Add ability to describe IP Whiltelist entry
Currently, when you add an IP to the IP Whitelist, there isn't a way to add a description. The result is just a list of IPs. It would be great to add a description to an IP (for example: "Azure functions") so that we know what IPs are there and why.

under Account Security, the IP whitelist, we should be able to add labels to identify the IP..

My need exactly! My request to your helpdesk was for a "comment" field, but the use case is the same.
My request was:
I have one issue, and I'm sure I'm not unique in this: I use your "IP Whitelist" feature to add security to the use of the API. This is a really good feature and to be recommended for all users.My use case is that I use the API directly from my personal laptop, in addition to its use from a server. The laptop gets different IP addresses depending on where I'm using it. This means in turn that I have to register a number of different addresses in the whitelist. Some of these are persistent - eg my home and work internet connections, but some are transient: each time I connect via the mobile (cellular) phone network I get a different address. My mobile phone provider uses addresses from a pool of different class B & C address groups, so it's not even like I could use a single prefix with a wide CIDR to set up a common whitelist address group. (Not that I'd want to - it would defeat to some degree the point of having the whitelist in the first place.)
Management of this list of addresses gets to be problematic, and it's easy to accidentally delete a critical one without realising it until a server starts reporting "incorrect credentials".
Is there any possibility of adding a "Comment", "Label" or similar field to the whitelist entries, so that the critical ones can be easily identified?
