8 (or 58) reasons to recommend Enpass to your readers
Recommending Enpass gives readers an alternative to the central-server, cookie-cutter password managers that dominate the market.
Inherently stronger security
Enpass users choose their own safest storage location, adding several additional layers of multi-factor authentication.
Unlike other password managers, Enpass does not have a central server full of user data to attack, so any hacker hunting Enpass vaults would have to…
- Target each user personally
- AND know which cloud services they’ve chosen for their vaults
- AND discover the credentials to those cloud accounts
- AND get past each cloud account’s multi-factor authentication
- AND know each user’s Enpass master password
- (Plus there’s a Keyfile option for the tech-savvy)
- Users can also choose to store vaults locally and sync over Wi-Fi
- Recommend Enpass for readers who would feel safer having complete control over their password vaults.
Storage & syncing options include
- Every major cloud service — Enpass vaults take about a minute to set up on Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, or Box
- NextCloud and WebDAV
- Or completely offline (local or Wi-Fi sync)
- Recommend Enpass for readers who want a decentralized option for password management.
Unlimited separate vaults
- Keep a personal vault, work vaults, and vaults shared with a significant other or household
- Keep different vaults for different projects, and securely share them with project partners
- Help manage the vaults of elderly relatives, stored on their cloud accounts
- Recommend Enpass for readers who value flexibility.
Tons of customizability
- Customizable templates, categories, and nesting tags
- Customizable Items (add, remove, rearrange, and customize fields — including multi-line and sensitive fields)
- Customizable browser extension (auto-fill triggers and auto-save options, shortcuts, inline field pop-ups)
- System-wide access options (hotkeys, mini-window, show/hide system icons, autolock and clipboard timing)
