Description

It is not clear how passwords should be removed from notes.
As of now, the user must:

  1. open a locked note
  2. type the password to unlock it
  3. copy the text onto a new note
  4. the new note will be unlocked and equivalent to the old note

The idea is to add a menu item called "remove password from note", which is different from the "unlock" button we already have. This one would set the note as not locked and stop asking for the password in the first place.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing note unlock action and the menu definitions for notes. Confirm how a locked note becomes unlocked, then add a separate menu action that removes the password requirement while preserving the note text; done means the note no longer asks for its password.
