A suggestion about the master password for the pc version

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am a Premium lifetime user of Enpass and it is my favorite password management software.

Currently with the pc version, I need to re-enter the master password every time I restart the OS to open Enpass, while the Android version can always use fingerprint/PIN for authentication, so why should I adopt different authentication strategies on different platforms? What is the basis of this consideration?
Because my master password is very complicated and the process of entering it after each reboot is very painful, which greatly reduces my frequency of using Enpass.
Could the choice be left to the user to decide whether to use Windows Hello/PIN or Master Password for authentication or for example, perform master password verification once a month in case the user forgets the master password? and of course, the master password method should be the default configuration for Enpass, which I think would have minimal impact on security since it's my personal computer and no one but me can No one but me can use it.

Hi @APremiumUser

We are glad to hear that you like using Enpass; thanks for all the support!

Enpass does support Full-Time Windows Hello, even when you restart your device. Whether the full-time Window Hello will work on any device totally depends on the Windows itself.

To determine the compatibility of the device to support Full-time Windows Hello (feature is only available with Enpass Store version), Enpass relies on this API provided by the Microsoft . It is the only way to distinguish whether the security keys are generated by a legit Hardware TPM. There is little Enpass can do in this case. Although for external TPM is available in the market we cannot ensure that they will support the given API.

If your system supports Full-time Hello unlock, you will see a similar message under Windows Hello -
