Enpass is giving users one last gift for the holiday season, delivering its major version 6 update for everyone after a lengthy bit of beta testing. A load of new features are tagging along in Enpass 6, including support for multiple vaults, unlocking with Windows Hello, a new dark theme on desktop, custom categories, and much more.
The biggest highlight here is likely to be the addition of multiple vaults. Now you can create separate vaults for things like personal and work data, allowing each to be shared with your family or team through syncing to a common cloud account. Combined with new custom categories and templates, you can now keep all of your passwords and other data organized in whatever way you see fit.
For Windows users in particular, Enpass 6 adds in support for Windows Hello, which lets you opt for facial or fingerprint recognition over using your master password to log in. You'll still have to use your master password any time you start the app for the first time, but this is a handy addition for those who have a Windows Hello-compatible PC. Also new in Windows is a dark theme, which should help keep your eye strain to a minimum.
There's a whole lot more on top of the major highlights. Here's a full recap of what's new in Enpass 6:
- Multiple vaults: This is one of the most demanded features in Enpass that lets you have separate vaults for better segregation of your data. You can create multiple vaults for personal and work data and share with your family or team members by syncing through a common cloud account. However, each of your vaults requires a different cloud account to sync with.
- To create a new vault, go to app Settings > Vaults > Tap the '+' icon, and follow the instructions to create your new vault.
- Custom categories and templates: The desktop version of Enpass 6 now allows you to create your own custom Categories and Templates. This way you can manage your data the way you like.
- Unlock with Windows Hello: You can now unlock Enpass with the Windows Hello. Master password will be required at every fresh start of the app.
- Dark theme: Enpass comes with the dark theme support for Windows. You need to restart the app after switching the theme from Enpass Settings for the changes to take effect.
- Sync through iCloud: Now the support for iCloud sync is not limited to Apple devices only, you can use it on other platforms as well.
- Favicons: Enpass 6 can automatically download and set the icon associated with the particular website or URL saved in an item. You can enable it from the Enpass Settings > Customize > Enable Use Favicon.
- Custom icons: We've also introduced a much-requested feature; Custom icons, which allows you to set any image as an icon for any item in Enpass.
- Secure sharing: This version brings secured sharing where you can share an item encrypted with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). You can create PSK from the Advanced Settings of Enpass after which an additional option to Encrypt with PSK will appear while sharing the item. You need to share the PSK with the intended recipient which he needs to enter while importing the item.
- Keyfile support: You can now additionally use a Keyfile along with the master password to log into Enpass. Only the desktop versions allow you to generate keyfile while setting up the master password.
- Trash: Trash is here. From now onwards, every item you delete will go in the Trash first from where you can recover or permanently delete it.
- Archive: You can archive the items which are no longer in use, but you don't want to delete them as well. The archived item won't appear in any search results.
- Sorting options: Added options to sort the list of items by Created Time, Modified Time, Recently Used and Frequently Used.
- Multi-line fields: Added a new field-type as multi-line field which allows you to save information in more than one line. You can make any field a multi-line field by changing its field type from the item edit page.
- Identity: We've introduced a new default category Identity to let you fill those long, tedious identity forms with a single click.
- Added localization support for Afrikaans, Malay, Croatian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Romanian, Slovak and Swedish.
