If you have a Google account, you can use it to sign in to Evernote. This means you've got one less password to remember. Once you've authorized and enabled Google Sign-in as an option, you can use your Evernote and Google login details interchangeably.
Set up Google Sign-in for Evernote
Before you can sign in to, or create a new, Evernote account with Google, you'll need to give Evernote permission to view relevant information about your Google account, such as basic profile info.
You'll be asked for permission:
- The first time you set up Google Sign-in for an existing Evernote account
- When you create a new Evernote account with Google Sign-in
You may be asked to reconnect to your Google account when the connection between your Evernote and your Google accounts expire, or if you've disabled and re-enabled Google Sign-in.
Please keep in mind that if you ever want to close your Evernote account created through Sign in with Google, you'll need to have a password. You can use the link here to ask for a password reset, even if you didn't have a password before.

If I want to sign in with Google, do I have to create a new Evernote account?
No. You can use Google to sign in to your existing Evernote account by enabling Google Sign-in in your account settings or choosing "Sign in with Google" in the Evernote app.

I signed in with Google and now can't find my Evernote notes. What happened?
You may have accidentally signed into an old account or created a new account. Go to your account settings to check the email address and "Member Since" date; this should give you an idea of whether you're in the right account. To connect to a different account, disable "Sign in with Google" on the Connected Services page, then sign in to the Evernote account you'd like to connect and return to the 'Connected Services' page to enable Google Sign-in.
If you are still having trouble finding your primary account, please refer to this article.
