You can run circles around me parsing words and parts of sentences. Sounds like an oxymoron, just like jumbo shrimp.Īgain, the question posed was regarding security practices of shared credentials. If a Google sign-on is good enough, Evernote should be free. The price I pay for Evernote Premium is already too high. Many will disagree, and I'm OK with that. When will you have the same service available for Apple IDs? If I had a team using Evernote to collaborate I would insist that they do not use Google credentials for their Evernote account. There are numerous easy-to-read and implement books on security, passwords, and how to effectively strengthen an protect your digital life. If someone finds out your big secret master password you are in trouble. In this era of password products available to securely encrypt and store hundreds of passwords, there really is no need to know any of your passwords. As you have already pointed out, it is not about product integration. While on a smaller scale, this is like deciding that we should all have one username and password for every account associated with us: social, personal, financial, business, and so forth, to make the point. Should Google ever become compromised, so will all Evernote users who have elected to use Google credentials for Evernote, and vice versa. But a new person might be more inclined to join evernote if it is just that much easier to establish an account, which is good for Evernote, which makes it good for me as an EN user.Īnytime someone can reduce another sign-in it seems like a "win." But in this case, you still have to sign in, it's just with credentials and authentication that the user utilizes for Google. I'm not going to use the Google sign in because I am happy with my separate EN userID, password, and 2FA setup. I am not sure any other company in the world could do what Google has taken on there.
I'd honestly say Google is the best at it, which is why Brian Krebs' security blog moved to Google. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and a very few others have become masters of hosting massive amounts of data securely and privately. Contracting to use Google hosting services, just like thousands of other companies do, has nothing to do with independence. This isn't "another" step towards google and away from Evernote independence because there wasn't a first step to begin with.
They just sign in to a new service with their Google Account. It is faster because at a minimum, a new user doesn't need to set up a new account with Evernote. Is this another step towards Google and a step away from Evernote's independence? Google needs a user name/email and password.
