Locking apps

I've seen posts and looked at quite a few but have some questions.

Is there an app that will HIDE your email address? I'm asking as if I see one, I can usually just remember it until I write it down. This means that if I glance at it casually over your shoulder, I'd remember. I can't get your info, but I can cause havoc by signing you up for all kinds of crap in your email. I don't do this, but if I can remember, so can others.

Will locking the app not open the app at all, or will it open the app with the sign "locked"

I'd also prefer one that is password only and pay for. While I can remember numbers/letters well, I'd forget a swipe pattern.

I neither use nor particularly want a launcher.
