add a key-file to existing tresor

[thowa]

Hi,

I'm using Enpass on iPhone and Windows 10. Both are synced via NextCloud.

To increase the security I would like to add a key-file.
Is it possible at all, to add a key file to an existing tresor?

If not, how can I copy all my data to a new tresor that is based on a key-file?

 

Thanks,

Thorsten

Hi @thowa

For an additional layer of security when unlocking Enpass, you can create a Keyfile on your computer, which can then be added to your mobile devices by scanning a QR code that will appear on your computer screen. Please refer to this link on how to do so.

Hi Abhishek,

 

My question is, how can I move the existing passwords from a vault that is not protected by a key file to a new vault, that is protected by a keyfile.

Or, can I increase the security be enhancing my existing vault (which is currently not protected by keyfile) with a keyfile afterwards?

 

Thanks, Thorsten

Hi @thowa

I completely understand your point.

Adding a Keyfile to an already existing vault -

Your computer can create a Keyfile that can be added to your mobile device with the help of a QR code that appears on your screen. Kindly refer to the steps in this link to add Keyfile to an already existing Vault.

Moving Items from a vault without a keyfile to a vault secured with a keyfile -

This can be achieved by exporting your vault in .json format (Enpass Desktop app Menu (Hamburger Icon) -> File -> Export) which isn't protected by a keyfile and then importing the data (Enpass Desktop app Menu (Hamburger Icon) -> File -> Import) in the vault which is protected by the keyfile.
