You don’t have 2FA if you don’t have 2FA. Still wondering what exactly will happen if I am not able to do this? There are many more sites that store my information and are not requiring more than 2FA, so I am still unclear as to why Evernote is choosing this direction, especially since they do not seem to be available to answer questions. Are you speaking about Twilio Authy ? Perhaps that will work. That didn't make enough space for google authenticator. I have removed many more than the # of pics you suggest. Personally I use Authy, for ease of use and the ability to run it without any problem on several devices simultaneously. You can pick whatever app you want to use, as long as it generates standard one time cipher codes. ![]() This is the only option for 2FA, and I do not suggest to skip this security step altogether. OK, Microsoft is a hard one, here a whole album with maybe 45 pictures has to go. Please comment and clarify, thanks! Authenticator: 38MB, Microsoft Authenticator 186 MB, Authy 27 MB etc.Īnd you don’t have room for another app ? For Authy erase 7 pictures, for Goggle Authenticator 10, and you have the space. Better still, why can't EN simply state outright on the user's security setting page that " any TOTP-compliant 3rd party authenticator app (Google Microsoft 1Password etc.) can be used by choosing the appropriate option in security settings>2FA," if, in fact, that is the case? Pretty simple to communicate, really, yet EN is fumbling this one. If this is accurate and true, then EN really should post a clearly worded advisory on the EN user's account settings/security settings page, explaining that choosing "Google" is actually "an umbrella option," allowing them to use any TOTP-compliant authenticator app. I'd like to use that, but how? Please explain, in detail.Īlso, EN expert user "Agsteele" advises (above) that any TOTP-compliant authenticator app will work fine for 2FA with EN, and to simply "choose the Google option" when reconfiguring your 2FA options in your EN account settings security page in order to use any TOTP-compliant 2FA authenticator app. Simionato indicates that the popular 1Password app can be used, however, as a 1Password app user myself, I'm unaware of that app having 2FA code generator capability (being a password manager app, of course, the 1Password app can generate random passwords, but I've not seen a 2FA code generator facility in 1Password app. ![]() This seems like a rather glaring oversight, and for many (including myself), this omission will lend the impression that the discontinuation of SMS 2FA is not genuine or at least not imminent, and therefore, need not be acted upon by the account holder. Evernote has placed a banner at the top of my (Evernote) home screen page advising of the discontinuation of SMS 2FA, however, no such warning or advisory appears on my account security settings page where options like 2FA are chosen or declined.
