About Cloud Storage Encryption

[Mohammed Anzil]

Hey Enpass Team,

I recently moved from Dashlane to Enpass and I used cloud sync and use Box.com for that.

My question is does the data saved on Box also encrypted?

Hi @Mohammed Anzil,

Welcome to the Enpass Community Forum.

First of all we are so excited to know that you have opted for Enpass over other Password Managers.

Yes, the cloud always contains a copy of the same encrypted data as your device. So first, a copy of your encrypted data is downloaded on your device, where it gets decrypted (locally) for real-time sync operation to merge changes. Afterward, it got encrypted again and uploaded back to the cloud.

In a nutshell, your cloud works only as a storage medium. No cryptographic operation (encryption or decryption) is performed there. Instead, all such procedures are performed locally on your device, and your data never leaves your machine in unencrypted format.

So somehow, if an attacker gains access to your Enpass data file, he finds it protected with your Master Password and thus making it unuseful for him. For more information about data security and help, please visit our website or send us a mail at support@enpass.io.
