If you’re a new user, you first need to set up master password to create your database.
Master password: Master password is used to encrypt all your data and is required to unlock
Enpass. Keep it strong and try to memorize it. It’s better to write it down and keep it in safe
place. Once forgot, we cannot help you recover it. For extra security, you can choose to use a
keyfile alongwith master password. For tips to create a strong password, you can have a look at
this blog post.
Using Keyfile with Master Password: Enpass gives you an extra option to use a Keyfile with
your master password. You can choose to create Keyfile from the Advanced Options presented
on the same screen of setting up master password. The purpose of Keyfile is to add second factor
in unlocking Enpass. The text from Keyfile gets appended to password and together they are
used to encrypt your data. Apparently, it is also required to unlock Enpass on all devices. So,
like Master password, make sure you never lose it, and save it in some secure place.
To set up a master password, click on I AM A NEW USER, and set a strong master password. After setting
up the password, you’ll see Quick Setup page from where you can manage some settings and start using
Enpass with some ready-to-use sample data.

Enpass lets you check your passwords against the list of breached passwords managed by Troy Hunt. It’s
a trustworthy procedure, ensuring that your passwords are safe in Enpass and never sent to the internet.
Here’s how you can check your leaked password within Enpass-
Checking Single Password:
1. Right-click on the password field in the item → Select Check if Pwned from the options menu.
2. On the next screen, you’ll see a message to validate the operation. Click Continue.
3. You will now see the results.
Checking passwords in Entire Database:
1. Under the � menu from the tool bar, select Tools → Check for Pwned Passwords.
2. On the next screen, you’ll see a message to validate the operation. Click Continue.
3. You will now see the results.
Note: All the items that you’ve checked having pwned passwords get listed in the Weak passwords list
under Password Audit.
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.

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.
FIVE
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.
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.
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.
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.
28
Enpass-Desktop User Manual, Release 6.1.0
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. You’ll be
asked to authorize yourself by entering the master password of Enpass. After authorization, you can
see the password of the vault.

ENPASS ASSISTANT
Enpass Assistant is the main Enpass app in its minified form and can be invoked anytime from the system
tray in Windows & Linux, and from the status menu bar in macOS. Also, you can set a system-wide Hotkey
to summon Enpass at your command anytime you need.
Enpass assistant lets you do the basic functions like searching and viewing items, copying information,
generating passwords, etc. but it comes very handy while doing the autofill using browser extensions.

Enpass-Desktop User Manual, Release 6.1.0
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.
• 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 respon-
sible 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.
7.5.2 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.
EIGHT
SYNCING DATA
Enpass lets you sync your data with other devices through any of the supported clouds. Syncing across
Enpass is very secure as all your data is transmitted in encrypted format, and cryptography is always
performed locally on the device only.
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.
Sync creates an automatic back-up over the cloud. Hence, you can be reassured of data-restore, in case
of device-damage or theft.
Currently, Enpass supports syncing of data across devices through your own account on following clouds
where we do not store any of your data on our server.
• Dropbox
• Google Drive
• OneDrive
• iCloud
• Box
• WebDAV
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.
38
Enpass-Desktop User Manual, Release 6.1.0
Enpass lets you sync with any folder, accessible on your device. So this way, folder-sync works as an offline
Auto backup feature that takes backup of your data in any folder, as soon as you make changes.
• 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.
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).
NINE
Enpass lets you take manual backups of your Enpass data and restore them.
• You can manually take backup of a specific vault, or of whole Enpass data from File under � menu

PASSWORD GENERATOR
Enpass has a built-in password generator to help you in creating unique and robust passwords whenever you
need.
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.
44
Enpass-Desktop User Manual, Release 6.1.0
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 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).
While generating Random passwords, you can decide the total length of the password, the number of
minimum or exactly uppercase, digits, and symbols. Also, you can specify the symbols you want to exclude
while generating the password.
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.
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
35-50 Weak
50-70 Average
70-100 Good
>100 Excellent
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.
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.
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.

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.
11.1 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.
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.
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.
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.

11.1. Sharing 50
Enpass-Desktop User Manual, Release 6.1.0
Note: It is recommended to share the PSK with the recipient through a medium different than the one
used for sharing the encrypted 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.
11.1. Sharing 51
Enpass-Desktop User Manual, Release 6.1.0
A shared item can be added to Enpass by directly opening the shared link or by copying that to the clipboard.
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.
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 will only be added to Enpass if the item is encrypted with a PSK.
Otherwise, only the fields will be added.
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.
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.
TWELVE
PASSWORD AUDIT
Password Audit in Enpass is a local scanning process to look for weak, identical, expiring and old pass-
words, and categorizes them accordingly. It helps you keep a regular check on your passwords to avoid any
compromise in data security and last moment rush to change expired passwords.
• To check all the weak passwords in Enpass, go to the sidebar > Password Audit and tap on Weak.
Note: Passwords those found as pwned will also be listed there as weak. Please note that you need
to manually check for pwned passwords as Enpass will not itself connect to haveibeenpwned.com to check
pwnage of your passwords.
Tip: Enpass lets you mark the items which you want to exclude from Password audit. the password field
of the item.
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. Password Audit finds all such
items having identical passwords. You can change them to strong and unique passwords using the built-in
password generator of Enpass.
• To check all the identical passwords in Enpass, go to the sidebar > Password Audit and tap on
Identical. You can now see the list containing all the items having matching passwords. All such items
will be separated by list headers mentioning first two letters of password and count of such items.
Password Audit in Enpass also categorizes your passwords based on their age in Enpass. They are categorized
as
• 3+ years old
• 1-3 years old
56
Enpass-Desktop User Manual, Release 6.1.0
