In today’s digital age, safeguarding your personal and professional information is paramount. Microsoft OneNote offers a valuable feature that allows users to password-protect their notes, ensuring that sensitive data remains confidential.

 

OneNote supports automatic synchronization between devices. Whether it is on a PC or mobile phone, as long as it is connected to the Internet, we can access it anytime and anywhere. In addition, we can also set an independent password for each page, so that the passwords stored in different partitions will not be easily obtained by others.
