February 20Feb 20 Hi all,I'm in the process of migrating from Windows 11 (where Enpass works as expected) to Ubuntu (latest version). I installed Enpass, loaded a backup of my passwords, added the Enpass extension to Brave, and enabled browser extensions. When I get to a login page, the Enpass icon doesn't appear nor does an entry matching the url(s). The only way I can fill in the password is by manually copying the username and password from Enpass after I find the appropriate login. Any suggestions for things to fix?
February 20Feb 20 Change the browser, from what I heared, Brave is not working for some users because auth in background is not working as intended. No workaround yet known...

February 23Feb 23 Have you tried disabling If this is not working, and you have checked the Enpass extensions settings inside the browser, I am sorry but have no other clue.

March 7Mar 7 Author SOLVED!OK, the actual solution to the problem is as follows:When Ubuntu installed Enpass, it installed the SNAP version of the software. SNAP sandboxes the app, which prevents it from interacting with the browser (which is outside of that sandbox).The solution is to remove the Enpass version installed from the Ubuntu app store. Then go to the Enpass download page, select the Linux install. There it shows you how to install the debian version from the command line using the apt package manager (4 commands total to copy, paste, run). Once that is done, everything works like it should!Hopefully this can help others with the same problem. Edited March 7Mar 7 by TN_Dude
