Searching in Enpass

Use the search bar at the top of Enpass to quickly find the specific items. Searches can also be fine-tuned to look only at item titles, to search all fields except passwords, and to search specifically password fields. Passkeys are not searchable.

  • Choosing Fields will yield search results from any fields except the password fields.
    • If you search for "Gmail," you'll see your Gmail accounts, but also any items where the email field includes your Gmail account.
  • Choosing Passwords will yield search results based only on the contents of your passwords.
    • If you search for "Kt@34HK," you'll see only items that have passwords containing that string of characters.
