Error Message after the second time opening the password manager. First opening after installation and setup works but after the second time I receive always the the message wring password.

- tried all-ready to deinstall incl. libra and new install

- on the mobile device everything's works fine, so I didn`t forget my password

Any Ideas -> wrong Library in the OS

 

IOS Catalina and newest Version of Enpass

Hey @DanielKarthausen

Welcome to the forum!

If I have understood you correctly, you are getting the 'wrong password' error on you macOS, however, you can access all Enpass data on the iOS device using the same master password to unlock the app.

Let's try to troubleshoot this issue by restoring the Enpass data from your iOS device on which the master password is working fine.
1. Take the backup of iOS data on your desktop over the WiFi.
2. Delete Enpass thoroughly from your Mac. Also, delete the Enpass folder from Documents (which is the default location in case you are using the website version of Enpass). If you have ever changed the location to somewhere else, you need to delete it from there too. Now reinstall the Enpass app on the macOS and then restore the data from the cloud with which the Enpass data is synced on the iOS device.

If your master password is still not recognized please get back to us with the below details so that we can investigate further.

Exact Enpass versions on each device.
Cloud services are you using to sync the data.

Thanks!

Good day,

I have the same problem, but unfortunately no working iOs variant. I am 100% sure that I am using the correct password because I use it several times a day for several weeks. I've also tried to uninstall it with App Cleaner and searched the whole Mac for remains. Nevertheless, even older backups cannot be restored. I am 100% sure that I am entering the correct password.

I've tried everything I could find (uninstall including library and reinstall).

I have really strange issues with Enpass! In January I couldn’t get into Enpass. I was pretty sure that I entered the correct master password but it continues telling me that it is invalid. Now after some months I have admitted to myself that I lost the access to my passwords so I uninstalled the tool and set it up again. I deleted the Enpass files in the documents directory as well and only saved one backup file.

After fresh install I just gave it a try to load the backup file and enter the password and couldn't believe my eyes because the password was accepted. So what is more realistic - that I know the correct password 6 months after the last usage or the password was already correct in January? The password I had in mind was correct all the time!!

Some days later the tool tells me again that my password is incorrect :(
I did the same thing.. deleted the files in the documents directory, restart the tool until it tells me to add my mail address and select a backup file, entering master password and again - access. What is wrong with the tool? I will stop using it when these are the steps I need to do every days.

In January I might have updated the OS version shortly before the issues started.

Now I have: 
macOS Ventura, version 13.6
Chip: Apple M1 Pro
Enpass version: 6.11.0 (1677)

I am only using Enpass on one device.
