Password Audit and Breach Monitoring in Enpass

Enpass helps you strengthen your data security by monitoring for unsafe passwords, and alerting you of data breaches that may put your accounts at risk.

Security audit on the Enpass Home screen

When you launch the Enpass desktop app, or select Audit in the mobile app, the Security Audit screen summarizes your overall password health, including:

• Your Security Score, on a scale of 0-100, calculated from all the factors below, plus the strength of your Master Password

• Items with compromised, identical, weak, or expired passwords

• Items that need to be secured because of recent website breaches

• Items that could be upgraded to authentication-code (2FA) security

• Items that could be upgraded to passkey security

Selecting any of these counts will take you to a filtered list of matching Items.
