ACME, Inc. allows users to lock sensitive and private notes they keep on their iPad devices. Select two responses. Which two authentication methods can they use to lock a note in the Notes app?

On an iPad, the Notes app provides two distinct methods for securing and locking individual notes. Users can opt to use the same passcode that unlocks their device for convenience and streamlined access. Alternatively, for enhanced security or separation, they can create a unique, custom password that applies only to the Notes app. Both methods are configured within the Notes settings and allow for subsequent use of Face ID or Touch ID for faster unlocking once set up.

A. PIN code: While a device passcode can be a PIN, "device passcode" is the official and more accurate term used by Apple, as it also includes alphanumeric passwords.
B. Apple ID password: The Apple ID password is used for iCloud account access and purchases, not for locking or unlocking individual notes within the Notes application.
D. Secure token: A secure token is a component of an authentication system, not a user-facing authentication method for locking notes.
