About setting the password
Locking your notes adds a layer of security in the Notes app on Apple Vision Pro. You can access your locked notes using your device passcode or a custom password. If you have multiple Notes accounts, you choose the locking method for each account.
Device passcode
If you use your device passcode to access locked notes, you don’t have to create and remember a separate password, which reduces the chances of losing access to your locked notes. If you use your device passcode, you can also use Optic ID to access your locked notes.
If you have multiple devices where you’re signed in to the same Apple Account, like iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you use each device’s passcode (or login password for a Mac), or Face ID or Touch ID, to access your locked notes on that device.
You can access notes locked with a device passcode on devices with iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13, visionOS 1, or later. On devices with an earlier version of the OS, you won’t be able to access the locked notes.
Custom password
Creating a custom password for locked notes can provide additional security, but if you forget the password, you may lose access to your locked notes.
You use your custom password to access your locked notes on all devices where you’re signed in to the same Apple Account. If you have more than one Account Account or an On My Vision Pro account, you can set a different custom password for each account.
If you use a custom password, you can use Optic ID to access your locked notes, but don’t rely on Optic ID as the only way to unlock your notes. If you update your Optic ID settings, you have to enter your custom password. You may also be prompted periodically to enter your custom password. For these reasons, it is strongly recommended that you add a password hint when you create the password. The hint appears after two unsuccessful attempts to enter the password.
If you forget your custom password but can still access locked notes with Optic ID, you can change the password. Go to Settings 
> Apps > Notes > Password, choose an account (if you have more than one), tap Change Password, authenticate with Optic ID, then create a new password. The locked notes are updated to the new password.
You can view notes locked with a custom password on devices with iOS 9.3, iPadOS 13, OS X 10.11.4, visionOS 1, or later. On devices with an earlier version of the OS, you won’t see the notes.
Change the locking method
If you're using a custom password, you can switch to using your device passcode. Go to Settings > Apps > Notes > Password, then choose an account (if you have more than one), then tap Use Vision Pro Passcode.
