The password management app developer Enpassannounced an update todaywhich enables full-time Windows Hello Support for the Microsoft Surface Book and Surface Pro 4. Today’s update brings the Enpass UWP app to version 5.2 and can be downloaded now on PC, mobile device or even HoloLens.

The latest version enables full-time support for Windows Hello on Windows 10 PCs with TPM chips. This means you can unlock the app just using Windows Hello, and not the master password, even when the device or app has just been restarted. While this feature works with Windows 10 PCs with TPM chips, as Enpass points out at this point that essentially means just the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4, for now.

Today’s update also brings a few other new features like Secondary Tiles Support for items you want to access frequently from the start menu. The complete list of what’s new and improved includes:

Lumia 950 and 950 XL owners might be wondering what is so new about this update. That is because Enpass already enabled full-time support for Windows 10 Mobile phones with TPM chipsback in June. In today’s announcement, Enpass explains they know it took awhile to bring this to Surface devices. This was because they wanted to do the job right, not just do it quickly. They detailed the security hurdles they had to overcome to enable full-time Windows Hello support in a blog post you can readhere.

Password management apps are an easy way to centralize all of your various passwords. And since these apps can remember and enter your passwords for you, you can more readily use long, complicated, and random alphanumeric strings for passwords that are much tougher to crack by sheer brute force. So if you are looking to either upgrade your password security, or simplify managing your ever growing list of passwords, you can pick up Enpass version 5.2 from the appbox below.
