Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's weird though, no? The majority have definitely been removed.

Yes, it's definitely odd. A search for "two factor site:evernote.com" ( http://www.google.com/search?q=two+factor+site:evernote.com ) shows that most do seem to be unavailable.

The first one that seemed removed was actually moved to a thread talking about 2fa. It seems it's more a matter of consolidating multiple threads on the same topic into a single thread. Which makes sense.

If anything, it's a failure to use a 301 moved permanently header.

It's unclear. Some of the search results don't work, but this one does: http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/20932-two-factor-authen...

Wow the people are really adamant about not implementing Two-Factor-Authentication in Evernote.

At a former company (which has since gone out of business) I met some people who loved Evernote.

One was an administrator who cheerfully kept confidential details about the security of our corporate network in it without once reading the Evernote TOS or considering the consequences if those TOS changed.

Even after I explained that those TOS clearly violated several parts of his employment agreements, he continued to use it. He didn't think there was anything wrong since our CFO also kept a lot of sensitive information in it...
