Hi all,
For about a week now, the Safari browser extension stopped working, displaying only a ‘Enpass Connection Error’.
It works fine with the Chrome extension and the taskbar helper.
When doing a tcpdump (sudo tcpdump -i lo0 portrange 10391-10395 -nnn) on the loopback interface I can see traffic from the taskbar helper or the Chrome extension to Enpass. However, I don't even see a connection attempt from the Safari extension.
Here are the relevant open sockets (I am using Dropbox sync, hence the first connection):
% sudo lsof -i -n -P|grep Enpass Enpass 949 bcollet 29u IPv6 0x227f399a5755c0cf 0t0 TCP [MY IPV6 GOES THERE]:49721->[2620:100:6022:7::a27d:4207]:443 (ESTABLISHED) Enpass 949 bcollet 34u IPv4 0x227f399a5dc33e77 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:10391 (LISTEN) Enpass 949 bcollet 40u IPv4 0x227f399a5dc32bb7 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:10391->127.0.0.1:49484 (ESTABLISHED) EnpassHel 954 bcollet 11u IPv4 0x227f399a68114bb7 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:49484->127.0.0.1:10391 (ESTABLISHED)
I tried to reinstall the browser extension and Enpass. I restarted (and updated) my Mac. I still have the issue.
In the extension's source code I saw that it's using ‘localhost’ to contact Enpass, and as Enpass is only listening in IPv4 I tried to comment the IPv6 localhost entry in my ‘/etc/hosts’ file, to no avail (it should fall back to IPv4 anyway, but I am starting to consider sacrificing chickens and drawing pentacles on the floor).
Here are the versions I am using:
- Safari Version 11.0.3 (13604.5.6), then updated to 11.1 (13605.1.33.1.2)
- Browser Extension 5.5.2
- Enpass 5.6.3 (138)
- macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 (17D102), then updated to 10.13.4 (17E199)
Any help is appreciated,
Cheers!
Hey Ben!
I have experienced the same issue and actually, I was just able to solve it...My situation: Enpass Safari Extension Connection Error
- I had a 2015 MacBook Pro running with macOS High Sierra. Enpass used to work fine with all browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome)
-
A couple of weeks ago I switched to a 2017 MacBook Pro via Migration Assistant. On my new MBP, Enpass still worked with Firefox and Chrome, but did not work with Safari!
Always displayed this dumb connection error...
Now here's what I did:
- Uninstall and re-install Enpass for macOS (tried both the App-Store and the Enpass-Website versions)
- Uninstall and re-install Enpass Safari Extension (tried both the Safari Extensions Gallery and the Enpass Website versions)
- Install Enpass for macOS and Enpass Safari Extension DEBUG versions sent to me from Enpass support
And all of this didn't change a thing!
Here's what solved my issue:
After reinstalling Enpass and the respective safari extension about a million times, I decided to re-install macOS without erasing my data.
A reinstallation of macOS is the only way to re-install Safari.How I did this:
- Make a Time Machine backup to an external HDD or NAS.
- Go to Mac App Store, search for High Sierra and download it (around 5 GB)
- When the download is finished, the High Sierra Installer pops up
-
Simply re-install macOS this way (this does not affect your data!)
-> and then be happy things are working well again!
And - voilà - this solved the problem for me.
Now everything is working well!
Good luck,

Hey guys!

Hey Ugomiller,
Enpass Browser extensions only work when the main application is active in the background.
Should you have a problem with the Enpass Safari Extension, I recommend first activating browser extensions (as you did according to your screenshot).I had the following situation:
Browser extension worked fine in Firefox and Chrome. But not with Safari: it always displayed a connection error.After reinstalling Enpass and the respective safari extension about a million times, I decided to re-install macOS without erasing my data.

Enpass plugin in Safari 11.1 doesn't work

Salut Ugo,
Non, je suis Allemand et j'ai oublié presque tout ce que j'ai appris à l'école sauf quelques mots...
Et c'est pour ca que je vais continuer en Anglais maintenant, c'est plus facile
The reason why l use the Safari Extension is the AutoFill function. When I get on a page with a login, I'll simply click the Enpass button in Safari, it will propose the respective login details and with a double-click on these details, it will fill in the login form.
