1Password says 2SA is not enabled for Evernote (downloaded from App Store) but it is enabled with Authy. I can't seem to upload screenshots. Is this a known problem? Thanks for your help.

    1PW knows (from a website list) what sites will accept 2FA, but it can only know if you have 2FA turned on for such a site if you are using 1PW itself to set up 2FA. It can't know about 2FA enabled by a different app.

    But if you add the tag 2FA to a login, it will then not be shown in the list of sites for which 2FA is not enabled.

    @erikcoolen - @danco is exactly correct: 1Password can't read data from other apps, or from the site in question; it only "knows" that a) there is 2FA available on that site (that's a pre-loaded list) and b) that you have not enabled it in 1Password. So it gets flagged. If you add the tag "2FA" (uppercase), this will be suppressed for any Login item you add that tag to.

    For an otherwise excellent product, the requirement that users must add the tag "2FA" to a Login entry is poorly documented. At a minimum, consider adding such a note to the Check for Inactive 2FA section of the Preferences Watchtower tab.

    @woobie51 - thanks for the suggestion. :)
