![]() I agree with your general advice about passwords and 2FA and follow it. Is there a way of informing Evernote about this? They would presumably want to know. I wonder whether anyone else has encountered a similar problem. It is more likely that a glitch in the Scannable/Evernote caused a change in my settings. I don't believe that I changed my settings during that period since (1) I was always reluctant to do this (2) there was no reason for me to change that attitude and (3) I would have remembered this, particularly since I would have had to change the settings twice-choosing "always save" in 2017 and then reversing that in 2019. But reviewing the Evernote notebook I see that my scans were saved there only during the 2-year interval (Oct 2017-Oct 2019). So what happened? I have been using Scannable constantly since 2013. This is in fact how I recall setting it up. It not connected to Evernote and the option "Always save to Evernote" is greyed out. Most important are your mail accounts, because they can be used to reset the entry to many other services as well.Īfter having done these steps, you can google yourself from time to time to find out whether there is personal information about you from unknown sources, or looking like somebody build a second identity out of data stolen from your account. ![]() You can make this harder by reviewing the status of your online life, and harden your account, user and password situation following the advise above. First it will create good passwords, second it will avoid duplicity, third a good one will scan the internet for breaches and warn you.Ģ FA is a good idea wherever it is offered.Ĭoncerning your personal situation there probably is a risk that a person has taken valuable information from your account and is trying to use it to his own advantage. I think because there are so many passwords, it is advisable to use a good password manager for this task. So never reuse login data, always create unique, strong passwords for each app and service you use. The warning is well placed, since each EN account typically contains personal information of all kind. IMHO the documentation for Scannable is pretty good, compared to other apps I use. In general it is advisable to read the documentation of an app before using it. Your questions concerning Scannable are all answered in these help docs. There are several help pages available on the EN support pages, like these: In the „extended“ menu you can toggle „save last scan on this device (for 30 days)“ on and off. You can enable or disable „Always save in EVERNOTE“ Open the App, Click on the 3 dots, choose settings. And third to ask advice on what to do next-should I assume that identity theft is coming down the pike? Or, better, to use Scannable without an Evernote account-which is what I thought I was doing until this morning. ![]() Second to ask if there is a way of setting up Scannable such that it does not automatically dump scans into an Evernote notebook. First to warn other users in my situation. I have upgraded my password and will go for two step authentication but that won't undo the damage done. On further checking I learned that this had happened about 65 times in the last three months!! This is bad news. I looked into this because last night I got an email from Evernote telling me that my account had been accessed by a user I don't know. I was dismayed to learn this since some of the scans have personal and financial information. But today I discovered that more than 300 scans over the past 6 years are in an Evernote "notebook" which appears to be in the cloud. My understanding from the app was that scanned documents were stored on the device for 30 days and then deleted. I use Scannable (on iPhone) but not any other Evernote services.
