Add Password Protection to a Notebook Section in OneNote 2013
Note that this password protection will apply to your notebook section wherever you access it. So even when you open OneNote in a Web browser with your Microsoft Account password, you will still need the password for the protected notebook section to view the content. Step 1: Launch OneNote 2013. Step 2: Select your notebook from the drop-down menu at the top of the window.
Step 3: Right-click the section tab to which you want to add password protection, then select the Password protect this section option.
Step 4: Click the Set Password option at the right side of the window.
Step 5: Type your password into the Enter Password field, re-type it into the Confirm Password field, then click the OK button.
OneNote will then ask you how you want it to handle your existing backups that have a copy of the notebook section without password protection, so select the option that you prefer.
If you choose to delete the existing backups, you can always manually create a backup to ensure that the data is not lost. You can also manually lock your password-protected notebook sections at any time by pressing Ctrl + Alt + L on your keyboard.
