Is it possible to lock a folder behind a password?

[Populus]

Now that many apps can be locked behind the passcode or FaceID/TouchID, I was wondering if folders from File App could be locked, natively, behind a password or the passcode.

Does anyone know if this is possible? Or even if it means using Focus modes.

Thank you.

You could just lock the Files app?

Not possible.

Not possible.

I just locked my Files app to require a passcode.
Tap and hold Files icon, select Require Passcode.
Force close the Files app and reopen

I thought the OP was asking about locking a folder in the Files app.

Yeah, I was interested in this, but now that I think about it, not even macOS has this feature, only making an encrypted volume with the folder if I recall correctly.

Yes my bad I was referring to kitKAC's response about locking the whole Files app.
Any case, without enforced biometrics, the Require Passcode lock is weak.
