LastPass, the most popular password manager It was sold. And if you are still looking for a replacement, I found it already. Enpass - universal cross-platform password manager about all the benefits of which will describe in this review.

Where to store passwords? Perhaps it's best to Enpass. Unlike many competitors, Enpass completely free. At the same time it offers 256-bit AES-encryption. In addition, the system password to the vault is not recorded locally or by any other means. However, it is one of the main shortcomings of the program: in the event that a password is forgotten, access to the database will not be able to recover logins and passwords.

Enpass important advantage is that the program does not store the database or individual passwords on their servers, so that the leak is impossible. Database passwords in an encrypted file by default is stored locally, only on a disk hard or internal memory used devaysa (smartphone, computer or tablet). Have the ability to sync with popular cloud services: iCloud (to Apple-only devices)

Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box. There is stored exactly the same encrypted file, as in the local store, so that in case of loss or hacking into your account in the cloud, you can not worry about the security of sensitive data.

Another advantage Enpass - full support for all popular operating systems and browsers. To use the program you need to download the main customer: desktop or mobile version.

It supports all versions of the Windows desktop, there is a separate client for tablet modern Windows (8.1 and above). Enpass official clients there for Mac OS X, and Linux (tested stable performance in 7 CentOS, Fedora 21 and Ubuntu 12.04).

Mobile platforms are no exception: Enpass developers have not forgotten any of the popular modern operating systems. Jobs supported Android version 4.0 and above. There are apps for Windows Phone and BlackBerry (OS 10 and older). iOS support declared with version 7.0.

After installation of the main application can proceed to download the browser extensions (supported Safari, Chrome and Firefox). Expansion does not work as long as the client Enpass not put a tick in the box "Enable browser extensions." Synchronizing with the database occurs without entries in the browser. also did not remain in the cookie.

Of course, Enpass can record user accounts and passwords from the browser using the extension. For this purpose there hotkey (default - Ctrl + /). On this nice features of the program does not end there. Enpass can and some other interesting things. For example, when idle (in the absence of treatment program to the window, and in a simple desktop) application is locked and requires the input of the master password (by default - 1 minute). Clipboard is also cleared automatically, you can adjust the time delay.

In addition to working with user accounts on a web form, Enpass offers a huge number of templates to store passwords, confidential information from all the world: passport data, the data of credit and debit cards, and more another. Templates are sorted initially for use in a separate folder (you can create your own templates and folders with a set templates): when choosing a particular form, for example, to store the login and password for the computer account immediately gets into a folder destination.

The app is completely free for all desktop platforms. To set the need to enter an email address to which the automatic response will come with the download link. Unfortunately, customers for the mobile operating systems have a limit of 20 stored passwords, which removed one-time payment.
