Enpass review: Password management for a lifetime

Password managers have joined the list of essential software that we need to use every day to stay safe and healthy when we deal with all the connections and accounts we have in the modern digital world. Enpass has been a good time for a long time, offering multiplatform support, many features and some interesting subscription options. We put him to the test to see how he behaves in the ultra-competitive world of password management.

Software and features

• Unlimited devices and passwords
• Automatic filling connection details
• Choose where you store data

Enpass follows the path well followed by the majority of password managers with regard to design and features. Once you have configured a free account to test the service, you will have to decide where you store the password vault, because Enpass does not keep this on its own servers.

There are normal cloud storage options – ICOULD, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc., and you can store everything on your phone or laptop if you prefer. The safe is secure with a master password you create, to prevent hackers from stealing the information, but you can use biometrics (Face ID and Touch ID) to quickly access your safe without needing to enter the password each time.

With this, you can import your existing passwords from other password managers by downloading a .csv file and placing it in your safe. Details of the connection of your account are listed in alphabetical order in the ENPASS application, and you can quickly search for elements by typing their names. The free level that you start by limiting the connection elements of the number to only 25, so it is really useful only to a trial, unless you connect to very few sites. The upgrade to the premium level (which is very affordable) grants you unlimited articles on all your devices.

There is a practical automatic filling function that you can trigger by pressing the password option that appears on your iPhone when you connect to sites, this then briefly takes you to the EnPass application and recovers the details of the account which he then uses to self-populater the fields. It is not as transparent as with certain other password managers on the market, but it works well and was consistent – which is the most important thing.

These are not only the passwords you can store in Enpass, because there are also sections for payment cards, ID, Passkeys, secure tickets, licenses as well as travel tickets and some other options.

Enpass is available on iOS, macOS, Apple Watch, Android and Windows, so whatever the combination of devices you or your family, it must be covered.

Safety and encryption

• Crying AES 256 bits
• Passkekey Support
• Zero knowledge security

The security protocols in place with Enpass are again those that we see in most password managers these days. The service uses 256 -bit end -to -end encryption, so your data will be locked even when stored on cloud servers.

As mentioned above, you can choose where you keep your data, and there is security that the encryption key is partly derived from your master password, that Enpass does not know, so no one in the company can open your safe.

Of course, this also means that if you forget your password, you are a little stuck, because customer support cannot unlock your safe. This is why it is essential that you use something you will remember, but not just an easy combination of pet names and previous addresses. It may seem intimidating, but as you only have to remember a password from now on, it is a little easier to get it in your head.

Enpass also offers a security audit, which analyzes the security force of your password and warns of any violation which has been reported from other sites, plus the passwords that you must modify. As you can imagine, there is an integrated password generator that can be used to create new instantly, with parameters for alpha-digital characters as well as symbols that can be combined in accordance with site or account requirements.

Price and availability

The free level of ENPASS is quite limited with its restriction of 25 connection articles, but the upgrade to the unlimited premium level is not expensive, because it costs only $ 23.99 / £ 19.49 per year, although at the time of writing service offers the first year for only $ 9.59 / £ 7.79, which is an excellent price.

If you prefer to abandon the annual subscriptions, there is an option for life available that gives you access to the Premium subscription as long as you or ENPASS last. It costs $ 99.99 / £ 92.99 as punctual payment, but the agreement that operated at the time of the editorial staff of the $ 89.99 / £ 83.69.

If you want the basics of password management to be covered, Enpass has everything you need, and if the special offer is in accordance, it is at a very competitive price. The option of storing your safe where you wish is a good option for those who prefer to control the location of their data, while the range of available features makes a solid tool to manage your accounts and strengthen their safety.
