Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/5018

Description

One of the biggest deal-breakers of Notion is the lack of security. It would be awesome to have a feature for password-protecting specific pages.

Impact

All users who want to write confidential information in their notes.

Additional Context

We can use a form of encryption, such as AES, to encrypt the data.

@Xazin, I'm thinking about what a workable solution would look like. I can picture a design for reading the data, but I'm not sure how to handle writing to the file. Here's what I've thought about:

Fetch the database as usual
if an encrypted file is found, open a dialog asking for password, and decrypt the data and send to the application layer

How do write into the encrypted file?, Is it necessary to save the entire document or just individual nodes after making changes?

Is there any way to password encrypt certain notes?
