You can add some security to your account if you wish - go to the devices page and 'revoke access' on any device you don't use. If you need memorable passwords and have a favourite poem, one line - "I wandered lonely as a cloud" (for example) is probably as secure as the random one (same length!). A 30-character random string like this syovw6te62ksVtaJap3SRJKN5NC6n2 is probably a little unwieldy, but it's automatically generated and entered by the application whenever I need it. The passwords they generate are as long and as complicated as you like. I've used password apps - LastPass and BitDefender for about 10 years, and never had any concerns about my - or their - security. (Hover your cursor over the green icon to message him direct). You didn't get an email - it would appear - because nobody knew about this.Įvernote security lead Tener should certainly be told about it. On a couple of previous occasions in the past several years, Evernote (like many other firms) has successfully detected and hopefully resisted an attack, but in both cases has contacted all users involved and advised them as a precaution to change their password. You're obviously doing the right thing in changing your password, but how and why this mysterious Egyptian IP address had access to your account I have no idea. GAH! I've emailed the support people but is there anything they can do? Damn the internet. So this is both a post just to vent and say ARGH! Why don't they send an email to say someone else has logged into your device? Or have more security when it's from another country?Īnd secondly, has anyone else had this happen? Do you think it is an individual and that they might have downloaded and be going through all my notes as we speak? Or is it some kind of bot that doesn't actually care to read this stuff? I don't know where to start - feel I need to look through all 647 notes to see where my security may have been compromised. Never worried about it before and now I don't know where to start. I've used Evernote for years with no problems and am now freaking out that I need to change my password for everything, and also that my whole life is on there and some of its pretty personal or a security risk. I'm in the UK and using android on a Sony phone.
This led to the discovery that 18 hours ago my account was accessed by an Iphone with an IP address in Egypt. I just discovered on going to use Evernote on my phone that it was asking me to deactivate a device in order to use it.
