While “Evernote” isn't saying how many how many passwords were captured, it is resetting the passwords of all its users as a precaution. “Evernote” has said on its website however, that no user content was taken, altered or lost and no payment information was accessed.
When you reset your password, “Evernote” suggests that you follow good password practice and follow these suggestions:
-
Do not use passwords based on simple words that can be found in a dictionary
-
Do not use the same password for multiple services or sites
-
If you get an email asking you to reset your password, never click on a link in that email but rather go directly to the site to change your password
