Encryption in VoodooPad

VoodooPad enables you to encrypt pages with passwords. VoodooPad Pro takes it a step further by also letting you encrypt your entire document.

Page Level Encryption

VoodooPad supports encrypting pages one at time, so you can have a mix of encrypted and unencrypted pages in a single document.
To encrypt a page choose View -> Encrypt Page... and fill in a password and a hint. If you would like your computer to remember the password for you, choose Add to Keychain. This feature works the same as having your computer remember passwords and user names for websites and servers.



If you're looking to change your password, choose View -> Encrypt Page... while the page is already encrypted and you'll get prompted just like there had never been a password.
If you're looking to permanently decrypt the page, choose to decrypt it, fill in the password, and hold down the option key while hitting "okay".

Document Level Encryption

VoodooPad Pro has the ability to make your whole document encrypted. With this in effect, you enter your password once when opening up your document, and you gain access to all your pages inside.

You can either set up the password on startup, or by choosing Edit -> Set Document Password...

To change a password from an encrypted document choose Edit -> Change Document Password…, and type in a new password. If you want to remove the document password, follow the same steps, but leave the new password fields blank.

With the document encrypted you will have to enter the password every time you open the document unless you choose to save the password in your keychain. While Voodoopad Pro is open, the document will stay decrypted. If you would like to automatically close encrypted documents while you're idle at the computer, choose VoodooPad Pro -> Preferences -> Options -> Close encrypted documents after... and specify a time.
