When you're setting up sync for a vault in enpass for Android, you don't need to enroll the whole phone with that account. You'll be redirected to the Google Account page in Google chrome, just make sure to "login with another account", entering the credentials for the shared Google account. Once the sync is ongoing, you can logout from that account in Google Chrome (account.google.com) so you're not accidentally use it for other stuff when surfing. If you're insecure of this, you might consider using a Dropbox or Microsoft account instead. The shared account (whichever provider) should be used only for the shared enpass vault (IMHO). 

 

Also, make sure to store the credentials for the shared vault in both yours and your wife's _primary_ vault, so it's not being lost in the shared vault (catch 22)

I did it. I had to add the account to the phone but then I deleted the account and the sync still works...

To share your Enpass database with your wife's Android smartphone without enrolling your Google Account on her device, you can follow these steps:

1. Export Your Vault: On your device, export your vault to a secure location such as a USB drive or directly to your wife's device using a local network or direct sharing options (e.g., Bluetooth, email with end-to-end encryption).

2. Transfer the File: Safely transfer the exported vault file to your wife's device.

3. Import the Vault on Her Device: On your wife's Android device, open Enpass and select the option to restore from a backup. Locate the transferred file and import it.

4. Set Up Sync (Optional): If you want to keep the data synced between both devices, set up a shared sync method such as WebDAV, Nextcloud, or any other service that doesn't require your Google Account on her device.

This approach allows you to securely share the database without linking her device to your account.

Let me know if you need any further assistance!
