I use an encrypted disk that I put files and folders into and I also use 1Password for some files and notes.
I want to consolidate and make storing sensitive documents, data and passwords more simple.
I started to shift to password protected notes in Notes.
Am I correct in assuming that the need for password protecting notes (in Apple Notes) is no longer necessary (for protection from cloud intrusion, which says nothing about folks with access to my laptop) ? Everything will be encrypted so it makes no sense in encrypting a note that will get end to end to end encryption ?
Also, if I wanted to use a combination of Keychain and Apple Notes, is that effectively equally secure as 1Password in that both systems use e2e and only I have the keys ... 1Password does have the advantage of being secure within the system in that I need a password to open it so someone who got into my MacBook would need the 1Password master password.
I guess I can see that password protecting individual files in Notes does the same thing, adds an extra layer .... assuming I don't use the system password to protect notes which a lot of folks will likely do.
Just trying to figure out the best protocol and where to put everything. 1Password is relatively inexpensive so I don't object to subscribing, I just want something simple and secure.
Ideas appreciated.
