Hello everyone,
Is there a way to add a password to a certain google app like Google Notes so when i try to open it, it will prompt me to insert the password ? I am not talking about screen lock password . I just want to add a password to a certain app and without that pass , i shouldn't be able to open it .
Thank you.
Yes, there are apps that claim to be able to do this on play

I can search Play for "password protect apps" if you like?
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=password protect apps
If you're still on KitKat there is an awesome Xposed module called Min Min Lock that does exactly what you are asking.

No, I don't think any app will grab your key strokes. However while typing with Swype Keyboard or some other may store your key strokes just to make you more efficiently but it does not saves your passwords.
You can do one thing is download Android Assistant and open the third tab in it there you will find Permissions open it and see which app has access to what inside your phone.

Ok. Is it guarantied that Android assistant will have all the permission infos of all the apps?? I mean is there any possibility to hide this permission infos and to grab all the keystrokes or password? Or android don't permit to grab the password type data by any app? I know at the time of installation it shows the permissions the app needed. But is there any way to hide a permission but to use that?

Not sure but as far as I know Android will not save your passwords. But the web browser may save them if it is enabled in settings. I am sure that none of the information that you type will not be sent to third parties. Everything is safe in Android.

Can you be more specific please? Does this happen with all apps, or only with certain apps? If it's the latter, which apps prompt that message to appear?

This happens as part of Google's fraud detection system and is very common for new accounts. The following search results elaborates this, along with fixes:

No, cyanogenmod does not have google apps. For more info: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Even if they don't use google apps, they have their own spyware. For more how to secure your device see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security/tuto-how-to-secure-phone-t2960077

Honestly I haven't tried it, so I don't know. But, what are you looking for? A secure rom, or just a rom without google apps?

try AFWall Donate version, XPrivacy, AppOps, MyAndroidTools Pro, ChatSecure, Orbot, Network Connections or Network Log App in playstore, override DNS app, SD Maid, Firefox browser...these are all good apps known for supporting end-user privacy or for strong root level management of your system. It really depends on what type of "secure" youre interested in. Android is relatively secure security-wise, but privacy-wise, not so much... actually in its default state, not at all, especially with google inside. Knowing your settings, and config, almost any ROM can be secure.

If you are willing to switch to a Nexus 5 we (Graphite Software) have posted a ROM (Secure Spaces) that allows you to create a separate space (virtual phone) where you can easily configure the settings (enable and disable a number of attributes - bluetooth , networking, adb, etc). Also you can remove the Google Play apps in this personal or hidden space, but allow the owner space to still have Google Apps if you want. This new space is encrypted using ecryptfs and also has pid namespaces enabled in the kernel, plus some additional security features. You can push apps into this space to limit their access to the owner space , or you can think of this space as a private space where maybe you launch only a banking app for example.

Sounds like a good start to helping secure my android, but how do you use the apps effectively?
Thanks

All I can say is do what I did. Check them out. Read, follow instructions, experiment. Android may come shipped with some functionalities disabled but the capability is there...in a major way. You just have to take the time to learn. Familiarize yourself with settings, apps, services, device signals.
I have a Chinese Honor 8 and have installed Google on it. Everything works fine but I cannot access the Google settings page. I know its there because I seen it pop up once asking if I want to enable Android Device manager.
Any idea how I can access it? When I go to accounts -> google and click on it, nothing happens.

Google settings has a separate app icon nowadays.
Hope so that it got hidden in any app groups. You need to check in the app groups.
If all the google apps will be inside any app group (Folder like thing). It might be inside that.

There's no icon for it, I checked everywhere.
On my other phones on Android 6 I must go to the Google account and the settings opens when you click on it. On this phone, nothing happens.
Did you install Google play services? The Google settings apps comes with it.

Yes of course. Everything works perfect and I know the Google settings app is there because it asked me something about device manager and I saw the Google settings. But there is no way for me to access it by myself.

Too lazy Anyway I found a workaround solution using the app QuickShortcutMaker. You can choose Google Play Services there and the created shortcut opens google settings.

Try with searching the settings by swiping downwards in home screen...
Let us know the result. So that we can get a clear idea on the thing.
Also thanks for mentioning the app name to do the workaround.

First thing I tried was the search, it couldn't find it. I spent literally an hour looking through the phone for a way to access the google settings. Using that app to create the shortcut was the only thing that worked.
Your probing for the solution and posting the solution for it will be useful for future people. Thank you...

Use disable flag secure lsposed app or magisk module, you can find both easily on Google.

Banks usually offer copies of performed operations in pdf format.
Look for such an option in the history of bank operations.
You can also log into a web browser and taking a screenshot should not be a problem.

If you don't want to root the phone, the just take a picture using another phone. Lol
although, 99,99% bank now offering "sharing" option, where it will automatically send a snap of the receipt to any other apps, or through email
They dont
