A passcode on the mobile app or a password protected note i would to appreciate too!!
See point no 6 here - https://joplinapp.org/gsoc2020/ideas.html
I know this has been brought up numerous times before, and there's a very limited plugin (whose description makes me hesitant to trust it with information that I don't want to risk losing), but for me this is the last* remaining major shortcoming of Joplin.
I would love a native means of pin-protecting sections of text within a note (or whole individual notes, or whole individual notes including images etc.)
I remember that this has previously invited responses that whole-database encryption is natively supported in transfer, and that the whole database can be placed in an encrypted container. That's great protection against someone actively trying to access your data. But there are valid reasons to want just minor parts of your database to be obscured, e.g. against a collage accidentally reading something if they walk by whilst you're flicking through recent notes. The philosophy behind this is obviously already accepted, given that notes can be set to "Confidential" to prevent previews showing.
*EDIT: One of the two last remaining major shortcomings, the other being capability for multiple pop-out windows of the native editor

It looks like this is being introduced. The release notes for pre-release 3.2.1 state,
Improved: Multiple window support (#11181 by @personalizedrefrigerator)
I have not tried it myself, apart from doing just enough to get the above screenshot!
Amazing!
I had a quick look into "what is this Joplin thing?" about seven or eight years ago and decided it was too limited, not really worth it. Now in 2024 it's so close to ticking all of the boxes. Thanks devs!
