Set Password and hide your notes from other people. 🔒

This plugin for Obsidian let you set any password you want!

ATTENTION ❗
Note that encryption is not enabled by default, and the plugin can be used without it.

Why do i need that?
Imagine you have something private in your notes. Well, you're in luck, because with Protected Note, your secrets are safe! ;D

Set password 🔑

  • Go to settings > community plugins > protected note > enable password.

Encrypt and Decrypt 💾 (optional, off by default)

  • Back up your files before enabling encryption to prevent data loss.
  • When you close Obsidian, your files won't be encrypted because Obsidian can't run encryption while closing.
  • To encrypt all your files upon exit, use the ribbon icon.

If you'd like to help with my code, feel free to reach out on GitHub or open a pull request.


Settings (all) ⚙

Password Protection: click Enable to set a new password. To Disable the password, click the toggle and verify your identity.

Protected Folder: select a specific folder to protect.

Auto-Lock: automatically lock Obsidian when you're inactive.

Animations: turn this off to remove animations. This will stop the lock emoji animation in the title and the blur transition when you confirm your password.

File encryption: Secure your files with AES encryption.


This plugin will be developed and added new features 🧬
