I fully agree. I should be able to lock Evernote with a pass code if I want to. That should be an option in these security-conscious times we live in with every instance of Evernote I have. But it's not.

Evernote on my Android phone and tablet have a pass code. Evernote on my Mac laptop does not offer a pass code. Why? Yes, Evernote is for millions of users. Good. I'm happy it's successful and will be around in the future. I depend on Evernote for archiving important documents. Just make using a pass code optional for those of us who want to use it. For those who don't, they don't have to activate the pass code function. How hard is that?

I hope you upvoted the thread. It would help if people actually upvote this.

Hi.  This thread started out about Evernote Web,  and @scruggles meant (I think) that password requests are usually for the installed desktop product as @Waco Ed has confirmed.  Plus @Aseem Bansal started this thread by looking for some way to mark individual Notebooks (Notes?) "private" which doesn't necessarily say 'password' to me.  Evernote might be looking at other ways to satisfy the various requests they've had.

However I apologise for being probably too negative in my first response.  It's not a question of "just" making something available - there are thousands of requests in the pipeline for mindmapping / tag management / colors / etc etc.  I agreed that this is a good request - but Evernote have to prioritize and fit development work into what must by now be a crowded schedule of OS and device bug fixing and maintenance.  They'll put the most popular and potentially customer satisfying features early in the queue.  I don't know where this request will come,  but the more clicks it has in the top right left corner,  the more impact you'll have.  I added mine... but I'm not holding my breath.

I was thinking password but if they can make it private in some other way I am fine with that. I am not sure how that could work in an alternate way but I think I have added enough details for their product team to make an informed decision. I was thinking protection at the notebook level.

I switched my one account to the old one but the other newer one does not have the option to do that. How do I use the old version for the new account also?

@scruggles

Could you please share this?

I am not the only one who wants this

@TylerWilliams

This is a really good thing that I also suggested

Hope this is done.

You should be able to switch to the Classic Evernote for Web in Settings by going to:
Settings>Account Summary>Evernote Web>Go back to old version

You know this is the best comment that I have seen. I was not using Evernote web so much back then and did not even know that the old version was so nice. The new one looks modern but compared to the functionality here the new one is nothing.

Hi Aseem! Thanks for the idea. It's one we've heard before, but it's generally been directed at the desktop teams. As a workaround, I know there are extensions that shut down certain tabs if you haven't looked at it in a while - possibly it could be configured to password protect certain sites? Haven't looked into it, tbh

Also what do you "generally been directed at the desktop teams"? Didn't get that.

...and actually you wouldn't have to go 'public' with a notebook to share it with your work account. If you opened another basic account and used that for private items,  share a notebook with your desktop account which you can open via a browser window if and when necessary.  Shut down the window and the notes are 'hidden' again..

The problem with multi account approach is that it is messy because Evernote has weird limitations of not allowing me to add new tags to a shared notebook. And spreading things  around goes against the idea of evernote in the first place.

Work around can be done. Multiple accounts is a work around that I am using. But that is not really convenient. Say I am sitting with a colleague and I we are working on something. Both of us looking at the screen. I need to look up something and I search. Now the search also turns up some notes that are in the private category. And the situation may turn odd.

Usually when I am at home and using my laptop I login into the premium account on the web. Now the first thing in the morning I have to remember that I need to logout premium account and login the basic/public account. If I forget and I open up the tab Evernote web turns up all notes by default in the order created. It usually contains private category and public category. 

Say I want someone's help and let someone sit on my workstation with me standing behind. They want to access the article that I was just reading. But hey I cannot let them do that as search can turn up things that I don't them to be able to see. 

I can go on with the use case basing on Evernote's motto "The more you keep in Evernote the better it gets". But lack of some features make it inconvenient.

Thank you! I was writing precisely that.

I guess people don't vote because Evernote team does not reply. I don't see any comments that they are thinking about things. 

It should be possible to add a checkbox to turn on or off this feature in settings.

I can always change the tags but this should not be a very big thing to change and can make evernote more intuitive.

Seems like a very good idea.

Hi

Or being able to mark some notebooks as private and a need to re-renter password before anything (search, context, tags etc.) is shown from the private notebooks.

Let me explain the reasoning/use case of why anyone would ever want this feature. I have a premium account and I have started keeping articles, notes in evernote. But before that I was using evernote for private stuff - diary. Now I want to use evernote during my work also to access the public stuff (articles etc. mentioned earlier) and add to them. Now I don't want to have my diary open at my work station. But I want my stuff to be at one place (the reason I am using evernote in the first place). So it would be great if I could mark some notebooks as private and nothing from them shows up till I manually go and unlock them using my password.

Currently the only way I could do that was by putting all the public stuff into a public notebook and sharing it with a dummy evernote account that I log in during my work.

My organization does not use evernote business and I am not even remotely interested in trying to convince anyone to start using evernote right now because of the following 

1. we are primary linux based
2. the web client is not good enough

So please don't suggest to go for Evernote business.

Hi

It would be great if the tag autocomplete works in a better way when adding tags to the note. Currently it starts from the first alphabet

e.g. I have tags the following 3 tags - > apple, green apple, black apple

If I type a then the autocomplete just shows me apple. It would be great if it also shows the other 2 options. I use multi word tags and sometimes I am trying to type from the 2nd word. I know it is a small thing to start typing from the beginning but it would be more intuitive if it works like this.

Thanks
