OneNote Windows Store Password Protected

Microsoft today updated OneNote for Windows Store to support password protected sections.  OneNote for Windows Store app now includes the ability to unlock your existing password protected sections. To use this feature, make sure you’re running the latest version of OneNote for Windows Store app released today. Once you’ve updated the app, simply navigate to a password protected section and type your password to unlock it.

After unlocking a password protected section, you can view and edit its contents just like any other section—but to protect your privacy, page thumbnails are not shown. Plus, the section automatically locks if you don’t use OneNote for a few minutes. You can also lock all of your password protected sections manually—simply right-click or tap twice on any section tab, then select or tap the Lock Protected Sections button (power users can press Ctrl-Alt-L on the keyboard).
