Alex80 Posted April 12, 2022 Report Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Hi, since a few weeks I have this issue that enpass shows up multiple times in the dock on startup of my mac. It doesn't happen always, but often. Sometimes "only" 2 instances, sometimes many (see attached screenshot). This happens before I start any other application. I'm on macOS Monterey 12.3.1. enpass 6.7.4 (938) from the app store enpass is set to automatically run on startup in the settings.edit: I don't know if this makes a difference, but I'm on a multi monitor setup. It's not a critical error as I can simply click on one of the instances after the other and close it, and still everything works as expected. Still annoying though. Edited April 12, 2022 by Alex80 forgot to mention multi-monitor
Gulshan Dogra Posted April 13, 2022 Report Posted April 13, 2022 Hi @Alex80, Welcome to the Enpass community. I have duly noted your feedback and it has been forwarded to the concerned team for further investigation. #SI-2737
Carsten1 Posted June 13, 2022 Report Posted June 13, 2022 Hi, I have the same issue and I know one other person having it as well. Is there any update on this?
Gulshan Dogra Posted June 21, 2022 Report Posted June 21, 2022 @Alex80 and @Carsten1, Our team is looking into this issue, meanwhile please share the following details so that we can able to resolve this issue together. Kindly check if you have multiple versions of Enpass installed in your device (Maybe both store and website builds). When multiple dock instances are listed, check into the activity monitor for the number of instances of Enpass that are running. Do you made any changes to the system/application like MacOS Upgrade or Enpass update? #SI-2737

Do you made any changes to the system/application like MacOS Upgrade or Enpass update? There's only one Enpass installed. There's only one instance running but today it shows two app icons. Not sure what kind of changes you referring to. It didn't happen some days, but today it showed up with two icons.
Gulshan Dogra Posted June 23, 2022 Report Posted June 23, 2022 @Carsten1, Thanks for sharing the details, I have forwarded the same to our backend team. I will let you know as soon as I receive any updates from them regarding the same. #SI-2737
Gulshan Dogra Posted June 28, 2022 Report Posted June 28, 2022 @Carsten1, I would like to share that our backend team is unable to reproduce this issue on their end and everything is working as expected. I would recommend you to update your Enpass version to its latest 6.8.2 from this link and let me know how it goes for you. #SI-2737
Carsten1 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Posted June 28, 2022 Well, I am also only having that issue from time to time. It didn't happen for some days now. I have 6.8.2 already running since 5 days. Maybe that solves the problem. 1

That means macOS 12.4. Today in the morning after starting the computer I had again two icons in the dock. At that moment I was still on Enpass 6.8.1 (1060) App Store. While reading the latest posts in this thread I updated to Enpass 6.8.2 (1082) from the app store. Maybe it's fixed. I will let you know if not.
Alex80 Posted June 29, 2022 Author Report Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Well.. it happened again. Now as mentioned before on macOS 12.4. and with Enpass 6.8.2 (1082) from the app store. Edit: Activity Monitor showed only one instamce of Enpass running. Edited June 29, 2022 by Alex80
Discordant Posted June 30, 2022 Report Posted June 30, 2022 When you hover over the Enpass icons in the dock, do all but one of them disappear?

When I click on one after the other it doens't open multiple windows/instances of Enpass. It seems that all of those icons are just bringing back the focus to the one single existing program window. If I click on one Icon, then close the program window (with the red X in the top left corner) also one icon (the last one I clicked on) disappears. So if that happens, I click on one of the icons then close the window and repeat that until all the icons are gone from the dock.
Carsten1 Posted July 1, 2022 Report Posted July 1, 2022 Same here. It happened again. When I click on one of the icons, the Enpass main window appears. Once I close that main window, that Icon disappears. When I click on the next Icon, the main window appears again. When I close it, that Icon disappears again. And so on until every Icon is away.
_Sascha_ Posted July 24, 2022 Report Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) For me on a , Mac Mini M1 2020 with 16GB with MacOS 12.4, Enpass works great. But on the Mac Mini M1 2020 8GB with MacOS 12.4 of my brother a similar issue (which was mentioned in this thread) showed up already the second time. The issue As soon he logged in, the Dock on the bottom fills up with multiple Enpass instances/icons: First attempts: To close all these 1. My fist idea was to close all Enpass instances via Terminal with the following command (without success): killall Entpass 2. Then I looked into the activity-monitor for Enpass, but didn't found anything mentioning Enpass. 3. Afterwards I tried to find Enpass mentioning somewhere in the terminal (without success) with the command: ps aux Second attempt: To close all these Because I wasn't able to find Enpass via terminal/activity-monitor, I decided to close all these instances/icon by hand. Most of them disappeared already when you clicked on one of them (means, they didn't opened anything). At the end only 4 instances/icons opened the window which asked for the master-password. What was suspicious, these 4 instances/icons even stayed in the bar (as if you put them there for quick access) even after the window/instance was closed. Afterwards when logged in with at least one master-password prompt/window, Enpass behaved normal like usual. My guess: When tried to reproduce this Could it be, that Enpass doesn't started on Startup and just the Firefox or Chrome plugin toggled these instances multiple times? I just got the idea, because there isn't any clue about Enpass in the activity-monitor when so many instances/icons are running. I tried to keep the Firefox instance open (one time without any windows, one time with two pages) and restart MacOS with remembering last session (opened apps). Sadfully, without any result. I couldn't reprodurce/trigger the bug! Now: Debug time Enpass got installed the usual way once. We could delete Enpass completely (and remove all installed extensions) and maybe with some luck solve the issue. But this wouldn't help the Enpass community, so I think we will wait until the issue shows themself the next time, for further inspection. And there is my question, what do you guys need for the next time? - I'm developer and admin, so I can crawl every additional informations together when this happens again. - Enpass logging is now enabled.

Alex80 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Report Posted August 23, 2022 I don't know if that information helps, but I migrated from a Intel MBP to a M1 MBA. I moved everything over with apples migration assistant and the issue is gone. 1
Gulshan Dogra Posted August 23, 2022 Report Posted August 23, 2022 @Alex80, I am delighted to receive this notification. Thank you for letting me know that the issue has been resolved for you.
BGR Posted August 31, 2022 Report Posted August 31, 2022 I can report the same problem. I believe it always occurs on computer restart. I tried Force Quitting all of them, but they do not seem to go away. I killed Enpass and found then, that if clicked on each dock icon, they dissapeared. So there definitely is a problem that multiple users are seeing.

BGR Posted October 3, 2022 Report Posted October 3, 2022 Just had this occur again after restart. Was this fixed in 6.8.3? I am currently on 6.8.2, but about to upgrade. And for those who see this, you can recover from it by opening Enpass (using spotlight or Applications folder, since it's hard to find the actual Enpass icon in the dock with literally hundreds of them visible,) and quit it from the Enpass menu item. Then, open terminal, and enter the command "killall Dock" to kill off the Dock app. It will automatically restart and the Enpass icons will be gone. You can safely reopen Enpass at this point.
Alex80 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Report Posted October 4, 2022 Hey, I upgraded to 6.8.3 on Friday but even before that the issue occurred very rarely now. Can’t tell if 6.8.3 fixed it for good yet, but I hope so. 1
Carsten1 Posted October 6, 2022 Report Posted October 6, 2022 It happened again with 6.8.3. Just an idea: I have multiple Desktops. When I click on one of the icons, it opens on Desktop 2, even though I am on Desktop 1.
Alex80 Posted October 10, 2022 Author Report Posted October 10, 2022 Another idea: Maybe it is somehow related to the browser plugins? I say this because very recently the Firefox plugin "lost" the connection to the enpass app on my computer. During the process of connecting the browser plugin to the app again the app icon was showing multiple times in the dock for a short time. Also: I'm using the plugins for multiple browsers parallel and I'm using at least Firefox and Chrome at the same time on a regular basis. Sometimes others as well, like Safari
Gulshan Dogra Posted October 10, 2022 Report Posted October 10, 2022 @Alex80, Thank you for your feedback, it has been relayed to our backend team for further investigation. As for now this issue is not reproducible at our end any updates regarding the same will be delivered immediately.
Abhishek Dewan Posted April 14, 2023 Report Posted April 14, 2023 Hello Everyone, We forwarded this request to our developers and we would like to inform you that we were not able to reproduce it. In spite of rigorous testing and quality checks on multiple operating systems/machines, Enpass was not able to locate the glitch/bug reported by the user. During this scenario, we would recommend that Enpass be updated/reinstalled (including OS). In case this issue gets reproduced in the future, we will update this forum. Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted.
