ctrl_alt_pasta 1 Report post Posted April 12, 2017 After seeing a tweet from someone able to get a master password from a memory dump on Linux, I tried it my self and was able to get a password from a locked database. This is on Windows 10 running creators update. Here is a screenshot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikram Dabas 66 Report post Posted April 13, 2017 Hi @ctrl_alt_pasta Thanks for writing in. We are aware of this issue, and are on it to fix it very soon. When talking from the angle of severity of this issue it can be treated as a low severity for a normal user. Because to see a master password from core-dump, one need to have control over the system, and someone having that level of privilege (equivalent to admin rights), can circumvent every protection of any password manager by getting your master password through other means like key logging, replacing the whole binary with a fake one, etc. Eventually, a password manager can not offer that much security on a tampered or frail PC. But, I am not saying that we are not careful about the security of your data and master password. We are very concerned about it and a fix will be rolled out very soon. And as we've stated earlier, we are on path to refactor Enpass to make it more convenient with sturdiest level of security. Meanwhile, we request our beloved users to please bear with us.
