Password Protect Applications

Is there a way i can do this? I want to password protect my messages app basically, or make it ask me for a pin so that i can access the application to stop other people viewing it, does anyone know if there's a feature within the OS that allows this or if not can anyone recommend an application that will allow me to do this?
I'm using an iPhone 4 on iOS 4.0 if thats any help to the matter

There are no applications that can do this, and most likely there won't be any as Apple is highly unlikely to let third party apps access the API's necessary to do what you want.
You can, however, suggest Apple add this feature here:

  • Password protected applications

    How can I password protect applications on my 3GS? For example, in notes I sychronised my notes from Outlook, and would like to password protect the content and / or the application.

    Sorry, can't be done for Notes. You can only protect the phone itself via Settings > Passcode Lock or a few applications under Settings > General > Restrictions.

  • Is it possible to password protect applications?

    I'd like a password to be required when accessing various programs, Mail for example. I know you can require a password when checking for new mail, but that leaves access open to previously sent and received messages. I want a password dialog box to pop up when the program is launched, protecting access to that program under that user. Is this something possible with the Keychain or is there a third party app for this?
    Thanks for any help.

    Messages are not part of the application. Protecting the application would do nothing to protect the data, which can be easily viewed without using Mail.app.
    In general, sensitive data can be stored in an encrypted disk image. I am not sure how easily that could be done with mail.
    The best approach, however, is to use OS X's user model. Each user should have his own account. People who shouldn't see your mail should not have access to your account. That, along with locking in the screen saver provides more security than locking an application could do.

  • Application to Password Protect applications?

    I have a Hotmail application on my phone which automatically when you click on it logs straight in and shows your email (not very private).
    I have a password on the phone to prevent access but thats annoying as I have to put it in every time i wanna use the phone.
    I was wondering if anyone knows of a application "apple" actually supports via non modded/cracked phones that allows you to set a password on specific applications to prevent you opening them without a password?
    Cheers

  • Using keychain to password protect applications

    I want a special password to open Quickbooks. Is that possible?

    no. you can change permissions on it so that only one user can launch it or you can put the app inside an encrypted disk image which would have to be mounted before you can run the app.

  • Open Firmware Password Protection?

    Anyone had any luck setting this up? I don't see it on the DVD... I am hesitant to use the one from my Tiger CDs... anyone know how to setup Open Firmware Password Protection on Leopard?

    Thanks for detailing your solution Mac Campbell.
    Unfortunately I can't locate the Firmware Password Protection application in the directory you listed nor any other folder for that matter. I'm not confident its been installed on my system (clean install of Leopard btw). Could you please confirm its exact location for this Terminal newbie.
    Many thanks in advance.

    How to show ipad application in itunes, but will only be assessable to owners, not the general public by using lock code/password protected on iTunes

    So if I understand you properly, I need to create EOs for all my list of values (which are based on views of Oracle apps tables) and base my VO on those EOs. And then I setup associations between these EOs and the Item EO. Then I include the these EOs in my Items VO and add the description attributes to my list of attributes. I had done this for the list of users, but for the views of Oracle I had just created read only VO. Sounds like that won't work if I want to display the description. I know what to do - I guess I was hoping there was a way to use the read only VO.
    Thanks

  • Help password protecting a desktop application

    Hey guys I'm creating an application that I need to password protect. I've already created a JFrame with components and action listeners where a user can enter a password (twice to make sure they match) and a username. When my application begins the first thing the user sees are these three fields with instructions prompting them to register. Is there a way to encrypt this information and store it securely? Does anyone have any tips as to good practices when creating a secure application?

    what's the best way secure
    information in an application. Depends on the information! (and application and .....)
    Why would you store the password in a
    database? Why not?
    On a serious note, where else would you like to store passwords? I suppose a text file is an option - although (imho) its only suitable for a small data structure (small number users).
    What are the benefits? What are the benefits of using database over text files?
    Ease of use, would be my first argument!
    Performance*
    *this may be dependent on size of the data structure. Some may argue that a text file offers better performance for small structures - I'm don't know.

    No. You can lock your main screen, but thats about it.

  • Password protecting mail application.

    Hello,
    I would like to know if i can password protect my mail application, just the way outlook express can be done.I would not like to create a different user
    acccount for doing the same.
    Thanks in advance

    You could make Mail ask for a password before fetching new mail or sending mail by altering your keychain preferences. Either prevent Mail from storing your email password in the keychain or let it do that but make sure that your keychain has a different password than your user account, is not set to automatically unlock on login and locks after a very short idle time.
    If you have an imap account and leave your messages on the server, this effectively prevents access to your mail without a password. If you use pop and/or download messages to you local folders, though, anything already downloaded will be accessible without a password.

    Hi All, I want an application which can make other application password protected, Do we have any such application like applocker etc for iPhone 5

    Some apps allow you to do this with documents, photos, and videos but it is not possible to do with apps. Your best and only solution is to use the phone passcode.

  • Password protect iTunes application to prevent changes?

    Hi all,
    I am looking to increase my ITUNES security on my home PC to prevent changes in ITUNES match or my music being removed from icloud by mistake by others when they use this PC or it is stolen etc.
    I.E when i open the itunes application, it will prompts/ask me for a password before proceeding further.
    I have home sharing enabled and i dont want to interfer or restrict this, however sometimes on my laptop other access itunes and on occassions have caused music in the cloud to be deleted! Doesnt help when i have disposed of the original cd's and its not avaiable via the itunes store.
    Any ideas/comments would be grealty appreciated to help me protect?
    I did go to edit/prefercnes and ticked the "require password" button in home sharing, but affects home sharing only, does not prompt me for password on my PC.
    Cheers Folks
    Simon.

    You can backup your library right now. You can send the password protection idea to iTunes Feedback, but I doubt it would ever be implemented.
    Don't dispose of your original CDs. If you sell or give them away then you should also delete the tracks that you ripped from them.
