Step-by-Step Instructions

Open your Daino Notes app

Launch the Daino Notes application on your device. Ensure you're logged into your account and can see your notes dashboard with all your existing notes displayed.

Make sure your app is updated to the latest version for the most secure encryption features

Select the note to encrypt

Navigate to the specific note you want to encrypt by tapping on it from your notes list. The note will open in edit mode, displaying the full content and formatting options.

Access the security menu

Look for the lock icon in the top toolbar of the note editor. Tap on this icon to open the security options menu. You'll see options including Encrypt Note, Password Protection, and Security Settings.

If you don't see the lock icon, check if your Daino Notes subscription includes encryption features

Enable note encryption

Tap on Encrypt Note from the security menu. A dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the encryption process. Read the information about what encryption means for this note and tap Continue.

Remember that encrypted notes may take slightly longer to open as they need to be decrypted first

Set up encryption password

Enter a strong password in the Password field. The password should be at least 8 characters long and include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password field to verify it matches.

Use a unique password different from your account password for added security layers

Configure security options

Choose your preferred security settings:

Enable Biometric Unlock to use fingerprint or face recognition
Set Auto-lock timeout to automatically re-encrypt after inactivity
Toggle Hide from search to exclude encrypted content from search results

Biometric unlock provides convenience while maintaining security for frequently accessed encrypted notes

Apply encryption settings

Review all your encryption settings and tap Apply Encryption. The app will process the note and apply the encryption. You'll see a confirmation message stating Note successfully encrypted with a lock badge appearing next to the note title.

Verify encryption status

Return to your notes list and confirm the encrypted note displays a lock icon badge. Try opening the note to ensure it prompts for your password or biometric authentication before displaying the content.

Test the decryption process immediately to ensure you remember the password and the encryption is working correctly

Common Issues & Troubleshooting
