These notes are mostly openly saved on iOS devices and can compromise privacy. So, let’s use a password or Touch ID on iPhone for security on Notes.
Steps to Lock Notes with password or Touch ID on iPhone and iPad
When you first try to protect a note, you will be automatically asked to set a global password for securing your notes by visiting the password section in the Notes settings. And in this article, we will be discussing all the possible methods. So have a look at the complete guide discussed below to proceed.
To set a password in Notes
Launch Notes from your Home screen. Tap on an existing note or type a new note. Tap on the Share button. Tap Lock Note. Enter a Password — this will be for all your notes, including Notes on Mac, if you use it. Enter the same password again to Verify. Add a hint if you need one.
To set a password in Settings
Launch Settings from your Home screen. Tap on Notes. Tap on Password. Enter a Password — this will be for all your notes, including Notes on Mac, if you use it. Enter the same password again to Verify. Add a hint if you really need one. Switch Touch ID to one if you want to use a fingerprint for faster and more convenient unlocking.
You must be sure that the password is strong enough that no one can crack it. Touch ID makes the process much faster and more convenient, but someone can try to touch the sensor when you are sleeping or, in another way, incapacitated.
How to lock a note with Touch ID
Once you set up a password for your note, you can open your note at any time.
Launch Notes from your Home screen. Tap on an existing note or type a new note. Tap on the Share button. Tap Lock Note. Use Touch ID, if available, to lock your note. If you prefer not to use Touch ID, tap Enter Password. If Touch ID isn’t available, enter your password and press OK.
A lock animation will confirm that the note has been secured. You must enter your password at least once before using Touch ID. For the first time, if Touch ID hasn’t been presented before you, enter your password, and you will be next asked for Touch ID. So above guide is all about how to set your Notes password on iPhone and iPad. Using this guide, you can easily secure all your notes with the password or Touch ID on your iOS device.
