Samsung Notes is arguably one of the best first-party apps, regardless of whether or not your Galaxy phone or tablet supports the S Pen. Samsung Notes lets you view, edit and create documents, and it is one of the best word processors for mobile. Another strength of Samsung Notes is that it is secure, partly because it allows you to lock documents behind a fingerprint or password.
Locking documents in Samsung Notes is a process that requires only a couple of screen taps. But before using this security feature, one need to set up a locking method. Want to keep Samsung Notes documents safe from prying eyes, here’s everything one need to know.
Open Samsung Notes, tap the hamburger menu in the upper left corner of the main screen, tap the cog icon to go to “Settings,” and access “Note unlock methods.”
Set up a password, and optionally, you can turn fingerprint authentication for your Samsung Notes documents On or Off by tapping the toggle switch.
Open or create a document one wants to lock, tap the options button in the top-right corner of the screen (the one that looks like three vertical dots), and tap the “Lock” icon in the pop-up window. It’s located right between the Favorite (Star-shaped) and Share buttons.
