Obsidian Encrypt Plugin

Hide secrets in your Obsidian.md notes.

This plugin allows you to encrypt portions of text so you can store sensitive details within and alongside your notes.

Under the hood it uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in GCM mode.

WARNING: Use at your own risk. Your passwords are never stored anywhere, if you forget your password you can't decrypt your text.

Usage

How to encrypt text

1. Select the text lines to encrypt
   

Note: Partial, selection is ok, it will be expanded to include the whole line.

2. Run the Encrypt/Decrypt command from the palette (or bind a keyboard shortcut to it)
   

3. Enter and confirm a password to use
   

4. Your selected lines are now encrypted
   

How to reveal your encrypted text

1. Place your cursor on the encrypted line
   

2. Run the Encrypt/Decrypt command from the palette
   

Note: If you choose 'Encrypt/Decrypt In-place' your text will be decrypted directly into the editor without showing the dialog in step 4 below.

3. Enter the correct password
   

Note: Your previously used password is filled in by default (You can change this in the plugin settings).

4. Your decrypted text is revealed
   

Note: Click 'Decrypt In-place' to replace the encrypted text in the editor.
