dgtremby1 0 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Hi fellow Evernote users: Did Evernote disable/get rid of the ability to encrypt notes or parts of notes? Am using release 10.28.3 and the encrypt function seems to have disappeared. I select text in a note, right click, but do not see the encryption option. Did I miss something with one of the recent updates? Link to comment
Mike P 2,624 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Still seems to be working for me 10.28.3-win-ddl-public (3151) Editor: v138.1.17456 Service: v1.45.0 © 2019 - 2022 Evernote Corporation. All rights reserved 1 Link to comment
ChristianJB 92 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 This function is still there, but after some tests the option for encryption was also gone for me. Just restart the client and the option appears again ... 3 Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 2,942 Posted January 13, 2022 Evernote Expert Share Posted January 13, 2022 If there is any formatting in the text or layout with bullets or tables then you cannot encrypt the text. That was true in the older version too... 2 Link to comment
J_Lund 0 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I had the same issue. Resetting Evernote completely did help, but there were other options that were not showing up for me as well before the reset (such as inserting rows for tables). Link to comment
Chuck Beitt 1 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 It won't encrypt text that has bullet points. I tried to do so and the Encrypt Selected Text option was missing. When I got rid of the bullet points, the Encrypt Selected Text was there normally when I highlighted the text and right clicked. I'd really like it if future versions will allow encrypting text that has bullet points or numbering. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,071 Posted July 6, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted July 6, 2022 This is a known behavior since v10 was released. To make EN aware of your wish, use the feedback function or a support ticket. Link to comment
Rainer Siebenand 0 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I arranged some sensitive Data using a tabel. Single phrases with confident content I encrypted. That works fine. For no apparent reason Evernote starts presenting the tabel in the note as HTM offering the option "vereinfachen und editierbar machen" (simplify and make editable). Use of that options allows access. But now - reason is unknown - the button does not react. Neither on Desktop nor online. And I have no longer access to encrypted contents. Also noticeable: Evernote is running on different Win/Android devices: On the mostly used computer, Evernote does not start. I get this error message: New installation does not help. Online and all other Device: the encrypt-Option isn´t offered Where is the way out? /si Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,071 Posted May 8, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted May 8, 2023 First and just to mention it, you use the legacy client of EN. It is deprecated since 30 months, not supported any more. Any malfunction is your own risk. The new version does support encryption only on plain text. Plain, unformatted text, and for sure no text in a table. Now, did you try to open the encrypted content on the legacy client ? Or did you use one of the new clients (with a version number 10.xx) ? The first picture looks as if taken from a v10 client, the following from Windows legacy. Link to comment
