If you’re using the Apple Notes app on your iPhone or iPad, you can easily secure your notes with a password or Touch ID. This provides an extra layer of security to keep your private notes away from prying eyes.
To set a password for your Notes, you can go to Settings > Notes > Password. From there, you can set a password or use Touch ID or Face ID to access your notes.
If you’ve already set a password for your Notes but can’t remember it, you may need to reset your password or use your Apple ID to unlock your notes. You can do this by going to Settings > Notes > Password, then tapping "Reset Password" or "Unlock Notes with Apple ID" and following the prompts.
It’s important to note that if you reset your password, you’ll lose access to any existing notes that were protected with the old password. So, it’s a good idea to make sure you remember your password or store it in a secure location.
