I'd be happy if there was a way to change the sync from wi-fi to iCloud without deleting the server copy of Enpass.

Exactly, and especially when the computer in question runs the Sync-Server. In my case, to update my iPad, I delete the app, reinstall, scan the QR code on the server and run Sync. It then works great, for maybe a few hours or a day. Then poof, Sync quits working.

If I delete Enpass from my iPad and reinstall it, it will sync over Wi-Fi for a day, but that's all. I want to switch from wi-fi sync to iCloud. I can do this quickly on my iPad but I cannot find the list of Sync locations on my Mac. Can somebody help me find that list, or must I delete Enpass from my Mac and reinstall? Thank you.

Thanks, but this doesn't work. My Privacy & Security settings are as shown above. I turned off and restarted the Wi-fi Sync Server on my Mac (OS 15.1.1) and then watched the Synchronizing icon for 10 minutes before it quit and showed this familiar message. Then, as I have done many times before, I deleted Enpass from my iPad (IOS 18.1.1) and reinstalled it. As expected, it instantly synchronized a test entry, and it will likely continue to sync for hours or even a day or two, before failing again. I have begun adding passwords to the new Apple Password Manager, as the Enpass issue is now over two years old. I will continue using Enpass as long as I don't add new entries. But I think it's only a matter of time before I abandon the app.

Hello, I am watching the screen of my iPad as I type this. 'Synchronizing...' was showing for about three minutes, and then changed to 'Couldn't connect to Wi-Fi Server. Make sure that server is running and you are connected to same network'. My iPad is on my desk, less than two feet from my Mac Mini. On the Mini's monitor, I am looking at Enpass v6.11.4, which I downloaded from your website. My iPad is also running v6.11.4, also from your website. I also have my wife's iPad. It is also running v6.11.4, downloaded from your website. It was showing 'Synchronizing...' for a few minutes and then changed to the same error message. If I delete the Enpass app from both iPads, then reinstall from your website, Sync will work just fine for a day or two, but that's it. My Mac Mini is new and using M2 Pro chip, and OS 15.1 My iPad Air is 5th gen. and running IOS 18.1 My wife's iPad mini is 6th gen and running IOS 17.6.1

Thank you. I had to delete the app and reinstall it over the weekend on two iPads after making two database changes. It will sync as it should for a short while but then fail again.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have rebooted both machines. Wi-fi sync worked immediately after deleting and reinstalling the app on my iPad. Today I added a new entry on my Mac. It did not sync, and now I'm getting the same error message: Sync Error. Couldn't connect to Wi-Fi Sync Server. Make sure that server is running and you are connected to the same network. There doesn't seem to be a firewall setting in IOS 18, and Enpass has full permission on my Mac's firewall. Since I haven't made any changes to either computers' setup, I don't see how it could sync after the reinstallation but not a few days later. It appears that I am not the only user experiencing this issue. Fortunately, I don't make changes often to Enpass, so it's not a big problem to delete and reinstall to my iPad after making a few changes. However, I would hesitate to recommend Enpass to others. Kind regards, David

I have been trying to get Wi-Fi Sync to work for a few years. The only way I can get it to work between my iPad and my Mac is to delete Enpass from my iPad, download from the App Store and scan the QR code. Then it will Sync for a few changes or additions to the password manager. But then it will fail to sync again. Both computers are on the same network, both are running the latest version of Enpass. Mac has just added a new Password Manager in OS Sequoia and IOS 18. I don't know if it's as secure as Enpass, but it might be worth looking into.

thank you, Gulshan Dogra, I see that, but it's been a moving target lately with two recent OS updates. I have upgraded both of my Macs to 10.14.6 and, if I can get them to sync again using either iCloud or Wi-Fi, I'm assuming that I won't need to upgrade again to keep Enpass working. I still have some 32 bit only software. Thank you again...David

I've been unable to sync my various Mac devices using iCloud Drive or Wi-Fi Sync because one of my Macs was running an old OS. So last week I found that I needed to upgrade the computer to OS Sierra. This morning I upgraded to Sierra and downloaded Enpass from the App Store and clicked Install. Guess what? Today, just one week later, the minimum OS is Mojave, 10.14.6. Will it be a newer OS next week? I like Enpass, but this a real pain, and I don't want to upgrade to a 64 bit OS.
