The improper handling of decrypted information can lead to the leakage of confidential data. Thus, there is increasing interest in the development of self‐erasing decrypted data. Herein, we report a urease‐containingfluorescenthydrogel for multistage information security protection. Information can be input into the fluorescenthydrogel, which is based on the protonated 4‐(N,N‐dimethylaminoethylene)

4-(N,N-Dimethylaminoethylene)amino-N-allyl-1,8-naphthalimide has been synthesized as a new polymerizable dye in monomeric form, and can increase its fluorescence intensity in the presence of protons or metal cations. Two intensely yellow–green fluorescent co-polymers of the dye with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and styrene (ST) have been obtained. These polymeric fluorophores, which could be used as heterogeneous photoinduced electron transfer (PET) fluorescent sensors, show different fluorescence behaviour in the presence of protons and Cu2+ ions, depending on the structures of their main polymer chains. The fluorescence of poly(MMA–co-dye) is not sensitive towards H+ ions, but it is to Cu2+ ions. That of poly(ST–co-dye) is sensitive to the presence of both H+ and Cu2+ ions, the signal increasing and decreasing, respectively.
