Key features
Enpass
- Vaults in your own cloud
- Encrypted vaults sync through your own iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Nextcloud or WebDAV account, or stay offline and sync over Wi-Fi. Enpass says it never holds vault data.
- Autofill and password generator
- Fills passwords, passkeys, authentication codes, credit cards and web forms, saves new and changed credentials, and generates random or pronounceable passwords.
- Passkeys and built-in authenticator
- Creates, stores and syncs passkeys inside the vault and generates TOTP codes, so a separate authenticator app is not needed.
- Security audit and breach alerts
- A dashboard shows a password security score, highlights weak, compromised and duplicate passwords, and alerts you when a credential appears in a known breach.
- Multiple vaults and custom items
- Premium allows unlimited separate vaults, for example personal, work and shared ones, plus customizable templates, categories, tags, fields and file attachments.
- Business admin console
- Organizations keep vaults in their own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and get policy enforcement, SCIM provisioning, SSO integration and audit logs.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
