To encrypt all of your TopXNotes notes simply enter a password consisting of 25 or fewer characters in the Preferences Security tab. This is your main TopXNotes password and TopXNotes will not open your notes at all without it.*
Individual notes may be encrypted so that only the user with the password can display and modify the note.**
To encrypt a note, choose Note Password from the Notes menu. This will bring up the Edit Note Password dialog as shown below.

Type in a password consisting of 4-25 characters and click OK. (Check "Show as I type" to see what you are typing as you go.)
Once a note is encrypted, the user will be prompted to enter the correct password every time the note is displayed. To allow this check to be made only on launch of the application, go to the Notes menu and choose Note Settings. In the Note Settings dialog, uncheck ”Require password for every access."
To remove the password simply delete the password and leave the space blank. Then your notes will no longer be encrypted and a password will not be requested to view or change notes.
