Once you've authorized and enabled Google Sign-in as an option, you can use your Evernote and Google login details interchangeably. This means you've got one less password to remember. Especially in this era where data breaches don’t even merit more than a passing mention.įor more information – visit Lastpass.If you have a Google account, you can use it to sign in to Evernote. However I still view a solution like Lastpass as much safer than re-using the same password on multiple sites.

Is there a chance that Laspass could suffer a data breach? Perhaps. Instead you want to use password management software such as Lastpass ($12/year) which will automatically generate a unique password for every site you visit and then store that password inside it’s encrypted vault.

Once the hacker has a database of user names/passwords they might go over to a more important site like a bank or a Paypal account in hopes that the password used on one site was also used on the other. Hackers in general are looking to compromise sites not so they can vandalize them - though that happens too - but more often so they can mine user names and passwords in hopes that the user has carelessly re-used them on another site. Why? The reason for this is I long ago gave up re-using any password on more than one site. Today I feel not much else other than “another day another online hack”. A few years ago such a notice of a data breach might have caused panic. I received notice that a discussion forum used by Evernote to provide tech support has been hacked.
