Password Protect a QuickNote

QuickNotes provides the option to password protect your notes. The primary purpose of this feature is to make sure that you are the one looking at the note, not someone that uses your phone, desktop or other device without you knowing. A password protected note requires the user to re-enter their login password to view the note. Once the password has been entered, it is good for 15 minutes. Therefore, the user can view all protected notes for 15 minutes. After that time expires, the password requirement starts all over again. The body of the note is stored encrypted, so no snooping of the raw data can reveal its contents, not even to our tech support. However, this also means that the encrypted contents of the note CANNOT be searched. The subject of the note is never encrypted. Thus, for encrypted notes, only the 'unencrypted' subject can be searched. If searching encrypted notes is important to you, be sure to include a descriptive subject that will help you locate the appropriate note during a search. To password protect a note, follow the directions below.

From the |Navigation Bar| select |Notes|.
Select a note (or create a new note).
Select the |Edit| button.
Select the |Password Protected| check box.
Select the |Save| button to save your note.
Your note is now encrypted (to view an encrypted note, you will need to enter your login password). Select the |All Notes| button.
Your password protected note will appear within the notes section; encrypted notes will be denoted with a lock icon.
