Phantom 2FA messages

[jpmellojr 3]

I am getting 2FA codes sent to my phone when I have not tried to log into Evernote. It appears as if someone is trying to access my account without authorization. Is there any way to test this theory?

Hi.  With around 220M users,  the chances are that someone with a similar name to you is just getting their user details wrong.  2FA is at least proving its worth! 

You can check whether any unauthorised devices have ever succeeded in connecting here:  https://www.evernote.com/Devices.action and you can verify what apps have access here: https://www.evernote.com/AuthorizedServices.action.  It is possible that your user details have been hacked from another website and this is evidence that the black hats are checking around to see what else of yours they might be able to access. 

You can confirm whether your details are secure here...
