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

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.

Hmm.. As a site owner I try not to jump to conspiracy conclusions, as I've certainly been on the receiving end of enough of them due to random coincidences and such. That said, this does indeed seem odd. Did you try posting a question in their forums about it?

The top search result (for me) is http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/24995-security-two-fact...

which appears to have been merged with a thread to create

Me also but have regularly checked their 2fa threads because it's a feature I'm interested in so was surprised to see them gone so soon after the hack. As you say, could be unrelated.

Haven't posted a question no.

Ah, interesting. Maybe a case where a 301 could have removed all ambiguity?
