Issue with "Evernote" texting me a "verification code"

[monicahuck 0]

I am having an issue with "Evernote" texting me a "verification code" to my phone approximately every 15 minute for 2 days.  I've tried to stop the texts, I've blocked the text phone number on my iPhone.  But I am still receiving.  I'm assuming it's either a bug or hack?  

Please help!  I have been an Evernote user since 2009 and I have never had this issue.

Hi.  The verification code probably means someone -obviously not you- is trying to access your account,  possibly by mistake but with a badly-coded robot process that's continuing to try to get into the account.  You should report it to Evernote Support (which we're not) and consider changing your account details...

Several threads in the Forums deal with 'phantom' access to accounts - usually via a user name and password sourced from another account breach online.  If Evernote is given the right credentials for access it doesn't have any way to trace that a user is not elsewhere in the world.  There are several ways to protect your account - check for breaches here:
