Hello team,

This has been happening for the past at least three months on two of my Macs that sync to a WebDAV location. I noticed this a while back when NPaaS app was just in the background and running for a few hours, and then I would try to update it, it would give me this error. Then when I completely quit the app and open it again, it will allow me to make whatever change I try to do.

As mentioned this happens on two Macs. Is this a known bug or issue? I've even tried to sync locally, and I have switched both of my Macs from WebDAV to working with the local file, but the same issue happens, so it's not WebDAV-related.

Is there any log that I can share? 

I am running latest version 6.11.9 (1915).

Best, Maik

Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed information.

To diagnose and resolve the issue you're experiencing, please try the following steps:

  1. Ensure Latest Version: You're already on version 6.11.9 (1915), which is great. Please confirm the same version is installed on both Macs.

  2. Manual Sync Check: Even if you're now using local file sync, please try manually syncing the vault once to ensure it's up to date and there are no hidden conflicts.

  3. Restarting the App: As you've noted that restarting Enpass temporarily resolves the issue, this could be a session-related glitch. We are currently investigating reports of similar behavior.

  4. Reinstall the App: If the problem persists, consider reinstalling Enpass after taking a backup of your vault (via File > Backup). A clean install sometimes resolves long-standing issues.

  5. System Logs: Yes, we’d be happy to analyze the logs. Please go to Enpass > Help > Logs, and send us the log file from both Macs where the issue occurs.

To assist further, could you please also confirm:

  • The macOS version running on both devices.

  • If there were any recent changes to your system, Enpass settings, or security software.

  • A screenshot of the error message when it appears.

Kindly share these details with us at support@enpass.io so we can investigate further and provide targeted assistance.

The logging option is available in the Enpass website version (downloaded directly from enpass.io), not the Store version. To enable logs:

  1. Open Enpass.

  2. Go to Settings > Advanced.

  3. Enable the Logs option.

Once enabled, reproduce the issue and then send us the log fill, it will help us investigate further.

Let me know if you need help finding the correct version or settings!

I just had the same issue again.  I couldn't attach logs it as the spam filter kicked in....where can I upload the logs?

Edit: was able to save the logs here. this is what I got after I had the same error again multiple times.

To help us investigate the issue, please provide the following details:

  1. Please confirm whether you have write access to the location where your Enpass data is stored.
    To check this, go to Enpass > Advanced Settings, find the data location, navigate to that folder using your file manager, and try creating a new folder. Let us know whether you're able to do so successfully.

  2. Are you encountering this issue with multiple items, or is it limited to a specific item?

Hi Team,

Yes, I am using just a local folder: /Users/maik/Documents/Enpass/

I can read/write no issue. As mentioned Enpass can write changes for a while after I restart it. But it always gives me that error if I get back to it after a few hours. Have not yet figured out after how much time the error occurs...

Hi. I still encounter the same issue even after I now store the database in the plain document directory. Please help. I frequently lose time and information this way as I only realize once I entered a whole host of information that I cannot save and have to restart the app. The app works, however for me, for an unknown number of hours.

To assist you more effectively, please provide the following information:

  1. Have you imported data from any other password manager?

  2. Are you encountering this issue with a specific item or with all items?

  3. If the issue is related to a particular item, kindly create a duplicate of that item, make some changes for security purposes, and share the updated item with us along with the PSK.

Hi, no, have not imported from any other tool.

And the issue happens with any item, as far as I can tell. The differentiator is how long the app was open. As mentioend, I encounter the error with an item, quit the app, restart the app, then I can maintain and save. But then some hours later, it won't work again. So it does not seem to matter, which item i choose and I am not sure how much help it would be to share..

Hi this error still happens daily on both my macs. behavior has not changed. After a while when enpass runs, any change attempt leads to this. I quit the app and run it, for a few minutes, changes are possible, then after a while the error happens again. 

Please please provide a way to support rectifying this. It is highly disruptive.

Thank you for reporting this — I understand how disruptive this issue can be, and I appreciate your patience.

To help diagnose and resolve the problem, please try the following steps:

  1. Update Enpass
    Ensure you are using the latest version of Enpass on all your Macs. Recent releases often include important fixes.

  2. Verify App Permissions
    Make sure Enpass has full access to required permissions, especially storage and network access.

  3. Full-Screen Mode Check
    If Enpass is running in full-screen mode on macOS, please try running it in normal window mode and see if the issue persists.

If the issue continues after trying these steps, please let us know we may need additional details to investigate further.

Hi Team,

Enpass is updated, it has even full disk permissions and is not running in full screen.
Also:
- I tried the app store version and the download version. same behavior.
- I tried webdav and local. placed the enpass database in main user directory. same behavior.

It's always the same...after a while of running the app, it throws this error. I have to quit the app then it it will work for a while, so it definitely is not related to permissions. 

Note this happens on both my macs..studio and macbook air m2. I am running latest 15.7.2. As you can see in this thread, this has been an issue forever.

Is there any kind of verbose logging etc that I can provide that can help you diagnose this? I'd like to help to please get this resolved. It's very disruptive

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing these details and the steps you followed. The error message “There was an error while updating the item” when trying to modify an entry is unexpected.

I will pass this along to our technical team for further investigation. If more information is needed, I’ll reach out to you here or via DM.

Before that, could you please clarify whether your Documents folder is synced with any cloud service?

We appreciate your support and patience while we look into this.
