cr8vsva 0 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Last night, to protect sensitive information, I opted to enable the "Encrypt Selected Text" feature. Everything was fine; I set up the passphrase, saved it with a hint and then exited the program for the evening. Today, I tried to open the Note but I was unable to enter the passphrase. Then the box that you enter the code in disappeared! Any insight or possible solution is appreciated and welcome. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,309 Posted May 1, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted May 1, 2020 Typically if the pass phrase doesn't work it's not right. The box disappearing means you inadvertently typed over it probably after the pass phrase didn't take.. I have done this before, thinking I have the dialog open but I have actually just highlighted the box. And away goes the encrypted text. Being a premium subscriber I can get the previous version back. You can subscribe for a month if the information is important to you. 1 Link to comment
cr8vsva 0 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 So I have to be a paid customer to recover the data?! Oh well, guess I'll just have to manually re-enter the information. A pain but I don't use Evernote enough to warrant paying for, yet, another subscription. Thanks for the info; appreciate it. Link to comment
