Sharing individual Items with other Enpass users

Sharing individual Items with other Enpass users creates a copy on the recipient’s device that is not linked to the original. Your original and their copy will not remain synced.

To securely share individual Items, you must first create a secret password — called a pre-shared key (PSK) — known only to you, and provided to your recipients so they can unlock the encrypted Item when they receive it. Importing a shared Item requires the recipient to provide this PSK.

How does encrypted sharing work?

  • Create a PSK.
  • Share the PSK with your recipients via any secure method.
  • Follow the steps below to share a PSK-protected item from your Enpass vault.
  • Recipients must enter the PSK in order to add your shared items to their Enpass vaults.

To share an Item in an encrypted format after creating a PSK:

  1. In the Item Details view, click ⋮ in the top-right corner, and select Share.
  2. Use the on/off toggles to select the fields to be shared.
  3. Select your recipient from the Share with drop-down list.
  4. Click Share, then select either Email or Copy to Clipboard.
    Choose the option Email or Copy to Clipboard while sharing an Item from Enpass

Selecting Email will launch your email and open a Compose window pre-populated with instructions and an encrypted link. That link will launch the recipient’s Enpass app, then ask for the PSK before importing the shared Item.

Copy to Clipboard will put that same information on your clipboard, to be pasted into whatever app you’re using send this item to your recipient.

If you’re sharing an item that includes attachments and want those attachments shared as well, use the email option.
