Before you begin

  • Turn on Notes syncing in your iCloud Settings or System Preferences, or make sure that you use notes stored locally on your device. Notes accounts that sync from a third-party service, like Gmail or Yahoo, won't include some Notes features and can't be locked.

Set up your notes password

Before you can lock your notes, create a password that you can easily remember. And make sure that you give yourself a password hint. If you forget your password, Apple can't help you reset it.

If you access your iCloud notes on more than one Apple device, you'll use the same notes password to lock and unlock all of them.

* If you enable Face ID or Touch ID for your notes password, it adds the encryption keys used to encrypt your notes to your keychain — which can be accessed with your device passcode. This means that anyone with your device passcode can access your locked notes. For maximum security, you can opt to not enable Face ID or Touch ID for your notes password.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock notes on your other devices, you must enter your password, then enable Face ID or Touch ID on the device you're using. Keep in mind that anyone that knows your device passcode can access your locked notes. For maximum security, you can opt to not enable Face ID or Touch ID for your notes password.

If you forgot your notes password

You can unlock a note only when you enter the password that it's locked with. If you forgot your password, Apple can't help you regain access to your locked notes.

You can create a new password, but this won't give you access to your old notes. But it will let you password protect any notes that you create going forward with the new password. This could lead to you having multiple notes with different passwords.

If you have multiple passwords, you can't tell which password you should use when you look at your notes in the Notes list. When you open a note locked by your old password but enter your current password, you'll see an alert that you entered the wrong password with a hint for your old one. Why the new macbook pro is bad. If you then enter the correct old password, you get the option to update that note's password to your current one.
