Multi-factor authentication of Enpass vaults
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) describes several kinds of heightened security methods for confirming a user’s identity in addition to your providing a username and password.
Enpass protects your passwords with stronger multi-factor security than other password managers
With other password managers…
Most cloud-based password managers keep your data on their own servers, secured with a username and password, and often a authentication code sent to your phone or email. Central severs are vulnerable to a large-scale attack that can steal millions of users' data at once. Anyone trying to steal your passwords stored with most password managers would need…
-
Your username and password
-
A second-factor authentication, like a one-time code
But with Enpass…
You decide where and how your own data is secured. When you store your Enpass vaults on your existing cloud services like OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox, you have already created an extra layer of security: Your data is both encrypted with your Enpass master password and can’t be accessed without your cloud-account credentials. Anyone trying to steal your passwords from an Enpass vault would need to...
-
Target you personally (not a centralized server laden with password vaults)
-
and know which cloud services you’ve has chosen for your vaults
-
and discover the credentials to those cloud accounts
-
and get past each cloud account's multi-factor authentication
-
and know your Enpass master password
Even if your Master Password were compromised, your data would remain secured by your cloud-account security. And if your cloud account were hacked, your Enpass data would remain secured (and encrypted) by your Master Password.
And you can go one factor further...
If you want to get even more sophisticated with your password security, Enpass also supports the use of keyfiles along with your Master Password.
