Roadmap for Enpass Development

[rps]

Hello,

You have a good product with a great opportunity for a self hosted password manager that the rest of the market has abandoned in favor of centralized cloud storage.

I think much of the frustration with your product shown here on the forums could be alleviated by defining a road map for your project with defined projects and bugs that are in development. This would help communicate to your customers that development is ongoing and provide insight to time lines.

It wouldn't take much to squash many of the UX bugs that currently make the product clunky to use and greatly improve the overall experience.

Please help us understand the direction that Enpass is going. Everyone is here to replace 1Password / LastPass and their cloud based systems, give us the assurance that this is a product worth getting behind.

Hi @rps

Welcome to the Enpass Forums.

I certainly understand your point. There is an active development effort underway for Enpass. In addition to tracking feature requests and bugs via our internal software, we also release new features/improvements in subsequent updates. It is always a pleasure to hear feedback from our users. Planning, feasibility checks, implementation, and testing are all necessary for developing a new feature or fixing a bug. In order to avoid giving inaccurate information, we are not able to provide an ETA or share any roadmap at the moment. When we add a new feature or fix a bug, we notify our users via email and forums. When a new version is released, you can also check our release notes to see what new features/bug fixes are included.

Hi Abhishek,

Thanks for your prompt reply, I appreciate that.

I would encourage the Enpass team to share as much as possible for any upcoming release information. A password manager is a critical component for daily workflow for me and many of your users. I am in a position where it is just difficult and clunky enough to use Enpass, that without guidance on future update cycle. I'm tempted to switch back to my old password manager until this becomes a more viable option.

Again, this is mostly related to UX bugs, not future feature development. The pieces are there, they just need to work better.

Thanks again.

I saw several posts from people complaining that Enpass is pratically dead, and I hate to say this but it's true; new features aren't practically added and I created two ticket for feature requests and those ticked are gone!

 

I am seriously thinking moving to another password manager as Enpass is gone!

I also think that the project, I'm not saying it's dead, but it's greatly slowed down, I think it has entered a phase of maintenance only, bug fixes only, just look at the release-notes, the last real update with new features was the 6.7.4, then only improvements nothing big.

I think they invested a lot of time in compliant with the certifications (ISO27001:2013).

Next July my premium plan will expire, and before renewing it I'm evaluating alternatives, in particular bitwarden, always self hosted, but unlike enpass and very open to the community there is a road map.

I strongly hope I'm wrong and that the project is alive instead.

Yeah, I also think that Enpass is in a maintenance only phase because the latest updates with a few new features was launched last september.

And beside this for them to just introduce support for TOTP codes long than 100 characters took two months and the latest Enpass version 6.8.X is verry buggy; it crashes often, and it's too slow.

Yes, even just getting a solid bug update release out would be a great step forward!

With classic 1password browser support coming to an end in the near future, now is the perfect time to show that Enpass is a true replacement and a polished product.

Enpass has golden opportunity to take over 1Password past customers who want local storage + license model not subscription but Enpass development seems very stale and there is a lot of polishing that needs to be done
