Hey Enpass community!

We’ve got something exciting to share - Enpass is getting a fresh new look, now more consistent with the Windows 11 experience. Plus, Enpass for Windows is now a native 64-bit and ARM64 app, bringing faster performance and improved memory usage. Everything you know and rely on works exactly the same, it just looks and feels a whole lot better.

This is also just the beginning—Enpass for Mac with the all-new look lands in the next few days too!

Here’s what’s new:

A more modern visual refresh across the entire app

• Cleaner layouts and improved spacing throughout

• Refined icons, buttons, and text that feel sharper and more modern

• Every part of the app has been revamped- the sidebar, your item lists, item details, autofill, sharing, password generator, lock screen, and more

Redesigned Settings

• More spacious and easier to read, so finding what you need is much more convenient.

Everyday tasks feel smoother

• Things like adding items and importing data now take fewer steps. Get things done faster and more efficiently.

And the most important part: it’s still the same Enpass you know and love. All your data and all your passwords remain secure and under the hood. We’ve just made everything nicer to look at and easier to use.

Thanks for being a part of the Enpass community - you’re the reason we keep making it better. Check out the Beta version here and try out the new Enpass today.

Note for Beta Testers

Your data and settings will carry over automatically. Once updated, please take a moment to check that your vaults, items, and preferences are all in place. If you run into any issues, reach out to us at support@enpass.io.

So far, I'm not liking the "improvements" at all. The Spacing is Way TOO BIG, and all the special highlighting of every row on the Item Details when moving your mouse over them is very distracting, and having to click the hamburger (3 little) dots to choose "copy"...now it's 2 clicks instead of just one. I'm not sure why you guys are messing with the already great UI you already have!!! I'm sure all the "under the hood" things are great, but please leave the UI as it is!

I like the the new theme, it catches up the design from the initial simple UWP design language, also making the UIs of Linux and Windows more similar (you ditched dark theme for classic theme on windows few years ago for some reason)

I still agree with @bu11etpr00f on the unnecessary extra click for Copy, and the expand button for Note fields seems unneeded too.

Good job that you allow Notes to get more space when windows is maximized though. (once expanded).

I do miss the one-column view that you got rid of (now you can only have a two or three column view)

I would like to be able to to hide the menu-bar, it clutters the nice ui and I never use it.

• The font used throughout the interface is too small, making it more difficult to read despite the increased spacing; there's no way to increase the size. **I'd rather see fewer items in a larger font (and have to scroll more) than see more items in a smaller, less readable size (and have to scroll less).

• The box for editing notes is too small. Some of my entries have multiple pages of writing and editing them is annoying in the small box.

• Having a yellow background for notes is unnecessary and can be harsh on the eyes. Yes, it is the color of a Post-It or a yellow pad of paper, but it's unpleasant. It would be great to have the background for notes be black or white in line with the dark or light theme - or allow the user to choose the color of the background and especially the size of the font.

• Highlighting of every row on the Item Details when moving your mouse over them is annoying and distracting.

• Glad to hear about improvements under the hood and I'll get used to the new interface, but I dislike the above.

And don't forget about custom scrolling (by mouse wheel) which is far from system defaults.

Subject: Regressing usability: Fixed fields, wasted space, and broken search in v6.12

Hi Enpass Team,

I need to express my deep frustration with the recent v6.12 UI refresh. The update is a massive step backward in usability for several reasons:

1. Locked Customization: Preventing users from customizing, renaming, or freely moving standard fields above "Personal Data" ruins the flexibility that made Enpass great. Previously, I could fully customize my layouts (e.g., changing generic titles like "Security Question"). Forcing users into a rigid template structure is unacceptable.

2. Wasted Screen Space & Bad UX: The new font and row spacing is way too big, resulting in significantly less information visible on the screen. The new row hover highlights are visually distracting. Furthermore, basic actions are now more complicated, such as requiring two clicks via a three-dot menu to copy a password instead of just one.

3. Broken Search: The search functionality in v6.12 has become completely unreliable, often failing to find data that is clearly present in the vault upon manual inspection.

As an early adopter who backed Enpass from the very beginning with a Pro Lifetime License, it hurts to see the software moving in this direction. We supported this project years ago precisely because of its high flexibility and efficiency. Destroying these core features now feels like a betrayal of your most loyal long-term users.

This lifetime license is the only reason I am not switching to a competitor immediately. Because v6.12 is essentially unusable for my workflow, I have completely uninstalled it and downgraded back to version 6.11.21.

Please do not ignore the feedback of the people who helped build your foundation. Restore the full customizability of all fields, fix the search, and provide options for compact spacing. I will remain on the old version until the previous behavior is restored.

Enpass Team, if someone "buys" your product, it's because they LIKE your product. If you go changing everything about your product, IT IS NO LONGER THE SAME PRODUCT!

It's like going to the auto dealer and buying a Ferrari, and then after a "regular scheduled maintenance" you find the body of your Ferrari now looks like a Ford F-150. This would not be acceptable to anyone. Please put the Ferrari body back on the vehicle. It's the product we all paid for!

msecure did this same thing when they came out with version 5. It's why I left them. Please don't follow in their footsteps.

The correct way to add changes to the UI, is make them optional. Also, IMHO, the UI should move towards being more like a spreadsheet instead of a power point presentation. A spreadsheet gives you lots of data on your screen, a power point presentation has minimal data but "looks pretty". Form should always follow function, not the other way around. More data is 👍, less data is 👎

Also, less clicks to do something is 👍, adding more clicks to do something is 👎

Please listen to your users, and leave the UI alone. If anything, please add an option to decrease all the spacing (top bar spacing, side bar spacing, item list spacing, item data spacing, etc.

Comparison of the amount of visible data on screen from v6.11.20 and v6.12:

Categories / Tags Visible | Item List Count Visible | Item Details Visible |

v6.11.20
31 Visible | 15 Visible (same) | 19 (5 SECTION TITLES) Visible |

v6.12
25 Visible | 15 Visible (same) | 15 (5 SECTION TITLES) Visible |

The top Information Bar is also WAY TO BIG! Attached are a screen shot comparisons taken using the exact same dimensions.

v6.11.20

v6.12.0

Please leave the UI as it is!
