note of the login item, are more vulnerable due to someone look behind your back or due to a computer client-side scanning (spyware third party or built in OS made to screenshot ones screen)?

What is your suggestion on storage of a super-sensitive data like crypto. wallet seeds?

Yeah I mean that's a great usecase.

Please explain in more detail and why, if possible.

I can't think of a safer place to keep it, other than cold storage. It's encrypted and backed up in a tried and true vault. The company has an excellent and longstanding reputation in the privacy industry.
