14 DAY TRIAL // Enpass is a simple-to-use application that can store important information in secure databases to restrict the access of unauthorized users. Packed in an intuitive and attractive UI, the tool provides support for an extensive range of data types and third-party password managers to import content from, not to mention compatibility with other platforms aside Windows, including mobile. Everything is accessible with one master password.
Installation and interface
The setup procedure is fast and simple.
Once launched, Enpass pops up a welcome screen that allows users to create a new Enpass keychain or restore data from an existing Enpass/Walletx file, Dropbox or OneDrive. A master password must be assigned in this stage.
The main application window has a simple and elegant look with a neatly organized structure. Data is broken down into separate categories, so users may view all items, favorites, login details, credit card or finance information, computer-based data, license info, passwords, secure notes, travel documents, along with miscellaneous data, while new groups with custom names can be put together.
Login credentials
New items can be added to the database by providing Enpass with details related to the category type. When it comes to login data, the tool offers a few templates with forms for popular web services, namely AIM, Amazon, Baidu, Blogger, Dropbox, eBay, Evernote, Facebook, Foursquare, Google, LinkedIn, MSN/Live, Paypal, Pinterest, Skype, Starbucks, Twitter, Vimeo, WordPress, Yahoo! and Yelp.
The default mode can be applied instead, which is basically the same form with blank fields. Regardless of the option chosen, users can fill out details pertaining to the username, password, URL and comments (if any), as well as add more fields for text, numbers, passwords, PINs, dates, email addresses, links, phone numbers, and extra usernames.
Credit cards and financial information
Those who want to entrust Enpass with their credit cards may fill in information for American Express, Cirrus, Diners Club, Maestro, Mastercard or Visa. Similar to the login credentials, users can pick the default mode instead to write data from scratch when it comes to the card holder, number, CVC, PIN, expiration date, credit and withdrawal limit, interest rate, bank, website, user name, login password, number to call if lost, and note.
Apart from credit cards, financial data can be added to the Enpass database to keep track of a bank account, insurance policy, loan or mortgage, stock investment, or others.
Each template type has its own set of fields that can be filled out. For example, when it comes to bank accounts, users can indicate the owner, type, account number, bank name, routing number, branch name, code, address and phone number, SWIFT, IBAN, debit card number, card PIN and expiration date, CVV, customer ID, website, username, and more.
Computer, license and password data
It is possible to add email and FTP accounts, instant messaging and Internet provider data, along with server, web hosting and wireless router details, in addition to custom settings. License templates are available for driving, outdoor activities and software.
Creating entries only with passwords is a straightforward task, since it is only necessary to point out the login, password, access and note, while extra custom fields are optional.
Other kinds of information
Users may also fill the Enpass database with secure notes, travel documents (flight detail, frequent flyer, hotel reservation, password, travelling visa, or other) together with miscellaneous data like addresses, calling cards, cell phone info, combination locks, contacts, ID, ISIC or ITIC cards, social security numbers, voice mails, and so on.
Manage, secure and synchronize information
The content of any of these entries can be edited at any time, deleted, duplicated, added to the favorites list or a custom folder for quick access, as well as shared via email. It may also be exported to text documents.
Enpass supports multiple providers when it comes to importing information, thus allowing users to migrate from 1Password, DataVault Password Manager, eWallet, Handy Safe, KeePass, KeePassX, Keeper, LastPass, Moxier Wallet, mSecure, oneSafe, Password Keeper, Password Safe, SafeWallet, SPB Waller, SplashID, Roboform login, identities and SafeNotes (Windows, Mac), along with generic files (CSV format).
The entire database with all entries can be backed up to file (.walletx format) and restored in case of data loss. Last but not least, it can be synchronized with other devices by copying all data to a Dropbox or OneDrive account that's also available on those devices.
Program preferences
Enpass automatically locks itself when it's not active (e.g. when the user switches to another application). However, it can be conditioned by a time interval instead, ranging from 1 minute and 30 minutes. Alternatively, it can be disabled. To enhance security, the software app can be asked to regularly empty the Clipboard.
It can be minimized to the system tray area so it doesn't interrupt regular user activity on the PC while providing quick access to its database. Any default categories may be hidden from the list, all data can be erased on the current device (the cloud remains safe), while the master password can be changed.
The Good
When it comes to Windows, Enpass is compatible with XP (SP3), Vista, 7 and 8/8.1.
Numerous third-party apps are supported for importing files into Enpass: 1Password, DataVault Password Manager, eWallet, Handy Safe, KeePass, KeePassX, Keeper, LastPass, Moxier Wallet, mSecure, oneSafe, Password Keeper, Password Safe, SafeWallet, SPB Waller, SplashID, Roboform login, identities and SafeNotes (Windows, Mac), along with generic files (CSV format).
Enpass prompts users for the master password not just at program startup, but also when switching from its window to another application and then switching back. It records all steps taken until that time, so it's not necessary to redo everything.
The tool can be used without an active Internet connection, as it will simply store data locally and synchronize it to the Dropbox or OneDrive account as soon as it establishes network connection.
It is very simple to use, free, and it is wrapped in an elegant and well-structured interface.
The Bad
Enpass is not built to automatically detect login forms while browsing the web to offer to save user credentials to its database. Likewise, it does not support an autofiller for forms.
The app defends database contents from unauthorized users via a password. However, it does not advise them to assign a strong key by providing a password-strength rating based on key length and character type complexity (for example, "123" is accepted).
It does not feature a random password generator with the options to pick the character type (uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols).
The greatest advantage of this application is that it can synchronize data between computers and mobile devices. However, the mobile licenses are not free. The unregistered edition stores up to 10 items, and the pro version can be purchased for $9.99 / €7.96 (lifetime availability).
On top of that, we have noticed that Google Drive is supported on Android but not on Windows.
