Product Information
What is Private notes?
Private Notes allows you to write password-protected, fully encrypted notes.
Your notes can be synchronized with Firefox Sync's encrypted engine across multiple devices.
Perfect for storing the most sensitive information such as recovery codes, Wi-Fi passwords, server configurations, and more...
**Privacy & Permissions:**
No Permissions - This add-on cannot make any remote requests or submit any data!
All data is always encrypted and then synchronized using Firefox's built-in end-to-end encrypted "Firefox Sync" engine (yes, the data is doubly encrypted!).
Your password is not stored at all. It is hashed using the advanced PBKDF2 function with 100K iterations and strong salting.
Unlocked notes and decryption keys are never stored on the drive—they remain in the system's RAM (inaccessible to any other apps and cleared when the browser is closed).
Even if someone gains access to your PC, they cannot access your notes or password. This is one of the safest solutions ever!
