Two-step authentication seems to break compatibility with my Sony PRS-T2 ebook reader. The device includes a built in Evernote client which worked fine. It's used for synchronizing data and to save links or text snippets.
Now I was trying to access Evernote for sending a link from within an ebook. I got a "account not setup" message. When I was trying to setup my account, I always get an "user name or password invalid" error. My login data is correct, I just verified with it the web interface.
So what's going on here? Does two-step authentication breaks old apps? From this thread I got the conclusion that old apps should still work.
Is there any workaround available?
I know this is an old post but I just setup Evernote on my Sony PRS-T3 Reader.
Do as follows on the Evernote website:
Activate 2FA
Goto your Profile
Security Summary
Manage Settings
Manage Application Passwords > New Application Password
Enter an alias for your Sony Reader
Click "Generate New Application Password"
Make a note of that password!
On your Sony Reader:
Evernote Setup
Enter your user ID
Enter the Application Password you generated earlier
