I am trying to set up 2-factor authentication (two factor authentication) but I never receive an text despite my other services e.g. google etc sending me texts just fine.

Why? How do I make sure I receive texts?

I am trying to set up 2-factor authentication (two factor authentication) but I never receive an text despite my other services e.g. google etc sending me texts just fine. So perhaps I would try an authenticator app but there are no instructions or options of how to set this up with evernote. Help?

Even if it says „Google Authenticator“ you can use any  standard authenticator app for the 2-FA of EN. I use Microsoft Authenticator, works fine. Many password managers have build in Authenticators that will do the job as well.

Could you please decribe how to set up  2 factor for Microsoft Authenticator?

thanks. The microsoft authenticator app requires either a qr code, or manually entered code from Evernote. Any idea where this could be located?

You receive a QR code during the 2FA setup process. If you are using SMS 2FA you should disable that first.

If you used 2FA up to now, you first need to disable it, using a last SMS code to confirm.

Then it’s without 2FA. And now enable 2FA again, and follow the instructions. The necessary codes will be presented during the process.

Personally I use Authy as authenticator app - it’s better for use on several devices simultaneously.

Also, a picture is worth a thousand words (and a video much more than that, IMO).  I just did a quick search for "set up Microsoft Authenticator" on You Tube and there are dozens of videos.  I don't think setting up Evernote is different from setting up any other app, so you may benefit from browsing those videos.
