The **Password Protection** plugin provides a way to safeguard sensitive notes in Obsidian by restricting access with a password. It allows users to lock either the entire vault or specific subfolders, prompting for a password when accessing protected notes. Once authenticated, users can access other protected notes without re-entering the password until they choose to lock the vault again.

The **QuickShare** plugin allows users to securely share Obsidian notes over the internet with end-to-end encryption, ensuring privacy and security. Notes are encrypted using AES-256-CBC, with decryption keys never sent to the server, making it impossible for the server to access the content. By default, the plugin integrates with the Noteshare.space service, which stores encrypted notes for up to 31 days. Users also have the option to host their own instance of the storage service for complete control over their data. QuickShare does not require accounts or external API keys, making it a simple and effective solution for sharing notes effortlessly while maintaining security.

Imagine being able to store sensitive information or personal thoughts without worrying about others accessing them. The plugin also offers encryption options, allowing you to secure all your .md files with AES cipher. Additionally, the auto-lock feature ensures that Obsidian will block access if you're not actively using it.

Protected Note

The plugin allows users to encrypt individual notes or enable automatic encryption for all notes upon modification. It includes features such as password retention, compression options, and smartcard support for advanced security setups. With compatibility for local or remote GnuPG installations and OpenPGP.js, gpgCrypt ensures flexibility and security for note management.

gpgCrypt

The **Garble Text** plugin allows users to obfuscate all content within Obsidian, turning text into unreadable characters and blurring images, providing a secure way to take screenshots without revealing sensitive information. The plugin's garbled text can be revealed simply by hovering over it, ensuring that it remains hidden when not needed. It can be activated through the commands palette, offering a quick toggle feature. The plugin also includes planned improvements, such as regex-based garbling and custom display fonts for garbled text, enhancing its versatility for privacy-conscious users.

Although it supports markdown files only, it provides a secure way to handle sensitive data within Obsidian. Regular backups are recommended to mitigate potential data loss.

Global Markdown Encryption

The **Password Protect** plugin enables users to secure their Obsidian notes and folders by setting a password, ensuring that sensitive content like journals remains hidden. Hidden notes are not visible in search results or graph view until the correct password is entered. The plugin works by changing file extensions to hide them, offering a layer of protection against casual viewers. While the files are not encrypted, they are inaccessible without the password. The plugin also allows for syncing hidden files across devices using services like Syncthing, provided certain conditions are met. It provides basic protection and is ideal for users looking for privacy within their Obsidian vault.

Password Protect

The **Note Locker** plugin helps protect your notes from unintended edits by allowing you to lock them in preview mode with a simple toggle. It ensures that locked notes remain secure across sessions, even after renaming files or switching devices. Designed with both desktop and mobile users. While locking prevents accidental changes, users retain the ability to manually override when necessary, striking a balance between protection and flexibility for important content.

Note Locker

The **GPG Encrypt** plugin for Obsidian enables secure text encryption and decryption using GPG keys directly within the app. This plugin provides a user-friendly interface to encrypt selected text or entire documents, ensuring privacy for sensitive notes. Users can choose whether to encrypt and sign text, with support for inline encryption and document-wide encryption. The plugin integrates seamlessly with the GPG tool, leveraging your system's GPG keys, and allows you to easily decrypt previously encrypted messages. Whether for personal use or secure sharing, this plugin offers an essential solution for privacy-conscious users looking to protect their notes.

The **Eccirian Encrypt** plugin adds file-level encryption and decryption to your vault, using AES-256-GCM and ECC-P-256 password-based encryption. It introduces a dedicated `.eccirian` file extension and replaces the editor view of locked files with a read-only message until the correct password is entered. Users can quickly toggle encryption via the command palette or UI controls, making it practical for managing sensitive notes without leaving the app. The plugin does not store passwords, so forgotten credentials mean permanent data loss.

Eccirian Encrypt

The **Simple Password** plugin adds a lightweight privacy layer to your vault by allowing you to lock specific folders or files with a password. It prevents unauthorized access without modifying or encrypting your files. You can trigger the lock manually via commands, hotkeys, ribbon button, or custom URLs, and the vault auto-locks after inactivity. The plugin offers two privacy modes-blur or tab closing-for flexible display protection. It also blocks file previews, embeds, and search results in locked areas, with an option to exclude certain paths. Although it doesn't offer real encryption, it's ideal for casual protection when working in shared or public environments.

Simple Password

The **Crypt It** plugin for Obsidian allows you to easily encrypt files directly within your vault. By right-clicking on a file, you can generate an encrypted version using a password. The plugin follows the rclone-crypt format for encryption. This is particularly useful for users who need to secure sensitive documents while working in Obsidian. However, it is important to note that the plugin does not store the password, and it cannot be recovered if forgotten.

Crypt It

The **Age Encrypt** plugin provides secure encryption for notes in Obsidian using age-based encryption. It allows users to encrypt entire files or selected text, ensuring that sensitive information remains protected. Decrypted content is only stored in memory and never written to disk automatically, minimizing security risks. The plugin is compatible with the age CLI tool, allowing users to decrypt their notes externally if needed.

Age Encrypt

The **Blur Mode** plugin for Obsidian is a practical tool designed to help users maintain privacy or focus by blurring specific elements within their notes. Whether you're protecting sensitive information or simply reducing visual clutter, this plugin gives you precise control. Users can create and manage blur presets through an intuitive panel, allowing for easy selection of elements to blur or restore to full visibility. The blur effect is fully customizable, with adjustable intensity and even a keyword-based option to blur items containing specific terms.

Activating or deactivating the blur is as simple as clicking a ribbon icon, making it effortless to toggle the effect as needed. The plugin also supports real-time previews, ensuring you can refine your settings on the fly. If you're looking to balance note security and accessibility, Blur Mode provides a seamless and user-friendly solution tailored to Obsidian's ecosystem.

Users can easily manage visibility using the command palette or a ribbon icon for quick access. Exception files can be configured to remain visible within hidden directories, offering flexibility.

Peekaboo

The **IOC Lens** plugin for Obsidian is a powerful tool designed for cybersecurity professionals and incident responders. It simplifies the process of extracting and analyzing Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from your notes. By recognizing key elements such as IP addresses, domain names, and file hashes, the plugin automatically highlights them and provides quick access to security-focused resources like AbuseIPDB, Censys, Shodan, and more. This integration helps streamline the investigation process, allowing users to pivot directly to relevant online tools for deeper analysis. With customizable settings to choose which IOCs to extract and which resources to link, IOC Lens enhances your workflow and keeps you focused on actionable security data.

IOC Lens

The **Private Mode** plugin enhances privacy within Obsidian by allowing users to blur out any content tagged with #private. This helps keep sensitive information hidden by default, whether you're sharing your screen or simply want an extra layer of discretion. The plugin offers three visibility modes: always reveal, reveal on hover, and reveal only when editing. Users can toggle these modes via commands or through a status bar indicator, which also provides screen-sharing visibility cues.

Private Mode

The **Vault Encrypt** plugin encrypts every file in your vault and masks its structure to provide strong privacy with minimal manual handling. It replaces filenames with random identifiers, removes folder hierarchies, and pads file sizes so the original layout becomes impossible to infer. Encryption and decryption run through a simple lock icon or command, and the vault stays in its chosen state even after the app closes. Under the hood, it uses AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2 and HKDF, with configurable iteration counts for users who want higher security at the cost of speed.

Vault Encrypt

The **NSFW filter** plugin allows users to toggle the visibility of files marked as NSFW in Obsidian. By moving such files into a designated **NSFW folder**, users can hide them from view when sharing their notes. The plugin helps protect personal or sensitive content from being displayed publicly. It automatically saves the original location of files and can toggle them back and forth between the main vault and the NSFW folder. This functionality is ideal for users needing to manage sensitive information without compromising privacy in shared environments.

Its straightforward interface ensures quick access to these features directly within Obsidian, making password management less of a hassle. 

With the ability to create highly customizable passwords and copy them instantly to the clipboard, it's a handy addition for anyone managing sensitive accounts or workflows. However, it's important to note that this plugin is designed for password analysis and generation, not storage-users should rely on dedicated password managers for storing credentials securely. If you're looking to reinforce your digital safety, this plugin is a practical and user-friendly choice.

Password Audit

The **Cypher** plugin transforms your Obsidian notes into a playful and visually engaging format by using icon-based ciphers.

The plugin features real-time conversion as you type, ensuring that your text is automatically transformed into distinct symbols, enhancing visual appeal. It intelligently manages backspacing and spaces for a seamless experience. When you want to revert to plain text, simply toggle off the cypher mode, keeping your content intact while adding an element of mystery to your notes.

Cypher

The **Simple Disguise** plugin provides an easy way to obscure the content in your editing area, making it less visible to others in public spaces. By toggling a button in the sidebar, users can switch between normal and disguise modes.

While it does not support reading mode or command-based controls, users can manually adjust styles by editing the plugin's CSS file. This tool is ideal for enhancing privacy during note editing in shared environments.

Simple Disguise

The **Simple Steam Auth** plugin generates dynamic, real time Steam Guard authentication codes directly within your notes.

We apologize for your experience. This issue has been fixed in the latest version. The plugin is still in an early stage, so some bugs exist.

Regarding potential issues, the Readme has described the possible risks well, so if you don't like it, you can uninstall it or choose another encryption plugin. We respect your choice. However, the development of this plugin is a hobby, not a SaaS application. For us, preventing issues from piling up is the greatest achievement.

WARNING! It broke two important files, and I can not recover them! It's absolute trash! And every time you write something in a file, it auto-dumps encrypted text with a huge amount of symbols to the next file you open. Makes Obsidian very slow often. And it broke the file that was not encrypted at all. It should be deleted from the plugins list, and I don't see why it is still being updated.
