* change "Lock as private" to just "Private". the phrase "Lock as private" is a bit awkward (it is not a natural phrasing one would use in conversation) and specifying "Lock" speaks to the mechanism rather than the intention of the user. the intention is "this is private"; the mechanism we use is "locking
it".
Before integrating this phrase we tested with a lot of people. We tested
different words and phrases like "protect, lock, mark...as private, secure" etc. The result has beenthat most people preferred and understood the phrase "lock as private". Here both results, the locking of the activity with a password AND the
encryption of the private data, have been understood.
Only "Private" would not clearly communicate the underlying action for the user.

I don't really like "Lock as private", but if that's the one that fared best with the users, I think we should still keep it. Don't know what it looks like if it's placed next to the name, though. Might make the row a bit too long.
Keep in mind that we have an error message quoting "this is a dulicate name" or something like that in case the activity name is already chosen. This error message appears right next to the text field.
