User Manual
User Manual Enpass Version– 6.7 Welcome to the user manual of Enpass (Desktop version) for Windows, Mac and Linux. This manual describes how you can use Enpass to easily and securely manage your passwords, credit cards, bank accounts, and other confidential items. You will also find tips that help you make use of the wider capabilities of Enpass.
Introduction to Enpass Enpass is a simple and secure app to take care of your passwords and other credentials. It lets you securely save every kind of information using templates. Whether it’s passwords, logins, bank accounts, credit cards, National ID, Passport and more. All this data will be encrypted by a master password. You can also generate a unique and robust password with a single click, and you don’t need to remember them as Enpass can fill them automatically in apps and browsers. All your data is saved offline on your device, and you can rest easy knowing we offer military grade encryption. You can even sync across your multiple devices using your cloud accounts. Enpass is cross-platform and is available for all major platforms from your desktop to your smartphone.
Prerequisites

2. Create your master password and click Continue.
3. Confirm your master password on the next screen, and make sure to save it.
5 Master password
Note
This is the only password you need to remember. Because you need it to open/unlock Enpass, keep the master password safe and secure.
You are now a trial user of Enpass and can add up to ten items. See Adding items. By registering, you can remove this limit.
As an existing user If you are an existing user of Enpass, you would be having your data somewhere, either on any cloud where you have synced before or a local backup of data. You can directly restore that data from a Backup File or from a cloud.
• Open Enpass. On the Welcome screen, click Restore from Cloud or Backup File as applicable.
You will require the master password for this.
Master password Enpass encrypts all your data using the master password. You also unlock the app with it. Make the masterpassword strong. If you lose it, we cannot help you recover it. Write it down and store it in a safe, secure place. For tips on creating a strong password, see this blog post.
Caution!
The master password is irrecoverable.
6 Master password
Keyfiles Advanced users can add another layer of security by using a keyfile with the password. Enpass appends the characters in the keyfile to the password and uses them together to encrypt your data. To add a keyfile for your device, you need to:

You have successfully created a keyfile. If you have created multiple vaults and added keyfiles to them, you will need them to open these vaults.
Important
Keep the keyfile safe and secure as you will not be able to log in to Enpass without it. It is also irrecoverable- so backup all your keyfiles.

Customizing icons When you add an item, Enpass assigns it a standard (default) icon based on the url contained in the item. Enpass lets you customize the default icons in two ways:
• By using the website icons • By using your own images as custom icons
Using website icons Generally, website icons are small, iconic images (favicons) associated with a particular website which appear in the address bar of the browser. Enpass can download the website icons of the saved items and replace them with the default icons. They make your items more recognizable, saving time while glancing through the long list for a particular item.
Important
Enpass does not sync website icons across devices; you need to enable them individually on each device.
To enable website icons, follow these steps:
23 Adding and Managing items
In the main window, click Settings → Customize → select the Use Website Icons check box → Continue.
Enabling website icons for a particular site:
1. Open the item from the main window and click the Edit button. 2. Click the icon of the item and it will display these options:
• Choose icon • Use Website Icon (See figure below)
24 Adding and Managing items
4. Select Use Website Icon. The icon reverts to the favicon of the website. 5. Click Save.
Note
Custom icons are not replaced when you enable website icons.
Using your own images as custom icons You can also select and use your own icons for each item. These are the steps:
1. From the main window, open the item for which you want to change the icon. 2. Click the Edit button and then click the icon of the item.
25 Adding and Managing items
3. Click Choose Icon. Enpass displays a collection of icons from which you can select your icon for the item. To use the image from your computer as an icon, follow these steps:
1. Click + at the top right corner.
26 Adding and Managing items
2. Locate the image file on your computer and click Save. Enpass scales down your image to button size that you can use as your icon.
Subset of Password Some sites or applications ask for the subset of the password for authentication. The subset can be the 1st, 4th, next-to-last, last character, or maybe some special set of passwords. You can easily create the subset of password in Enpass using the steps below.
• Select the item → Right click on the password field → Select View Subset from the context menu. • Enter the position of character in the Position input box would reveal the underlying character at that index. e.g. write 1 for the first character and -1 for the last character in the input box. Click * i * icon for more info.
27 Adding and Managing items
• To get the continuous set of characters, enter the position of the first character and the number of total characters to be displayed, separated by a colon. e.g. if you want a subset of password of total 5 characters starting with the 2nd character, write 2:5. • To use this subset of password, click on the Copy button and paste it wherever needed.
Search Enpass assist you in searching an item directly from the search bar for quick access. Every list in Enpass (namely All Items, Favorites, Categories, Trashed and Archived items) is provided with a search bar on top.

Checking Compromised Passwords Enpass checks your passwords against a list of breached passwords managed by haveibeenpwned to see if any of your passwords have appeared in data breaches. It’s a trustworthy procedure, ensuring that your passwords are secure in Enpass and are never sent to the internet. There are two ways to check for compromised passwords in Enpass -
Checking Individual Password From the detail screen of an item, right-click on the password field → Check if Compromised.
36 Adding and Managing items
On the next screen, you’ll see a message to validate the operation. Tap Continue.
Enpass checks for the compromised passwords and displays results. Tap on Done
37 Adding and Managing items
You will now see the results.
Checking All Passwords You can check multiple passwords at once from the Audit section.
How does it work? It works on the k-Anonymity model where the first five characters of your SHA1 hashed password (the 40-character hash created from your password) is sent to haveibeenpwned.com. In response, it sends the list of all the leaked passwords starting with those same five characters. Enpass then locally compares the passwords’ hash to the list, and if it finds any matching password, you get a warning that the password has been leaked on the internet and must never be used.
What to do if you have Compromised Passwords? It is highly risky to use a compromised password because it is out there on the internet and visible to attackers. An attacker may not know that you have used that password, but you should still change it.
Change Password Immediately We recommend to change the password immediately and create a unique and robust password for such accounts. You can use the built-in password generator to create strong passwords.
38 Organization
Enable Two-Factor Authentication 2FA is a stronger form of security that double-checks your identity upon login. Enpass can identify the websites where you can turn on 2FA. It can also act as the authenticator and generate one-time codes for supported accounts saved in the app.
Regularly keep a check on Passwords’ Health You can keep a track on overall health of your passwords and logins from the Audit section.
Organization In Enpass, you can efficiently organize your credential using the following ways:
Marking Favorites To get quick access to the items, mark them as favorite. Favorites can be marked in three simple ways:
• From detail screen: Click the ■ icon on the detail screen of the item.
• From Sidebar: Drag and drop the item from any list in the sidebar to the Favorites list.
39 Organization
• Right-click on the item: Select an item. Right-click on it and choose Add to Favorite to add the item into the Favorites.
Using Tags Tags allow you to organize your data in your own way. The steps described here will guide you how to add tags in an item. You can navigate between tags from the sidebar.
Using Categories Enpass is having a wide number of categories and predefined templates to help you store your information quickly in a more organized way. Following steps will guide to add items to a category or to change the category of an existing item.
Hide Category You can hide the categories from sidebar from the Enpass settings. Click here to see the steps.
Add custom categories and templates Only the desktop version of Enpass allows you to create your own customized categories and templates. See here.
Change Category Steps described here will guide you to change the category of an existing item.
Using Multiple Vaults Multiple vaults can help you collaborate with Family and Team members through a shared cloud account. It helps you in better segregation of your data. To know more about multiple vaults read here.
40 Vaults in Enpass
Managing Sidebar In Enpass you are allowed to manage the sidebar according to your preferences. Under the ≡ menu on toolbar, select View and here you can show/ hide items count in the sidebar, show/hide Categories, Tags, Password Audit, the Other section in the sidebar, and even show/hide the values of the fields having sensitive field-type.
Vaults in Enpass All your Enpass items reside in a database that we call as a Vault. Multiple Vaults mean you can have more than one database in Enpass. It helps you to easily collaborate with family or team members through a shared cloud account. There are two types of vaults in Enpass; Primary and Secondary vaults.
Primary Vault The very first vault you create/add in Enpass is referred to as the Primary vault, and rest of the other vaults are considered as the secondary vaults in Enpass. You can not rename the Primary vault. The password of the Primary vault acts as the master password of Enpass. When you create multiple vaults, the passwords of other vaults are stored securely in the Primary vault and are removed when you delete the vault. That’s why when you unlock Enpass, all the vaults get unlocked automatically.
Multiple Vaults From version 6 onwards, Enpass allowed saving data in multiple vaults.
When to use Although the use of the multiple vaults varies as per the user’s requirements, but it is recommended to use multiple vaults only when you have to sync data of each vault to different cloud account; the purpose could be having a shared vault with a small team or family members. If the purpose is not sharing, you should not use multiple vaults to segregate your data; rather you should organize it by using some other ways as mentioned here.
Cloud Setup See the steps described herein the vault settings to sync your vault with a cloud account.
Note
Please note that no two vaults can be synced to the same cloud account and each vault in Enpass must be synced to a distinguished cloud. However, you can use the same cloud service provider (i.e., Dropbox, Google Drive, etc) but the accounts must be different per vault.
Passwords of Vaults As mentioned above, the primary vault by-default holds the passwords of all secondary vaults to unlock them automatically. In case you want to save passwords of secondary vaults in Enpass for reference in future, you can do with an option displayed while setting up the secondary vault.
• As long as the secondary vault is there in Enpass, you can always check its password from the vault setting page. Under the options menu (■) on the vault setting page, select Show Password.

47 Syncing Data
Working and Security The smooth browsing you do with Enpass is the result of mutual working of Enpass App, Enpass plugin (extension) and Enpass Assistant. Every single component has its unique functionality.
Components of Enpass
• Enpass App- This is the main application that you execute yourself from the launcher runs as a unique process in OS. Among all the components, only it can access the data from the encrypted Enpass database. Enpass App needs to be running to use Browser Extension. • Enpass Extension- Enpass Extension is the program that integrates into web browsers. It is responsible for filling the login and credit card details. • Enpass Assistant- It is the component that does all UI (user interface) work in the browser like presenting the list of items, taking user inputs and various other prompts. The Enpass Assistant always runs as a single process with main Enpass App and closes automatically with that.
Communication Enpass App communicates with Extension over a local web socket. We have tried to ensure maximum security so that no one can eavesdrop your sensitive data.
• Extension Validity Check- When a browser extension tries to connect to Enpass App, we verify the origin of the connection, it must be the unique identifier of our browser extension and browser will not allow any two extensions with the same ID. • Browser Validity Check- When a browser extension tries to connect to the Enpass app, we also verify its authenticity by checking its code signature, i.e. browser must be code signed with relevant company’s certificate (e.g., Chrome is signed by Google ).
Note
Browser Validity Check is not available on Linux as code signing is not available there.
• Pairing- Browser extension need to initiate a SRP handshake with a pairing code displayed. User have to manually enter that pairing code into Enpass. If the pairing code matches, both Enpass app and browser extension will be having a common secret at the end of handshake. Further communication will be encrypted with that common secret. Browser extension will also store a provided pairing key for further sessions. It is stored in extension sandbox. User can opt not to store next session pairing key, in that case browser need to pair for every browser session.
Advice for users For maximum security, we advise users to
• Download browsers from the legitimate sources only. • Carefully install the third party extensions.
Syncing Data Enpass lets you sync your data with other devices through any of the supported clouds, or locally using Wi-Fi or Folder on your device/network. Syncing across Enpss is completely secure as all your data is transmitted in encrypted format, and cryptography is always performed locally on the device itself.
Cloud Sync By the term cloud-sync, we mean that your data can be synced with the cloud of your choice (check supported clouds) and not with our server as we don’t store any of your private data.
48 Syncing Data
Sync creates an automatic back-up over the cloud. Hence, you can be reassured of data-restore, in case of device-damage or theft.
Supported clouds Currently, Enpass supports syncing of data across devices through your own account on following clouds.
• Dropbox • Google Drive • OneDrive (Personal/Business) • iCloud • Box • WebDAV • Nextcloud
Setup Cloud Sync Here are the steps to set up cloud sync in your vault.
Note
Please note that only one vault can be synced with one cloud account at a time. You can not sync multiple vaults with one cloud account. However, you can use multiple accounts of the same cloud, e.g., Dropbox to sync multiple vaults.
Cloudless Sync With cloudless sync, you can sync your data over a local Wi-Fi or any folder on your device/network without the need of any cloud service.
Wi-Fi Sync Wi-Fi Sync in Enpass lets you sync data between devices connected to same network. To use Wi-Fi Sync, you need to start Wi-Fi Sync server from a desktop device on the network and host the vaults from that desktop to which other device on the network can connect and sync. So it’s a two step process–
1. Setting up Wi-Fi Sync Server 2. Configuring Sync on other devices
Note
Wi-Fi Sync in Enpass is a bit complicated, and its functionality depends on your network setup, software, and OS configuration. In case you face any challenges in setting it up flawlessly, head straight to the troubleshooting page.
Folder Sync Enpass lets you sync with any folder, accessible on your device. The folder-sync thus, works as an offline Auto backup feature that takes backup of your data in any folder, as soon as you make changes.
Set up Folder Sync
• Click on Set up Sync and select Folder Sync from the list.
49 Backup and Restore
• It will open the local storage directory where you can choose any folder of your choice or even create a new one to sync the Enpass data.
Sync Timings
• Every time you unlock your Enpass keychain, an auto-sync is initiated. (If Sync is turned on). • Auto-sync also happens after every 15 secs, while the app is in the foreground. • When you save any change in item details or master password, Enpass waits for 5 secs and initiates an auto-sync.
Time Stamps Enpass keeps you informed about the latest successful data sync by updating Last Synchronized time stamps.
Note
Time taken in completion of a sync process depends on the data size, i.e, the no. of items and attachments in Enpass.
• Any changes in settings are not synced to cloud (except for the master password).
Backup and Restore Enpass lets you take manual backups of your Enpass data and restore them.
Taking backup
• You can manually take backup of a specific vault, or of whole Enpass data from File under ≡ menu from Tool bar → Backup All Vaults → Select file location → Save. The backups are also taken automatically at regular intervals to your device using autobackups.
50 Backup and Restore
Restoring data from Backup File
• Here are the steps to restore your data from the backup file:
Backup File On the Enpass welcome screen, tap on Backup File and select the file from the device. After selecting the file, you’ll be redirected to the Restore Screen where you can review the list of vaults to be restored in Enpass. Tap on Continue and you’ll be asked to enter the master password of the file. After entering the password, tap on Restore and your data will be restored in Enpass.
Note
If you’re restoring data in the secondary vault, you can only restore from a single vault file. You can restore the multiple vault file while creating the Primary vault only.
Enpass 5 Data Folder If you wish to restore Enpass 5 data, tap on the Enpass 5 Data Folder on the Welcome screen and select the file from the device. After selecting the file, you’ll be redirected to the Restore Screen where you can review the list of vaults to be restored in Enpass. Tap on Continue and you’ll be asked to enter the master password of the file. After entering the password, tap on Restore and your data will be restored in Enpass.
51 Backup and Restore
Restore from Cloud Following steps review the process of restoring from cloud:
• Select your cloud from the list. You will be re-directed to the authentication screen of that cloud. Enter your credentials and grant permissions to Enpass to continue with the sync process.
52 Backup and Restore
• Your data will be synced successfully. Time stamps will also get updated.
53 Using Password Generator
Note
Only one vault can be synced with one cloud account at a time. You can not sync multiple vaults with one cloud account. However, you can use multiple accounts of the same cloud, e.g., Dropbox to sync multiple vaults.
Using Password Generator Enpass has a built-in password generator to help you in creating unique and robust passwords whenever you need.
Generating Passwords You can generate password from Edit page of any item by clicking the Generate button right next to password field, or you can go to the toolbar and click on Generator icon.
The password’s complexity can be altered using the various controls provided on generator. You can create pronounceable as well as random passwords.
Pronounceable passwords Pronounceable passwords are created with Diceware methodology using 14400 English dictionary words. You can set the number of words, include the uppercase, digits, and symbols as separators (dollar, hyphen, comma, space, period, underscore or hash).
54 Using Password Generator
Random passwords While generating Random passwords, you can decide the total length of the password, the number of minimum or exactly uppercase, digits, and symbols. You can also specify specific symbols you wish to include while generating passwords.
55 Using Password Generator
Similarly, you can also exclude symbols while generating passwords.
If the option of Ambiguous Characters is off, Enpass will not include following letters in your password: 1 (one), l (small L) and I (eye); O (oh) and 0 (zero).
Note
Enpass uses zxcbvn algorithm to give you a realistic estimation of password strength.
56 Using Password Generator
Password History Enpass keeps a record of the passwords that you used, along with their respective timestamps. This feature is especially useful when you have to change a website’s password using the Enpass password generator.
Password history of an item From the detail screen of your item, Right Click on the password field and click on the History in the context menu. You’ll see the history of password changed. You can also copy the password by clicking on the password and then hitting the COPY button.
History of all the passwords You can check the history of all the passwords created using Enpass password generator by following these steps:
• Open the password generator → click on the options menu (3-dots) → History. A list of all the passwords generated using password generator will appear.
Password strength Entropy is a measure of password strength. Enpass uses Zxcvbn for calculation of entropy of random passwords. More details about zxcvbn are here. If a password is pronounceable, Enpass calculate both Zxcvbn and Diceware entropy and least of them will be used to show strength. Strength meter is calibrated for following corresponding entropy to display values.
Entropy Strength <35 Very poor
57 Share
35-50 Weak 50-70 Average 70-100 Good >100 Excellent
Share Here you’ll learn about how to share an item with others and how the recipient can add the shared item into his Enpass.
Sharing From Enpass you can share any item with others in the following two ways:
1. Normal sharing 2. Encrypted with Pre-shared Key In both ways, a single item at a time can be shared outside Enpass through a medium of your choice; be it, e-mail, Whatsapp, Messages etc.
Normal sharing This is the regular way of sharing where the fields of shared item are visible in plain text. Along with that the data of selected fields get appended in message in the form of BASE64 encoded URL, which is also encrypted with a fixed pre-defined key. Sharing an item in plain text format is not considered secure as it can easily be read by anyone who gets the hand on it.
• Open the item which you want to share. Tap on the options menu (3-dots) > Tap on share. An alert with a warning message will appear, tap on I Understand > Choose the fields which you want to share > Tap on Share Button > Choose the medium to share your item, and finally you can share the item.
58 Share
Warning
Plain text poses a security threat, in case of sensitive data. Sharing private data in plain text should be avoided unless it’s urgency.
Encrypted with Pre-shared Key This way you can encrypt any item with a passphrase (call it, Pre-Shared Key) before sharing it with others. The recipient can access the shared item only by providing the correct PSK. It’s a secure way of sharing items with other Enpass users. You first need to create a pre-shared key (PSK) for the intended recipient from the advanced settings of Enpass, and then you’ll see an option to encrypt the item with PSK while sharing.
Note
It is recommended to share the PSK with the recipient through a medium different than the one used for sharing the encrypted item.
To share an encrypted item:
59 Share
• Open the item which you want to share. • Tap on the ■ menu > Select Share. An alert with a warning message will appear. • Choose the fields which you want to share. Enable the option Encrypt with PSK. • Now you can select the name of recipient for which you created the PSK in advanced settings. • Tap on Share, and Choose the medium through which you want to share your item.
Attention!
• Always use a secure channel/medium for sharing. i.e., No one must listen in on or temper with the medium. • Double check that you are sending it to the correct person. • Delete the shared text after being sent and ask the recipient to delete the same as well after importing the item in their Enpass database.
Adding a shared item A shared item can be added to Enpass by directly opening the shared link or by copying that to the clipboard.
Adding by opening link If the shared item (in scrambled form) is detected as a link, directly clicking that link will open the installed Enpass application and ask you to add the shared item.
60 Share
Warning
Sometimes the shared URL is not detected, and Enpass fails to import the shared item with an error message. In that case, you should try to add that item by another way, i.e. copying the whole link on the clipboard and open the Enpass manually.
If the shared item is encrypted with a PSK, you’ll be asked to enter the PSK right before adding the item to Enpass.
Note
Attachments in the shared item can be added to Enpass irrespective of PSK encryption on the item.
Adding through clipboard
• Copy the whole shared link on clipboard. • When you come to the main screen (with the data on clipboard) of Enpass, click + button and select Add item from clipboard. You will be asked to add the item to the database.
Note
You can also enable the option from Enpass Settings to let Enpass automatically read the clipboard. If enabled, Enpass will automatically read the clipboard while entering the foreground to check for any shared Enpass item.
If the shared item is encrypted with a PSK, you’ll be asked to enter the PSK right before adding the item to Enpass.
61 Checking Password Health
Note
Attachments in the shared item will only be added to Enpass if the item is encrypted with a PSK. Otherwise, only the fields will be added.
Share Attachment You can share each attachment via email or by using other apps on your device by following these simple steps.
• Go to the detail screen of the item where you’ve stored the attachment.
• Click on the attachment you want to share. You will be provided with the preview of the attachment. • Click on the share button and you’ll be provided with the list of sharing apps. Select the one you want to share the attachment with, and done.
Important
You must share the attachments using the reliable sources to avoid the data breach.
Checking Password Health You can check the health of saved passwords using Audit. Audit tells you about data breaches, compromised passwords, and potential security problems with the items you have saved in Enpass. It keeps you on top of security as you don’t need to keep a check on each item.
62 Checking Password Health
Audit highlights the security concerns and sorts them into separate categories so you can identify the affected passwords. If any of your items require action, you’ll see an alert at the top of the item listed in Audit.
Websites Under Website section, you can see all the accounts saved in Enpass whose websites have suffered data breaches in the past along with the list of login items supporting Two-Factor authentication.
Breached Here, you will see the list of the logins for those websites where a security breach has been reported, and you haven’t changed your password since the breach. To check for breached accounts in Enpass, go to Audit > Tap on Breached. For all such items, you will see a warning at the top of the item’s details page until you change the password.
Caution!
We recommend that you immediately change the passwords for accounts that are listed under Breached.
2FA Supported Here, you can see the list of accounts for websites that support two-factor authentication but don’t have a one-time password saved in Enpass. You can go through the list and choose not to save the one-time codes for those logins in Enpass where you’re using any other method like call, email, or text for second-factor authentication. To check for 2FA compatible logins in Enpass, go to Audit > Tap on 2FA Supported. You can see details for the item that supports 2FA authentication.
63 Checking Password Health
You can save One-time codes for the items in Enpass which have been listed under 2FA Supported to enhance account security.
Passwords Here you can view the list of items with compromised, weak, identical, and expired passwords.
Compromised Passwords Here, you will see the list of passwords that have appeared in data breaches. You might be unknowingly using such passwords that are available to attackers over the internet. We suggest changing the passwords of such accounts that are listed as Compromised. To check all the compromised passwords in Enpass, go to the Audit > Tap on Compromised. On tapping a particular item, you can see the details for that item.
For items with Compromised passwords, you will always see an alert at the top of item’s detail page prompting you to change the password.
Identical Passwords Using the same password in multiple online accounts is a bad practice and puts your accounts at risk. If any one of these accounts is compromised, all you other accounts are at risk. To check all the identical passwords, go to Audit > tap on Identical. Tapping on a particular item will take you to its details.
Weak Passwords Weak passwords are those which can be easily guessed, or discovered by people who are not supposed to know them. They consist of most common passwords such as personal infomation like birthday dates, family members’ anniversary, etc.
64 Settings Overview
To check all the weak passwords, go to Audit > tap on Weak. You can check the details of an individual item by tapping it.
Expired Items Here, you will see list of items that either have expired passwords, or credit cards that have expired. To check for expired items in Enpass, go to Audit > Expired.
