kayjun 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I just created an Evernote account from my windows computer. I then downloaded the app to my iphone 11 and tried to sign in. I get the same message every time "The password is incorrect. Please try again." I've reset my password multiple times. I have no problem logging in on the computer or using the two-step authentication. Everything works fine on my PC, but the app won't accept my password. Because I don't want to pay for an app I can't use, I am not allowed to email and get help. Evernote is useless to me if I can't use it on my phone. Has anyone else had this problem? Link to post

I've not seen anyone else with the same issue here - just to be clear: you're using exactly the same username and password combination on the iPhone as on the PC? Link to post
kayjun 0 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Yes. The exact same. And just to make sure I've reset the password three times. No matter what I do, I can't login to the phone app. I've deleted the app and reinstalled it three times. I've powered off my phone and restarted it. I get the same message every time, "The password you entered it incorrect." Link to post
Level 5* gazumped 8,015 Posted September 26, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted September 26, 2020 Hmmn. Sorry then - the issue seems well above my (un)pay grade. I can only suggest you try @EvernoteHelps on Twitter to see whether they can assist. Final suggestion - when you're logged in on Windows, have a look at 'connected devices' - if you have more than two (plus the web app) that can cause problems...

kayjun 0 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 There's only one computer and a phone using my account so there shouldn't be a problem with that. I don't use Twitter. Is there any way to contact Evernote tech support? I don't want to pay for Evernote if it doesn't work but as far as I can tell that's the only way to get help. Link to post
Level 5* gazumped 8,015 Posted September 27, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted September 27, 2020 There's an Evernote community on Facebook - and there is a 'log in as guest' option on the help page which you could try. If neither of those work you could look into subscribing for only one month (subscribe for a year, pay monthly, downgrade your membership back to basic after the first payment goes out...) but AFAIK you have to subscribe to get assistance. 1 Link to post

The only thing that worked was using a different password. I guess that one I tried to use was too complicated? Weirdly, when I tried a completely different, and simpler, password, I was able to login on my phone. I know it makes absolutely no sense, but that's what worked. Link to post
Level 5 PinkElephant 1,746 Posted December 15, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Did you use symbols ? It is a known issue that the set of symbols permitted is restricted and may differ from service to service. A long(er) password without symbols is as safe. Link to post
qveenissac 3 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Yes I do include the @ symbol amongst a bunch of other letters/numbers... will try changing pw and will report back. Appreciate the idea Link to post

Tried and it didn't work 😕 and yes just to mention I've already tried uninstalling, reinstalling (restarting phone between). Tried twice now. Tried removing all saved pw/logins in iPhone settings. Weird I can login to web and desktop no problems... Link to post
TomSands 0 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I had the same problem with passwords, and it was because I choose bad passwords. I've trained myself to have the same simple password everywhere that I can remember. Because of this, the scammers managed to hack several of my accounts, because the password is the same everywhere. I was really scared and then I decided to use the services https://jealouscomputers.com/strong-password-generator/, this is a password generator. For each account, I generated a separate password and remembered it. After that, there was no more hacking of my accounts. Be careful and do not be lazy to remember passwords. Link to post
