So while Twitter/X only removes 2FA by SMS for non-paying users, Evernote removes it AND puts the price up anyway? Perhaps they could at least fix the passcode bug on Android first?

I just checked the release notes to see, and admittedly it says "We temporarily disabled passcodes, as a bug was causing a white screen at launch that prevented the usage of Evernote. Passcodes will be fixed and reintroduced soon." Too bad this is only for EN-US users and my phone is set to German, where the release notes just say (translated) "We came, we saw, we fixed some errors". So, no, I wasn't warned before updating.

"Nothing is at risk"? A level of security has been removed, so of course the risk level has risen. Phones get stolen, phones get hacked, people get observed entering they unlock pin for the phone. The passcode adds a level of security to the data stored in Evernote. I find removing it without warnung irresponsible. I have compared it to my bank card. It's stored in my personal wallet and no-one knows my pin. No-one has access to it, as long as it with me. If the card gets stolen, I know that it is useless at the cashpoint without that pin. Unless the bank says "sorry, we had to fix a problem, so we turned off the pin requirement to withdraw cash". "One can argue"... yes, but one can also say the users are (sorry, "were") already using and paying for this feature. Rather than being warned not to update and lose the feature, I got an e-mail telling me I'll be paying double for the priviledge from next month.

Seriously? I updated the app to see if synchronising was any better before I starting taking a decision about my future with Evernote (thanks to price being almost double from next month for me), and now my notes are *unprotected* on my phone because you removed the passcode feature? Evernote has a slogan on the website "Safe and synced". At the moment, my notes on my phone are neither!
