This was suggested / requested in October 2018 but was it ever included as an option ??? Regards

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-protec…

VSCode for example has extensions like this one: GitHub - younthu/vs-encrypt-text: visual studio code extension for encrypt/decrypt selecte…

Thanks for the suggestion @laurent , do you see a convenient way to do this on mobile (android) ?

I use this plugin for that, hopefully it fits your need. Joplin Plugin: EncDecModeV3 encode and decode sensitive string with user password.

If you struggle to find a suitable encrypted text editor for Android, you could instead opt for using a password protected / encrypted Word document. There are for sure Android apps which support editing encrypted docx files, though you may need to put up with ads if you don't want to pay for a subs…

Joplin Plugin: EncDecModeV3 Careful with this plugin - it only gives you the illusion of security because cracking a XOR cipher is trivial.
