HOW TO: Protect you private Notes with a password

/

Got a secret you need to keep in your Notes on your iPad, iPhone or Mac? Or maybe just a place to store your not so super-secretive passwords and login details? There’s no need to download any fancy vault-keeping type app if you’re looking to keep a few simple notes private since in Apple’s Notes app you can assign a password to any individual note! There’s two ways to achieve this, so here’s how…

1. Locking notes on your iPhone/iPad:

  1. Navigate to your Settings

  2. Select Notes

  3. Tap on Password (select the account you want to have a password on if you have multiple accounts)

  4. Enter a password and be sure to give yourself a hint just in case you forget (you can also use Face/TouchID if you have a compatible device)

  5. Tap on Done

2. Locking notes in the App

  1. Navigate to Notes

  2. Select the Action/Share icon

  3. Select Lock Note

  4. Enter a password and be sure to give yourself a hint just in case you forget (you can also use Face/TouchID if you have a compatible device)

  5. Select Done
