  1. I did poiltely say don't bother with those kind of suggestions.  I understand well the concepts of encryption at rest and in transit and that is why I am not concerned about external threats.  Likewise, I manage my local data appropriately and I do best practice around password and locking my workstation (I really did not want to have to type those all again).  The "casual" observer is other scenarios and includes me wanting to allow people to look at some things but not all.

    I would *like* this capability, I know I do not *need* it but, since when did I have to only request vital things rather than additions that I would just like?  This ask is not going away.

  2. If Evernote’s issue is that encryption would prevent their server side functionality then I would be happy to share a common key with the application or allow some admin access some how.  My desire to password protect a notebook is mainly driven by a desire to prevent casual unauthorised observers, not hide my favourite recipes from the Secret Service.  And please, after years of following this thread, I have heard all the other suggestions on how to achieve similar but I would prefer to be able to add a password at this level of object.

    OK, a couple of things going on here. First, I think that everyone acknowledges that this is a valid & reasonable request; indeed,some of the regular responders here may have actually upvoted it. Second, though, is what to do about it the current situation. We users cannot change the code, but sometimes workarounds are available, and since this topic is very long, sometimes those workarounds get "trotted out" a number of times. Suggesting workarounds is not necessarily arguing against the request, or somehow invalidating it.

    In this case, there are some things a user can do on their own: using separate OS user accounts, and/or separate Evernote accounts. More work? Yep, but "batteries included". Or in some situations (leaving your desk to go get a cup of coffee, mentioned elsewhere), the simple solution is to lock your computer while you're away: in Windows, that's just a Ctrl+L and your Windows account is now locked; no logging out required. 

    We're all Evernote users here, and we all want Evernote to improve, and I'd guess that most of us want Evernote users to be able to use Evernote better. That's why I spend my time here, anyways...

    Fair comment, thanks and I apologise @DTLow if my frustration boiled over into unreasonableness but the radio silence on why this is not being considered is more than bemusing.

    Security is important to me  
    - My computer is password protected for each userid   
    - My Evernote account is password protected

    Instead of trotting out the same responses, that people could have read already, why not just accept that it is not an unreasonable request to have additional functionality so people may use the tool in the way they wish.  The volume, persistence, uniformity and age of these requests for additional password security for objects within the app is such that app level and OS level sign in obviously does not meet the wishes (which may not be the same as your perception of requirements) of Evernote's (paying) customers.

    I'd like to see end-to-end encryption for my database 

    >>does not address local storage

    Personally, my local storage security is covered
    - my Evernote account is password protected;
    - my devices are password protected both at login and screen-saver
    - on my Mac, my database is stored in an encrypted file-vault

    >>nor basic usability of having the ability to apply granular password protection to objects

    Evernote supports a text encryption feature
    I use the native encryption of attachments; pdfs, office/iWork documents, ...

    I did not say there were not ways to protect all the possible components but any tool worth its salt should want it to be user friendly and integrated.  The amount of time that this type of request has been open for and the scale of the support indicates that a need is not being met, regardless of the individual options people may have at their disposal already. 

    Please may we have the ability to apply passwords at a notebook and individual note levels.

  6. In this day and age, security is so front and centre in technology.  When there is a significant impact to someone due to a data leakage from someone's EverNote and it comes out that otherwise EN loving users have been asking for a comprehensive and user friendly way of protecting their data forever but hit with silence, what is the EN press team going to tell the media?
