    I see no problem with storing passwords in Evernote if they're encrypted. Evernote has text encryption, and I use the native encryption of file attachments

    Yep, but what about autofill and password generation?

    Haven´t used file attachment encryption but definitively will check it out!

    My computer is  secure
    I use password protection for my computer login (each user)

    Also password protection for my Evernote login

    Many thanks for the advice! 

    My PC is secure too, I mean my User is password-protected. However, I´m the only User here because I really don't see the need of creating a new Guest user that would be barely used. It´s not as if my BF asks, "hey, what´s the PC login so I can run a music playlist or check something in Google" and I won't tell him (I don´t have NASA-worthy information in here haha).

    All in all, to be honest, this feature is not really a deal-breaker for me - I can certainly leave without it. I know it is important for many people though. (Actually, I tested OneNote for about a week - ON does have this feature, among other cool features like text-to-speech - but I switched back to EN and I´m happy about my decision - I was mainly frustrated by ON tags and sync issues.

    What I'm really doing is, I removed the EV desktop shortcut, removed the taskbar shortcut, and removed the "Recently Used Software" feature in the Start Menu. I added a keyboard shortcut to EV and I make sure of closing the EV window when I´m leaving my PC.  So no, I didn't password-protect EV login because I want to access it quickly too. My main thinking is, if he doesn't know that I'm using this app, there's no reason for him to check it out of curiosity lol.

    I have seen this argument raised in the past against the need for this feature, and clearly the majority of people who have asked repeatedly for this feature don't find it compelling. If you don't see the need to provide an additional level of client side security on certain notebooks then fine, but a lot of people do. If I step away from my computer for a few minutes and the screen lock doesn't kick in, I don't want others to gain access to this information. Sure, I could cut the screen-lock time down but then I end up unlocking it a million times a day. I also don't want to log out of Evernote every time I use it as most of the information that I keep isn't sensitive. I am also sure that I would forget to logout and again the information in left open. Computer login and Evernote login capabilities are possibilities but they certainly aren't convenient or realistic in my environment. All we want is a simple password, how hard can it be?

    Indeed!

    I found the "note presentation" feature in EV quite cool; I don´t see myself using it like never ever, but surely many people find it useful. The same with password protected notebooks in EV - a feature 450+ people have voted up for. 

    I also don´t see myself adding a password in EV login because I want to access it quickly. It´s just overkill for the kind of information I store in there.

    Even when it is possible to manage passwords in EN, I think there is much more to a decent password manager than just an encoded space into which I can save my passwords. If I have this need, I would always go for the real stuff. There are no-cost solutions that are quite powerful, and others that will cost a buck, but offer more comfort / functions. Personally I use 1Password and would not switch to EN even if full encryption would be available there.

    Yep, I also don´t believe one app should be used for everything. EN is a note-taking app, not a password manager. I've used Lastpass for about 2 years and I wouldn´t store my passwords in Evernote either.  Lastpass autofills login info automatically, it generates secure passwords, and has other login-security features that EV would never match, because EV isn´t designed for that!

    I fully trust the encrypted transmission and Google's could platform to keep data encrypted on servers. I don't think Google has ever had any issues with data breeches, encryption breeches. Encrypting an entire Notebook, or especially a note, rather than just selected text would be convenient, but It's just not that hard to select text > encrypt for the sensitive pieces. You can even (windoze) Ctl+A to select entire note, encrypt. However, it will not encrypt if there are images, attachments embedded.

    This feature REQ has been around a very long time and my take is that EN development team just doesn't see encryption breeches as much of a real threat. Encrypting selected text is just for client side and I have my PC pswd protected in addition to encrypting selected sensitive text. Just my 2 cents worth.

    I also trust the EV and Google encryption, but there's still a local privacy matter, at least that's my only concern. For example, I've my digital personal journals in EV and I don't want my boyfriend to read it in my PC. Encrypting every note for this kind of things is just overkill. If I could encrypt the entire notebook, that would be much easier.

    This thread was created in 2013 and there are many replies on 2018. My current posting date is Oct 2019 and still this basic feature is not implemented. This is very basic and important feature for privacy and still not done yet in Evernote. Are all Developers or Support members sleeping?

    Indeed!

    Multiple inboxes or spaces for solopreneurs and freelancers

    Hi everyone,
     
    This is my first post here. Please excuse any grammar mistakes (I'm not a native English speaker, but I hope my point gets across).
     
    First off, let me start off by saying I'm the kind of user who would love to see nested folders as a feature in EN. I know many people think folder trees are the worst thing after... whatever. However, without folders, I find it difficult to organize all of my personal stuff, personal projects, business projects, and client projects without an additional structural level.
     
    I'm in a Premium tier and I thought it was enough since I'm just getting started, but then I saw Business accounts have 2 inboxes and work spaces. I think multiple inboxes or spaces would also work for a solopreneur or freelancer who could then separate personal stuff from business stuff and client stuff, and then we wouldn't need folder trees, right?
     
    However, the pricing tier is not friendly with solopreneurs or freelancers that work solo, since it requires a minimum of 2 users. Since I'm just getting started with my business, and there are lots of other things I've to pay for monthly, I can't really afford to pay for an additional unnecessary user when I work alone (at least, not now). Additionally, I think spaces are really meant for team work and collaboration. Maybe the EN team could implement an adaptation and pricing structure that works for solopreneurs and freelancers who could benefit from this feature or a light version of it?
     
    What do other users think about it?
     
    Many thanks!
