SSH Agent support

Featured Replies

+1 would be very great to have SSH-Support into Enpass!

Is there any news on this, as the original Request is over three years old, now?

Hi @all,

Thank you very much for your patience and support.

I use a WebDAV connection with a self-signed certificate for local synchronization. The DNS name that is automatically assigned by my router is very popular in Europe/Germany, nas.fritz.box. Enpass works perfectly with this setup because I can explicitly tell it not to verify the certificate because it's self-signed.

But am I creating a security vulnerability by doing this? Enpass automatically syncs the vaults when I open it. If someone wants to steal my vault, they will see that there is a DNS request for dns.fritz.box and create the DNS themselves. On the second attempt, when Enpass tries to sync, the hacker will accept every user and password and will now know the WebDAV DNS name, user, and password. What happens when Enpass tries to sync and sees that there is no file? Will the file be created and copied, or will there be an alert? If it is simply copied, my password file could be stolen when using hotel Wi-Fi. If there is an alert, I will know that someone is trying to steal my vault file. I know that self-signed certificates are not a good idea. It would be great if Enpass could use ssh(fs) for file syncing.

Thanks for moving the question to ssh request, but there is still the open question regarding WebDAV will Enpass copy the file to a insecure location?

Dear Esteemed Enpass Team,

I trust this message finds you well. I am a dedicated user of your exceptional product, Enpass. I am reaching out today to express my interest in a feature that I understand has previously been suggested by fellow users.

Three years ago, the prospect of integrating SSH agent functionality into Enpass was discussed. This capability, as you are likely aware, would greatly enhance our ability to manage SSH keys, thereby increasing the security of our SSH connections - a crucial factor in the current digital landscape.

Recognizing the importance of such a feature, I am writing to inquire about the progress of its implementation. Understanding the complexities involved in software development, I am aware that such processes require time and resources. Nevertheless, I believe this functionality would significantly enhance the usability of Enpass and provide a more secure and streamlined experience for your users.

I appreciate your time in reading and considering my request. Any updates you can provide on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your continued dedication to improving and maintaining the high standards of Enpass.

@Amandeep Kumar

@Gulshan Dogra It's 2025 now, and this feature was requested about six years ago. What's the status of this feature? When will it be released?

We would like to inform you that this feature is already in our development pipeline. While we do not currently have an estimated timeline for its release, it will be introduced as soon as it becomes available.

I am (was) a big fan of Enpass since the very beginning (I created my account before subscription model) and it's really sad to see that Enpass development team slowed down significantly and seems to be unresponsive to the user's requests.

This SSH support feature request was submitted 6 years ago and still not implemented.

Another important request - FIDO2 support - was submitted 4 years ago - unfortunately the same result:

https://discussion.enpass.io/index.php?/topic/27596-usb-security-key-fido2-support/page/2/#comment-92034

Today I discovered that Bitwarden can be self-hosted (aka Vaultwarden) and it has all that features: excellent SSH support, FIDO2 keys support etc.
It's a bit more effort to self-host Vaultwarden server, but that was the last advantage of Enpass - you own your data offline and you decide how to backup them.

Is it time to say goodbye to Enpass then...? (I still hope not...)

Thank you for being a long-time Enpass user and for sharing your honest feedback. We truly appreciate your continued support since the early days.

We understand your frustration regarding the delay in implementing features like SSH and FIDO2 support. Please rest assured that your feedback has been shared with our Product and Development Teams. Both features are on our internal roadmap, and we’re actively evaluating how to bring them to Enpass in a secure and seamless way.

We genuinely value your trust and patience as we continue to improve Enpass. Our goal remains to provide a secure, privacy-focused, and offline-first password manager.

Thank you once again for your loyalty and valuable input.
