Location of Critical Enpass Files (Mac)

[amaloney]

Using Mac OS 10 and iCloud.

What are the critical Enpass files and where are they stored?
eg: database, backups, preferences

How can I find them?

What files can I discard/delete without losing data/passwords?
eg: I have multiple similar to « 2020-01-23-1579827849-1_vault-402_items-auto.enpassbackup»

Hi @amaloney,

Thanks for using Enpass and writing to us.

Please have a look at below mentioned data location:

I. App downloaded from Mac App store: data documents backups

• Go to User --> Library Folder--> Containers --> in.sinew.Enpass-Desktop --> data --> documents --> backups.

NOTE: Usually Library folder is hidden, so make it visible by pressing and holding the Option key.

II. App downloaded from Enpass website:

• Go to User Documents --> Enpass folder.

Hope this helps!

@Pratyush Sharma. Thanks for the prompt reply.

Using Mac OS 10

(1) I probably have downloaded from both the web site and the Apple store. If so what do you recommend that I do?

(2) I have found the following files/directories.
Do I discard any of them?
Are there others I should look for?

In ~Library/Containers/
     in.sinew.Enpass-Desktop
     in.sinew.Enpass-Desktop.App (has a forbidden sign on it)
     in.sinew.Enpass-Desktop.App.Safari.Extension
     in.sinew.Enpass-Desktop.App.Safari
     in.sinew.Enpass-Launcher

iCloud/Documents-Enpass

/Applications/Enpass.app (version 6.5.2)

We always recommend using the store version of the Enpass app.

The details you had shared with us are the files of Enpass app only.

@Pratyush Sharma

(1) I have version 6.5.2 (726) installed in /Applications
Is it the App Store version?

(2) Do I need to keep all of the files I have listed when I use the App Store version?

(3) I made a mistake in my listing.
I wrote ~iCloud/Documents-Enpass
It should be ~iCloud/Documents/Enpass

Is that file from the Web version?
If so, do I discard it?

 

Thanks again

Yes. Discarding/deleting any of these files can create many issue.

No. This is the sync file which is created because you have synced the Enpass data with iCloud.

Hope this clears!
