BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The EN password is for sync'ing only. It is not a password to get into the program. If you want to password protect the app, you'll need to use a third party app such as Game Protector.http://www.gameprotector.com/ Link to comment

Either way, I don't know why it's "too bad". You have a free option.I store all my bank accounts data, my IDs etc...and also use evernote to write a personal diary...which contains all my thoughts..opinion about persons etc..which I dont want anyone other to see. Thats y I consider it bad...At least they shud leave an option to disallow offline login. Link to comment
BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 If you're putting sensitive info in Evernote, you should read the threads on security. Please use the search function as this has already been discussed to death. Even in the past two days. Link to comment
dlu 628 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks for sharing, this has been discussed. Please do understand that even if we force a login to open Evernote, the files are still on your harddrive. Anyone who has access to your computer can still get to those files other than using Evernote. Link to comment

Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,316 Posted December 25, 2012 Level 5* Share Posted December 25, 2012 Thanks for replies...Can you guys recommend any other notetaking app that could encrypt notes too? Evernote has the option to encrypt notes, doesn't it? Yes. Numerous programs, though, encrypt the entire note library. I think that would be the main difference between Evernote (only encrypts text in each note one by one) and other apps. In general, I think it is best not to loan your stuff to anyone, but if you do, have a guest account set up. It makes a lot of things simpler -- no worries about Christmas gift searches, for example, being discovered Link to comment
rattlerbred 3 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I don't understand why you can passcode lock the mobile apps, but do not provide this same type of ability on the desktop version. Link to comment
