Question 1

How does Enpass handle data synchronization across multiple devices?

Accepted Answer

Enpass is an offline password manager, meaning your encrypted data never resides on our servers. For cross-device synchronization, you link your Enpass vault to your preferred third-party cloud service (e.g., iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, WebDAV). Enpass encrypts your data locally, then uploads the encrypted vault file to your chosen cloud storage, allowing other Enpass installations linked to the same cloud account to access and sync the encrypted data.

Question 2

What is the difference between the subscription and lifetime license options?

Accepted Answer

The subscription model provides ongoing access to all premium features, including future updates and priority support, for a recurring fee (monthly or annually). The lifetime license is a one-time purchase that grants you permanent access to the current premium features and all minor updates within that major version. Major version upgrades may require a separate purchase for lifetime license holders, whereas subscribers receive all updates automatically.

Question 3

Is my data truly offline, or does it touch Enpass servers at any point?

Accepted Answer

Your data is truly offline. Enpass employs a 'zero-knowledge' architecture, meaning all encryption and decryption of your vault data happens locally on your device. Your master password, which is the key to your vault, is never transmitted or stored anywhere outside your devices. Enpass servers are only used for license validation and providing updates, not for storing or processing your sensitive vault data.

Question 4

What happens if I forget my master password?

Accepted Answer

Due to Enpass's zero-knowledge, offline-first security model, there is no 'forgot password' or recovery mechanism managed by Enpass. If you forget your master password, your encrypted vault data becomes permanently inaccessible. It is crucial to choose a strong, memorable master password and consider writing it down and storing it securely in a physical location, separate from your devices.

Question 5

Can Enpass be used for secure password sharing within a team or organization?

Accepted Answer

While Enpass primarily focuses on individual offline security, it does offer 'Enpass Business' plans designed for teams. These plans allow for secure sharing of vaults and items among team members, with administrative controls for user management and access revocation. The underlying principle of local encryption and user-controlled sync remains, but with added features for collaborative credential management within an organizational context.
