App Lock
Set a passcode, PIN, or biometric lock on the FortyNote app. It locks automatically after a configurable idle period.
Biometric unlock
Use Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint to unlock FortyNote on mobile. Fast, secure, no typing required.
Auto-lock on idle
Configure FortyNote to lock automatically after 1, 5, 15, or 30 minutes of inactivity. Protects you if you step away.
Two-factor authentication
Add an authenticator app or hardware key as a second factor. Even if your password is compromised, your account stays safe.
Password reset by email
Forgot your password? We'll email you a link to set a new one.
Encrypted in your browser
Your notes are encrypted in your browser before they reach our servers. We store ciphertext, not readable notes.
Security that doesn't compromise privacy
FortyNote encrypts your notes in your browser before they reach our servers. Your encryption key is derived from your password on your device — it never travels to our servers in plaintext.
If you forget your password, we'll send a reset link to your email address. Your encrypted data stays safe on our servers while you set a new password.
Security that doesn't compromise privacy
All security features are available on every FortyNote plan.
