Setting up Sync not working (with non-default web browser)

Problem:

Setting up Sync is not working with Dropbox (maybe others too).

Environment:

  • Enpass Windows Desktop v6.0.6 (323)
  • Enpass Extension 6.0.0.1
  • Chromium Web Browser 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit) (not default browser) (Enpass Extension installed).
  • Google Chrome (default browser) (Enpass Extension not installed).

Repro Steps:

When I setup Dropbox Sync via Enpass Desktop:

  • Enpass Desktop opens the default browser.
    • I don't use the operating system default browser with Enpass, therefore don't have the Enpass Extension installed on the default browser.
    • I use Chromium as my browser, which is not the operating system's default web browser.
  • Enpass Desktop sends an authentication link to the default browser to Dropbox.
  • Since I don't use the default browser, I copy and paste the authentication link to my default browser.
  • The browser that I use is Chromium, with the Enpass Extension installed.
  • When I log into Dropbox via authentication link and approve the authorization, Enpass doesn't recognize the authorization, and does nothing.

Potential Reasons:

  • Chromium not fully supported. 
  • Chromium is not the default browser.  Enpass will open the default browser (which I don't use Enpass Extension) with the authentication link, I manually copy the authentication link, and paste the link.
  • There's some sort of communication between: Enpass Desktop <=> Enpass Extension <=> Browser that is not working.

Thanks

Instead of doing all these messes up steps why don't you make Chromium as your default browser and then enable sync.

Great idea, but I'm running a portable version of Chromium.

Here's what my Chromium browser settings show (I presume it declares itself as the default browser because it is a portable app without access to the registry):

Thanks.
