Enpass Beta v6.1 for Traditional Windows and macOS brings a lot of enhancements and fixes

[Guest Vikram Dabas]

Hi All,

We are pleased to announce the release of Enpass Beta v6.1 for the Windows Website version. This update brings a couple of new features along with a lot of enhancements and bug fixes. This update improves the overall usability of the app. The complete changelog is

WHAT'S NEW

• Pwned Password section in Password Audit: We have added a separate section for the Pwned passwords under the Password Audit. The app securely checks your passwords against the list of breached passwords in the past, and if found, the compromised passwords will appear under this section, which you need to change immediately.
• Classic View: Many of our Windows users still love the Classic view and asked the same for Enpass. And here it is. For Windows 7 and 8, the app by default runs in the Classic theme, and for Windows 10 you can enable it from the app Settings > Customize > Theme > Select the Classic option and restart the app.
• Import from other password managers: Migrating data from other password managers to Enpass is a matter of just a few clicks. The new import functionality can easily and quickly import all your data from the supported password managers.
• The subset of password: It lets you see certain characters in password specified by position, for example, "1st, 3rd, next-to-last, last" by just mentioning their place in a specified format.
• Exporting database in CSV Format: This version brings back the option to export the database into CSV format.

IMPROVEMENTS

• Tag Suggestions: You can easily assign Tags to an item as the app will auto-suggest the existing tags as soon as you start trying them.
• Password Readability: This update improves the readability of Passwords against the light/dark backgrounds with a new color combination for the Digits, Uppercase, and Symbols.
• Option to remove 'Recent items' from the app: Now can clear the list of Recent items from the app's Menu bar.
• Added an option to include the Trashed or Archived items while exporting the data.

FIXES

• Clearing Clipboard: There was a problem where the app was clearing the clipboard even if the information was copied outside the Enpass app. Now fixed.
• Rescaling of Enpass Assistant on multiple-monitors: A bug where the Enpass Assistant didn't rescale itself on multi-monitors has been fixed. (macOS only)
• After enabling the dark mode on macOS, the app sometimes showed a light background. Fixed.  (macOS only)
• Some buttons displayed on the MacBook Touch Bar weren't performing the desired action — now fixed. (macOS only)
• Sometimes the app was unable to detect the attached printer and threw an error 'Printer Not Found.' Fixed. (macOS only)
• A glitch in UI where the app window was getting cut off while creating a new item in the custom templates has been fixed.
• If the Enpass app was set to auto-run on system start and used in a full-screen window, then the app didn't automatically minimize to system tray after the system start. Fixed.
• A bug that would prevent you from adding an attachment if it contains % symbol in its name. Fixed.
• A bug in the manual proxy configuration didn't allow some users to configure the cloud sync has been resolved.
• For those using multi-monitors, setting the scaling factor to 175% on HiDPI (4k) screens made the title of multiline field overlayed with the text. Fixed.
• The custom icons weren't resized or cropped appropriately. Fixed.
• A UI bug where enabling/disabling the checkbox of 'Autosubmit Login' in Enpass Browser settings didn't display the actual state. Fixed.
• The security and sync settings got reset when the default location of Enpass data was changed. Fixed.
• If a Multiline field was marked as sensitive, then the information wasn't concealed with bullets in the edit page. Fixed.
• While creating a new Tag, or sub-tag the focus automatically got back to the previously selected list in the Sidebar. Fixed.
• While re-arranging the fields, the scroller in edit page wasn't progressing following the fields. Fixed.
• While printing the database, the app didn't sort the database in the correct alphabetic order. Fixed.
• While copying or moving an item from one vault to another, the information saved in the Web form wasn't copied/moved to the item in new vault. Fixed.
• If Tablet Mode was enabled, and the app was set to auto-run on system start, then the app didn't open with the size of the previously defined window. Fixed.
• For the Note category, clicking Ctrl+C in the Enpass Assistant didn't copy the selected information. Fixed.

DOWNLOAD LINK:

There are two ways to get the Beta updates:

1. From Enpass Website: A Beta Program page is available on our website from where you can download all the latest Beta versions for the supported platforms.
2. From Enpass app: The Enpass app itself will notify you about the Beta update as soon as it's available. To receive the notifications, you need to enable the 'Beta Updates' from Enpass Advanced Settings.

Please install the beta update and help us to improve the app further. Thanks.

Cheers!

There is a major problem with the "classic" theme, that makes it absolutely useless for the people who really want it. 

The context menus have not been fixed. The hover behavior is completely lost. In the items pane (where it shows a table with all the websites entries), if you select one item, the hover over another one, and then right click it does not work. 

When the context menu shows up, all the options will happen on the item that is currently selected, instead of on the item where the mouse is hovering. 

It basically that the context menu is not contextual anymore. 

A major innovation from the Enpass team: a context-unaware context menu.

And why "Classic" theme uses non-default windows font? Font you hardcoded into classic theme just small, awful and has anti-aliasing issues.

Because they are not even trying. Enpass 6 is just awful, it will never be a good desktop app. 

The developers are just lazy and careless.

They did not even bother to fix the basic problems, like the context menu that does not work at all, the password editing menu, the menu bar that uses a fixed width, really, I don't think I have ever seen even an electron app that manages to get this much wrong on the UI side.
