Enpass & Safari 18.2 (Sequoia)

[macRBC]

I upgraded my macOS to Sequoia recently and find I no longer can save usernames/passwords to Enpass. Only option seems to be Apple's Passwords. My preference is Enpass 6.11.8 (1860)

As found in Google (AI) when searching "IS ENPASS COMPATIBLE WITH MAC SEQUOIA"

According to information available, Enpass is not compatible with Mac Sequoia as it appears to be a non-existent macOS version, and recent Enpass updates have specifically addressed issues related to compatibility with older macOS versions, indicating that "Sequoia" is not a supported operating system. 

 

So, I ask -- will Enpass be updated? Apple's new Password app is terrible.

If you are using a recent macOS version and facing issues with saving usernames and passwords to Enpass, it could be due to the default password manager settings on your Browser.

Additionally, please confirm that the Enpass extension is installed and enabled in your browser. For Safari, the Enpass extension is included by default. You can check if it’s enabled by going to Safari settings.

If the issue persists, please don’t hesitate to contact us at support@enpass.io.

From what I've seen online, Enpass is not compatibe with macOS Sequoia. I've never had need to have the browser extension* install for Enpass to offer username/passwords. I cannot find option to use Enpass versus Apple's Password so only Password works. Enpass 6.11.8 (1860) works as an application in Sequoia so not sure if I have to settle on using two password managers.

 

*using the browser extension states Enpass can read and alter sensitive information hence I've never activated.

Here’s a quick rundown addressing your points:

1. macOS Sequoia Compatibility:

   Enpass 6.11.8 is fully compatible with macOS Sequoia as an application. However, for autofill functionality in browsers, Enpass relies on our secure browser extension. Since Apple's built-in Password Manager is integrated into macOS and Safari, it might appear as the default option.

   On macOS, the Safari extension is bundled with the Enpass desktop app and is added to Safari automatically, but it isn’t enabled by default. To enable the Enpass extension on Safari, please follow these steps:
    Go to Safari Preferences > Extensions > Enpass.
   Click the checkbox next to Enpass Extension in the sidebar.
   Click the Turn On button in the pop-up that appears.
   Once the extension is installed, connect it to the Enpass desktop app to allow access to your saved accounts, passwords, and passkeys.
   Click on Always Allow On Every Website. 

2. Browser Extension and Security:
   We understand the security concerns regarding browser extensions. Our Enpass extension is built with stringent security measures and only accesses fields necessary for autofill after your explicit permission. If you're not comfortable using the extension, you can continue using Enpass as a secure vault and manually copy credentials when needed.

3. Using Two Password Managers:
   While it might seem like you're managing two systems, Apple's Password Manager and Enpass serve different purposes. For a seamless autofill experience with Enpass, we recommend activating the browser extension. This way, you can enjoy the robust features of Enpass while keeping your credentials secure.

I hope this helps clarify things. If you have any further questions or need more details about our extension’s security protocols, please let me know.
