I won't preach to you about which system is more secure (they all use 256-bit AES Encryption, at least LastPass uses a Password-Based Key Derivation Function (PBKDF2)), but I think for some users that ability to store the file yourself is important. While I was concerned that installing Enpass on multiple devices would require jumping through hoops, the experience was fluid, precise, and - most importantly - easy. The file automatically syncs whenever you make changes, and when you set up the app for the first time on a new computer and it grabs the file you'll have to use the master password to decrypt it. Options include Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, or WebDAV/ownCloud. Everyone encrypts it for you, but LastPass hosts your file on their servers while Enpass does not.Įnpass, instead, lets you keep the file locally, or you can store it encrypted on your own cloud. That file is open, so please take the necessary precautions to delete (and preferably wipe) that master file after you have imported the information! Enpass is localįor some users, the big worry over having a master vault with all of your passwords is where that information is stored. *Remember, when you are exporting and importing your data is not encrypted on your PC. I was actually surprised that this was that easy to do as I have had difficulties with 1Password in the past. Extension support for Edge is almost hereįor myself, this was the biggest hurdle in changing to alternative password managers. But now I can use my face, iris or fingerprint? Yes, please. My master password is around 20 digits long and typing it in each time is a challenge unto itself. Well, Enpass has had Windows Hello support for a while now and last night it was updated so that you can use it as the primary login method on Mobile (On the desktop, you still need your master password for initial login, but when minimized you can use Hello). We've seen it with 8zip and Fenice for Twitter, but where I want to see it is banking and security apps like LastPass. Once you start using your face, iris, or fingerprint to log into Window 10 you want that feature in apps too Windows Hello allows developers to do exactly that. I'm just saying I'm all in with Windows Hello, the biometric authentication system for Windows 10. I have a Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, a Lumia 950, a Lumia 950 XL, Intel RealSense camera, and a few laptops/tablets that have built-in fingerprint readers.
