Love this feature. I think the best addition you could make would be to add this feature to Apple Watch. Passwords with locations would automatically appear/disappear from your Apple Watch app main screen as you move around.
A few examples:
At home:
You go to purchase a movie on your TV, it asks for a PIN, quick check of the watch and the PIN is there waiting for you.
At work:
You go to a remote storage facility which requires a PIN to access. Quick check of the watch to access the PIN.
Picking up partner from work:
The car park has a PIN to access. Quick check of the watch to access the PIN.
Visit family:
Father's home has a PIN to access the main door or gate. Quick check of the watch to access the PIN.
Visit sister:
Want to connect to her WiFi. Quick check of the watch to access the password.
There are so many other possibilities.
You could also create a complication for Apple Watch called "Nearby passwords" (just like your other complications). Add that to the watch face, and one tap from the watch face to access Nearby passwords.
On the phone app, one small change you could make is to hide the distance (shown beneath the password in the "Nearby" section on the apps home screen). I can't think of where this would be useful, as the distance shown isn't going to help us find the items we're close to, and when at home I don't need to know that I'm allegedly 3m from my "TV PIN" and 6m from "Wi-Fi password". It also relies on very accurate inputting of location which is often not possible.
