Q: How Secure is iCloud with Notes?
Hello,
I use Notes often, I love how it sync's with all my OS and iOS stuff, but I would really like to make a Note that has all my passwords that way when I update or add one the new one will be on all my devices.
While I think the new Keychain is really great, there are still times when I need to know my actually passwords. As of now I have a safe but not very convenient way of doing this.
My question is how vulnerable is the data that is stored on iCloud ? would you trust all your passwords to be in the Cloud ?
I am guessing most would not, but maybe there is something I don't know that is making me paranoid !
Thanks for any input you may have.

If I create a Note on my Mac it will get saved as a readable Note on iCloud, but it is encrypted when it moves from iCloud to say my iPhone? It this the general idea ?
Yes, that is more or less it. But do not forget that whilst it is on the server, any else would need your Apple ID and password in order to be able to access your notes.
