Recommended settings

After setting up your Enpass app, we recommended turning on some features that enhance your experience, including settings for quickly unlocking Enpass with biometrics, automatically checking your Items for unsafe passwords, setting up autofill tools, and using website logos as icons for your Items. (Some of these features will appear in a Quick Setup panel at the end of the setup process.)

In Enpass for desktop computers, Quick Setup options include:

Prerequisites for using Windows Hello to unlock Enpass

The Microsoft Store version of Enpass for Windows (v6.5.0 or later) supports unlocking with Windows Hello. To enable this feature:
