  1. This really messes up my cooking! Seriously, I have a lot of study guides in EN and sometimes I flip back and forth to google for more details in safari and I get that split second view of where I was before it takes me back to the top. If I could just freeze that refresh right then and there. The horror! Ugh
  2. I can't say I have had this problem. I have used authy with evernote 2FA for years. One key, all my devices. If I was you, I would turn off 2FA, delete all the extra keys you got set up in authy, 1password and authenticator and then turn it back on and register it. You got too much junk in there to know what works and what doesn't. You don't enable 2FA authentication by operating system, it is based on your account. If you set up 2FA against your account, you use the same code against the web client, iOS, Mac OS, windows app, etc. HTH
  3. My biggest issue with Nimbus note is that I don't know anything about who they are. About the only thing I can find out is that the founders both graduated from the Russian state social university according to their profiles on linkedin. There's never been a mainstream article about this company. I am not comfortable giving them all my evernote data. I am more comfortable putting my data with a company I know. A company that will have whistle-blowers and press when something fishy is going on than a company I don't know squat about. This is one of those times where it's better to stay with the devil you know than the devil you don't. Besides their web clipper doesn't work on iphone (I did try their free account for a month)
  4. I still think this whole "evernote employees look at your notes" outrage is overblown. It's not like every employee has access to them. It was probably a few developers who needed to troubleshoot issues with the software. Sometimes you can't fix software until you know how your end users are using your software. You honestly think the Onenote developers can't look at your encrypted notes...they wrote the encryption and decryption functionality! Also, a quick google search shows there's about 20 software apps out there that will crack your onenote password. If you are worried about it, you probably shouldn't put it in the cloud even if it is encrypted.
  5. Absolutely critical disadvantages. Here's some more that annoyed me and still do since I am forced to use it at work. I use my phone a lot to clip pages, add to lists, set reminders on my notes. The clipper on iOS is horrible, takes little pictures of the webpages which you can't actually copy and paste text from later. It also only lets you clip to notebooks you have open on the device. Plus, if you forget to open the ON after you clip, it will not be synced to your other devices or windows application There is no way to set reminders (or outlook tasks in Onenote) unless you are using the Desktop application. Not even in the UWP application that is supposed to replace the desktop app. The recent notes section only shows notes from that device. It's a different list of notes on every device you open it on. There's also no history on the new UWP like in the desktop app. You can not sort by date, or see the date on a note was created in the preview view. You have to open the note to see the date...unless you accidentally remove it, then it's just gone . If you draw over text, drop an image in a document, it looks great. If you look at the same document on a phone, the drawing is moved somewhere else. Be careful not to make changes that will get saved, or your desktop will look the same. If you have a lot of notes, your phone app will be huge because it downloads the notebooks when you open a note. My onenote app was over 15 gb at one point and the only way to stop it is to close notebooks. That being said, there are advantages: it is free. Most people can also get some freebies to expand the maximum size from 5 to 15 or even 30gb. it is great to use with excel documents because you can just update the excel sheets right in the note. Works great with all office apps, and sharepoint. You can share notebooks, notes with other users without having to worry if they are premium users who can't see a note over 20mb. There's version control. You can go back to a previous version of the document (This is what causes a lot of the sync issues) If you are a student, they are really pushing the education aspect. You can follow classes, fill out quizes, do math formulas...
  6. Thanks everyone! I already had my personal laptop's drive encrypted with bitlocker. I am probably just paranoid but I wanted some sort of functionality similar to keepass where it prompts me for a passcode when it times out or the computer has been locked. Maybe it is just overkill, but when you sit in the airport in Atlanta and realize you left your laptop in a TSA bin in North Carolina, it would definitely calm my anxiety.
  7. There needs to be a security pin that locks Evernote from being accessed by strangers. If someone loses or gets their laptop stolen, all the notes are there for the picking. A security pin is the least we would need to put up a barrier. It would also be great if we could remove the laptop from accessible devices and make it trigger a deletion of all the data from the laptop before it can be accessed. Right now, it just stops anyone from syncing the account, but all data is still there to view. Thanks, Glenn
