Evernote Stuck on "Signing In" / Can't Log In
Workaround available Windows, Mac, Web Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Login loops are most often caused by ad blockers, VPNs or browser cache on the sign-in page. Clear the browser cache, disable blockers for accounts.evernote.com, and check your device clock if 2FA codes are rejected.
Most likely fix: Clear browser cache.
Symptoms
The app or browser stays on 'Signing In...', loops back to the login page, or rejects your two-step verification code.
Why it happens
- Ad blockers or Brave Shields on accounts.evernote.com
- VPN or firewall interfering
- Stale browser cache
- Device clock out of sync (2FA codes rejected)
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Clear browser cache
- Clear cache for 'All time' in the browser that opens the login page
- Retry the sign-in
2. Disable blockers, VPN and firewall for Evernote

- Brave: cancel the stuck attempt, turn off Shields for accounts.evernote.com, and log in again
3. Fix rejected 2FA codes
- Enter a fresh code immediately
- Set your phone's clock to automatic time
4. Use a backup code or reset 2FA
- Use a one-time backup code, or reset two-step verification in Account Settings > Security Summary if you can sign in on Web
