If you're signed in to iCloud with a Managed Apple ID, you can't lock your notes. Also, you can only use Touch ID on a Mac that has a Touch Bar or Touch ID power button.

Before you begin

• Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the the latest version of iOS or iPadOS and your Mac to latest version of macOS.
• Turn on Notes syncing in your iCloud Settings or System Preferences, or make sure that you use notes stored locally on your device. Notes accounts that sync from a third-party service, like Gmail or Yahoo, won't include some Notes features and can't be locked.

Set up your notes password

Before you can lock your notes, create a password that you can easily remember. And make sure that you give yourself a password hint. If you forget your password, Apple can't help you reset it.

If you access your iCloud notes on more than one Apple device, you'll use the same notes password to lock and unlock all of them.

* If you enable Face ID or Touch ID for your notes password, it adds the encryption keys used to encrypt your notes to your keychain — which can be accessed with your device passcode. This means that anyone with your device passcode can access your locked notes. For maximum security, you can opt to not enable Face ID or Touch ID for your notes password.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

You can create a password in your device Settings or directly in the Notes app. Then you can enable Face ID or Touch ID, so that you can use your face or fingerprint to unlock your protected notes.

You can create a new password, but this won’t give you access to your old notes. But it will let you password protect any notes that you create going forward with the new password. This could lead to you having multiple notes with different passwords.

If you have multiple passwords, you can't tell which password you should use when you look at your notes in the Notes list. When you open a note locked by your old password but enter your current password, you'll see an alert that you entered the wrong password with a hint for your old one. If you then enter the correct old password, you get the option to update that note's password to your current one.
