Hi Guys,
New here and just getting going with mobile.

Is there a way to password protect or hide certain photos or albums? I'd love for my kids to look through pictures but would hate for them to come acrosss some "pre-kid" photos or memes I've downloaded for "dad chat"? I'm currently syncing my camera roll to the cloud and sorting as I go. It's pretty annoying that LR opens on the "all photos" screen too and not the "home" screen for example. If I bring it up on the computer in front of the family my latest photos are right there.

Let me know your thoughts
Thanks
Mike
 
That sounds like a good use-case for having more than one catalogue. You could even use something like VeraCrypt to hide the catalogue and images.
