VERIFICATION CODES


Recommended Posts

I repeatedly receive verification codes when I am not currently attempting to access Evernote. If this is a hacking attempt, I already use two-step verification. I also have changed my password and waiting to see how long it will take for me to have to change it again. If not a hacking attempt, but a technical issue, please advise.

Hi.  Seems like your two-step logon is clearly working.  You can check whether any unauthorised devices have ever connected 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. 

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:
