  I want to know how to set up an initial passcode. I don’t see a menu.

  oh yeah, i’m using android 11 and version 2.35 on simple notes. The app is working, but no pass code!

  Hi. Don’t know about Android, but in the iOS app it’s in Settings inside the app. Open the hamburger menu if Settings are not visible.

  I see a passcode lock, and there is a gray faded ‘change your passcode’ but I can’t use it.. I want to select ‘make a passcode’ but I can’t find the item to do that.

  The whole app works except that..

  Hi there, @taichikiddo! To activate a passcode lock, go to Settings > Passcode Lock. Tap on “Turn passcode lock on”. A new window will open titled “Enter your passcode”. Type in a 4-digit number, then enter it again to confirm.
  
  When you view that section are you able to click on the black text for “Turn passcode lock on”?
  
  Here’s a screenshot of that section for reference:

  Thank-you. I do get to the menu and enter my 4 digit pass code, but the page says ‘confirm your pass code.’

  and there is no button for me to push to confirm

  I see what you mean! That is confusing! In this case, you need to enter the code again. Type in the code to set it, then when it says “confirm your passcode”, type in the same code again. You have to enter the new passcode twice during the setup process.
