A "simple passcode lock" does pretty much nothing except keep out the casual user. IE, a guest in your home who has access to your computer. It won't keep out a hacker. Exactly.

I know User accounts on desktop OS gives you an overall security. However if someone really uses Evernote as his/her Second brain, even a slightest mistake of not logging off or switching to a different user can cost big. It really depends on the use case. If a user uses Evernote for general note taking, to-dos and store clips then they probably wont really appreciate the lock feature. However if you are storing passwords, credit card information, banking information and other crucial details I think having an extra layer of security is a must. If someone really wants to use your Machine for

I wonder why isn't there a passcode lock for Evernote Desktop App? Other people with access to my pc/mac can simply come in and open my evernote and see my private stuff. I believe having a simple passcode lock (just like the Iphone/android) app solves this problem.
