This is currently unsupported. See:

- [[Feature request] Password or pin protection · Issue #289 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/289)
- [Password in Android APP and Windows program](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/password-in-android-app-and-windows-program/7801)
- [Access PIN (Will PAY for feature$$$)](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/access-pin-will-pay-for-feature/23626)
- [Touch ID and PIN code protection for all apps](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/touch-id-and-pin-code-protection-for-all-apps/3515/)

If you require a security measure like this on Android:

- Use one of multiple different secure notebook apps that support this feature
- Use an app locker
- Use an app isolator
- Contract someone to make a private build for you
- Develop it yourself
