Password protection? #350

Closed flaugher closed 8 years ago

flaugher commented 8 years ago

Are there any plans to add the ability for a user to password-protect the nvALT app itself so that the user must enter a password in order to start the app? Thanks.

The app is named Notational Velocity, and it has always had "password protection". You can read in the wiki pages how your password is used to derive an encryption key:

Thank you. I overlooked the Security tab in Preferences > Notes.
