#### Offline Password Manager and Secure Vault. Saves and fill in all your passwords, cards and other details.

**DUE TO SNAP RESTRICTIONS, THIS VERSION STILL HAS 2 ISSUES:**

* The System-wide hotkey command is incorrect, use `enpass showassistant`
* To use the **browser extension**, allow all permissions in the Store by clicking the **"Permissions"** button above! If you are installing from the terminal, use the following commands:

`snap connect enpass:network-observe`

`snap connect enpass:system-observe`

The Enpass Team is working on resolving these issues.

Our everyday life is filled with too many passwords and various types of credentials, right? So, what are you doing to manage it?

* Using the same password everywhere? … Stop it NOW!
* Writing them in notes or encrypted excel? … Copy/paste is lethargic.
* Saving them in browsers? … Sorry, no attachments!
* Using an online password manager? … Are they safe from hackers??

Use Enpass to securely organize everything at one place. And the best thing, none of your Enpass data is stored on our servers, instead, it is stored locally on your device and you can sync through your own trusted cloud account, all ENCRYPTED!!

Using the Desktop version is ABSOLUTELY FREE.

FOR ENPASS, SECURITY IS PARAMOUNT

* ♦Zero-Knowledge security architecture- None of your data is stored on our servers, so as a developer, we have no knowledge about your passwords or data.
* ♦Keyfile as a second factor- Along with master password you can also use a keyfile to encrypt your data.
* ♦Password Audit- Stay safe with the built-in password auditor that keeps a regular check on your pwned, weak and old passwords.

* ♦Cloud Synchronization- With Enpass, you can choose to sync your data across devices through your account on iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box or WebDAV (ownCloud, NextCloud etc).

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Enpass

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
