Hi All, We often see threads/posts from users indicating that they have lost access to their Evernote Account, and are trying to regain that access. This can occur for a myriad of reasons, but generally the issues are related to a user losing or forgetting their password, losing the ability to access Two-Factor Authentication verification, or they lose access to the email address tied to their Evernote Account. Given the nature of these types of access issues, users will need to open a support ticket in order to address the issue and regain access to their Evernote Account. The reason for this is that only our customer support team has access to the tools necessary to make changes to an Evernote Account. Additionally, users may need to provide information that we do not want to make publicly visible in the discussion forums. To open a support ticket, go here. You will be prompted to login to your Evernote Account, but if you do not have your login credentials available, click on Continue as guest. From the What can we help you with? dropdown menu, select the ‘My Account’ category. From the Select a topic dropdown menu, select the type of issue you’re encountering. Once you have selected the topic, you should see the option to submit a support ticket at the bottom of the page. The button looks like this: Once you have submitted the ticket, one of our support agents will reach out to you to further assist you with the issue you’re encountering.- 8 replies

If this is the wrong place for this, I apologize. Okay: Why is there no option to have a password for the desktop version? This seems like an incredibly easy and sensible option to NOT have, and it deters me from wanting to get premium, since it would only secure the app on my phone. Why would I pay for half a service? On a completely different note, I noticed that there is a new color scheme that uses a more blue-ish green on some screens and parts of the website, but not others. I liked the other green, as it was easier to see agaist the white and more vibrant, but why make a change that isn't even consistant? This is another decision that doesn't make much sense to me. -
web Web client unable to open password encrypted notes
skittlespop123 posted a topic in Web Client Issues
The problem I'm having started off with not being able access my encrypted note on the Web client. First I double clicked the grey password encryption bar like I normally do on the Desktop client and nothing happen. Out of frustration, I clicked it quickly a couple more times and then it suddenly disappeared. This is only my 3rd or 4th time accessing my notes from the web client, and then I came to realization that the web client was in beta and password encrypted notes are not yet supported so the system might be buggy. I decided to check Evernote on a newly installed desktop client and then again on my phone to find no trace of the grey bar I needed to access my note. My note is now just blank, white space where the encryption bar used to be. Is there any way I can retrieve the data from that note, even though the encyrption key bar is gone? Can I get the encryption key back? I still remember my hint and password needed to unlock it. Thanks. -
Is there some way to put a password on individual notes (as opposed to encrypting selections of text)? I've searched high and low ... but cant figure out if this is possible. Thanks

Evernote's Mac app should really have password protection. It's the 21st Century! And will soon be 2018--come on! With all we read about sensitive data being stolen all of the time, don't you think Plus and Premium users deserve a little security?? PLEASE ADD PASSWORD PROTECTION to the EVERNOTE MAC APP!! THANKS!

I keep being asked for my password to synchronize in Windows 7, but after inputting my password get asked to repeat the process ad-infinitum! -
My note which was password protected for years suddenly lost. The only thing left behind is the title of the note with no content. The most interesting part is how on earth, a password protected notes suddenly becomes password-less. I was on a free plan and in order to report and get support from Evernote I had to upgrade to a paid plan (Plus). It's been more than 48 hours and I did not get any response yet. Today, I sent my second message and still waiting!!! I am already upset due to my lost notes and even worse very frustrated that support is not taking care of this urgent matter. Am I missing something here? -
I updated my Evernote account password via web account management and now my notes won't sync from the Windows PC client software. It's like different Evernote security/authentication servers are in use, and the sync between them is not working, or working abnormally slowly. Or a flag got set on my account because two different sets of passwords don't match. I don't know what the real deal is. The only way I can sign into the Windows PC client software is with my old password. When I try to use the new password, I am told it's an invalid password. I have logged out of everything Evernote multiple times on both my phone and the Windows client software. I can get into my web account management portal, I can access my notes in the Windows PC client. I just cannot make sync work now that my password has changed. Do I need to revert back to my old password? I would prefer not, but if that's what I have to do to get it to work, please let me know. -
Hi there, I browsed a little bit through this forum to find an answer regarding protecting a folder within my evernote account. Maybe I’m blind or stupid - but I found nothing regarding this feature. My Idea was to create a folder like "passbox" with important information like passwords or bank account. Would be great to get a feedback - btw - is there a link or email address available for suggestions? Kind Regards -
When I start Evernote via a shortcut on my Mac I firstly want to key in my password before the opening page with my notes become visible. I've this functionality on my i phone (Touch ID or 4-digit pin code). Momentarily the application opens directly and fully when I double click on the short cut logo of Evernote.

Is it possible to "lock" Evernote (or parts of it) to make private notes? In case someone uses your computer and tries to take a look into your notes. I found out, that Premium users can do this in iOS or Android, but what about on my Mac?

My goal is to have Evernote save my username and password and automatically log me in every time I start up the mac version of the app. Seems easy enough, the first time I fire up the application I enter my username / password and check the "stay signed in" checkbox. After a successful login I then shut Evernote down. The problem is every time I start a new session with Evernote it pops up the login screen, even though I asked it to stay signed in. Subsequently I find myself rarely using the app because I don't want to enter in my password each time. I tried deleting the app and re-installing it to no avail. This is not a problem for Evernote on my iPhone. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks in advance.

Troublesome aggravating strange ..I WILL REFRAIN FROM APPLYING battling to resist drooping adjectives from that harsher class of similar epithets our great doing-no-evil dog and savior g--gle are presently excised from existence. Suffice it to say that this triffling matter IS, nonetheless, um, ... FRUSTRATING. i ONLY JUST (these past minutes) ESTABLISHED MY FIRST EVERNOTE ACCOUNT. Making use of one of the standard options presented, I CHOSE TO CREATE my Evernote profile/acount via MY G--GLE ACCOUNT. BingBangBoom, and done, no problem. The subsequent webpage gave the impression that the initial work to create my account (meaning -- simply making the choice to use my g--gle acct) resulted in successfully executed Evernote account launch. I hadnt been asked about passwords, etc. et al., hadnt been prompted for anything more. Fine, i thought, account basics, it seemed, were in place -- all replicated from my google account as it seemed. Straightaway i headed to my Evernote account details (exactly as i do each and every time i set up a new internet account). First, I want to change my email address. No problem. In a form-field box titled 'new email", provided for this very operation, i entered the new email address, and in the next box, titled password (as i recall), i entered my password for that email. Next i want to make another change to my account info. Dear wonderful and protective Evernote asked for my account password before i could return to that area. Well, as I'd never been prompted to create a Evernote account password, i gave my google account's p/w. ---- Okay, already wasted too much time on this unbelievably stupid ***** -- so i will quickly conclude ------. My G--gle acct password didnt work. Thereafter, i set off frantically trying every imaginable passwordy letter concoction in the world that might have become injected into this establishment-of-account activity (in the last 8 mins!! WHICH IS ALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT). I suppose the problem here is that i failed to properly I.D. a stupidly and imprecisely labled 'create your evernote password' form field -- and potentially typed something there. So, i tried, as password attempts, everything that i remember typing. all failed to work. Evernote added to my joy by never providing a 'forgot p/w?' bypass. Then of course i was blocked for too many wrong attempts.

So far I enjoy using Evernote on the Mac. I don't use it nearly as much as some of the people here and the one that really kills me is that every time I open Evernote it adds the "EvernoteHelper" application to my user startup items. I don't user Evernote all day long so I have no problem launching the app when I need to use it and I especially don't need the Evernote icon in the task bar. I have searched through the preferences and there doesn't seem to be a way to stop Evernote from adding the helper app to my startup items each time I open the application. I did find the option to not show the icon in the task area but that doesn't seem to stop the app from running. Am I missing something? Anyone have any idea how to stop this from happening?- 28 replies

I think the feature for the ability to protect single notes would be nice. This would make it possible for me to keep Evernote running and not worrying about some notes that is more personal then others.. This could work by right clicking a note and add password on it, the password could be the same as your standard password... On a side note the "Preview" text of a note also shows some lines of preview (of what is in the note). If again this was a personal thing it would be nice to be able to remove the preview of the first lines of text, to not show whats inside the file.. The current work around is to insert some lines of "blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla" to hide the text from the preview. // Poul

I'm using my personal Evernote account at work. Most of us do and it's ok. However, I noticed that recently, when I launch it, it automatically opens and there's no request for a password. I haven't changed my Keychain Access or anything in Preferences. I need that privacy of a password at launch for Evernote. How do I make that happen now? Thanks in advance! -
I enter data in evernote notes about three or four times daily via iphone. But due to an increased functionality of a computer, I update/revised the notes on my computer weekly. I am the only user of my iphone, but have several people using my computer which of course contains the synced evernotes. As such, I really wish that there was a way to password protect some of my notes, seeing that I jot down thoughts in evernote via iphone daily, which I don't want users of my computer to have access to. Without this password protect functionality, I turn to word processing programs available on my iphone. Am I right, evernote notes can't be password protected? Thanks

It looks like I found a bug in the various login methods provided by Evernote. I tried to contact support but as a basic customer it doesn't look like there's even a way to report bugs anymore without upgrading to chat or send an email. The password reset page allows for a password with a maximum length of 64 characters. I chose a 64-character password and everything worked fine. I then tried to connect my Android Evernote app using the new credentials and it wouldn't work at all. I went back to the website and logged out/in again and had the same issue. Neither login method worked anymore. I used the "forgot password" method to reset my password to something 40 characters long and now everything works. I'd check your backend limitations (database), front-end limitations (app login fields, website login fields), and website password reset fields to make sure that they're all working with the same assumptions for maximum password length. -
Yesterday I updated to OSX Yosemite and updated Evernote to 5.6.2. And now I can't disable the auto login function anymore... I don't want Evernote to automatically sign in when starting the program. It should ask for my Evernote password, like it has always done. I'm probably missing something here. Anyone knows where to look to get this option back?

safari Authentication State Integration & Persistence
Scifitechguy posted an idea in Web Clipper Requests
This feature was probably requested already. If so, please add this to the tally. To prevent ad-trackers and other attempts to invade my privacy, I am one who frequently deletes my web history on Safari. Unfortunately, this action also appears to eliminate the web clipper authentication cookie/token, requiring me to re-authenticate nearly every time I go to use Evernote Web Clipper. With two-factor authentication enabled (which requires an additional data entry step) this quickly becomes very tiresome! The most valued feature you could add is integration with the desktop client authentication state (including second factor), versus maintaining state in the browser. Next to web clipper on my Safari toolbar, I have the 1Password extension. This Safari component is smart enough to know the authentication state of the desktop application, and does not prompt me for a password unless application preference setting thresholds for password state have been exceeded. If Evernote Web Clipper behaved similarly, that would be a very welcome feature indeed!-

My password works fine with the Web version but the iPad app won't accept it. I have typed it very carefully several times, so I don't think I've made a typing mistake. Any help/suggestions much appreciated.

I need to change the password of my Android Evernote app. I done a search on this forum and found others with the same question but I cannot get any of the solutions to work. Is there a way to change the password without logging off and having to resync everything. Seems like there should be a menu item that says "Password." Thanks for your help.

Through a chat and a support ticket, I have learned I have absolutely no way to change my Evernote password using my iPad: I must resort to the laptop. No other web service provider (site or app) I use or am aware of suffers this limitation. IMHO it is a security shortcoming. My iPad is my main computing device—even for website design, development, and maintenance—not to mention the customary email, browsing, blogging, etc. I usually whip out the laptop only occasionally for ==>its own<== routine maintenance and backups: it is secondary and incidental. The iPad (and perhaps also iPhone) need more granular administrative control over the Evernote account. I hope the Evernote developers will devote some of my Premium funding to this pursuit with due haste. -
