When setting up a protected section on Onenote on my samsung fold6 it I enable the box that says use fingerprint next time but when I go to unlock it again it asks for the password again with the use fingerprint box still enabled. It never lets me use my fingerprint to unlock the sections. Anyone know a fix for this?

    So your core message is: you don't need OneNote.

    Yeap, I do not use Standard Notes for business purposes, I just use it as a personal regular text note-taking app, and it has all I need. I don't need any special formatting or anything of the sort. Just personal, simple, and straight to the point note-taking.

    It has all the other advanced stuff, but of course some of those are behind a paywall.

    I refuse to install APKs from the internet, don't want Trojans or a ransomware attack, but I solved my problem very easily. I found a note-taking application called "Standard Notes" and I will never come back to OneNote.

    Standard Notes has everything I need, encryption of notes, biometrics authentication, 2FA, Password Protection on individual notes in addition to the other security features mentioned. It is open source and it's very lightweight. It's available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.

    So long OneNote, it was nice meeting thee.

    Plain text and no structure, or you have to pay. Convincing 😏
