Noted Security FAQ
Q: Can Noted see my notes?
A: No. Your data is encrypted and stored securely on your Apple device and Apple’s iCloud server (if sync is enabled). We cannot access your notes.
Q: What if I forget my password?
A: We cannot help recover locked notes if you forget your password. Always add a password hint when creating a new password.
Q: How does locking work across my devices?
A: Lock status syncs instantly. When you lock a note on your iPhone, the same password protection applies immediately to that note on your iPad, Mac, and other devices.
Q: What if my other device doesn’t have Touch ID/Face ID?
A: We’ll ask for your password instead.
Q: Why isn’t Touch ID/Face ID working?
A: Check that you’ve allowed Noted to access Touch ID/Face ID in your iOS settings (Settings > Touch ID/Face ID & Password). Once enabled, Noted will use biometric authentication instead of passwords until manually disabled.
Reset a Lost or Forgotten Password (for Mac user only)
Since there’s no direct way to reset your Noted password, we strongly recommend adding a password hint when creating a new password.
However, if you’re a Mac user, you may be able to retrieve or change your password using iCloud Keychain. Here’s how:
- Open Keychain Access on your Mac.
- Search for com.digitalworkroom.noted.
- Locate the item labeled password and double-click it.
- Click Show Password (you may need to enter your Mac password).
🔹 Make sure iCloud Keychain is enabled on all your devices to sync any changes across them.
⚠️ If you can’t recover your password, you won’t be able to access previously locked notes.
