Private Notes is ideal for storing the most sensitive information like Recovery codes, Wi-Fi passwords, server configs, etc...

Why? Let's start with Privacy and permissions:

There are no permissions - this extension can't make any remote requests or submit any data!
This extension is NOT using own cloud servers, data are synchronized by browser-integrated "Chrome Sync" engine (encrypted).
Your password is NOT stored at all. It's hashed (something like a fingerprint) using advanced PBKDF2 function with 100k iterations and strong salt.
Unlocked notes and decryption keys are never stored - they are only kept in the private system memory and will disappear the moment you close browser.
Even if someone gains physical access to your PC, he won't be able to access your notes nor password. This is one of the safest place ever created!

Encrypted notes - all your notes are always stored encrypted!
Automatic backups - each device creates encrypted local backups of your notes (plus "Chrome Sync" holds a backup)

THE BEST NOTEPAD Simple and minimal notepad. --> Auto-saves, create multiple new notes, format text. Please keep up the good work and keep maintaining it.

Огромный плюс то, что, возможно, ввести пароль для доступа к заметкам. При этом для меня не совсем то, что я искала. Я искала заметки на веб-странице, которые автоматом появляются при обновлении страницы. Поскольку разработчик хороший и проверен уже на других приложениях, не могу поставить плохую оценку.
