From Password Policy to Practice: Enpass Helps Businesses Get Passwords Strong

Most security breaches don’t start with complex hacks. They often begin with something simple, like a weak or reused password.

Companies set password policies to protect against this, but many don’t have a way to know if employees are actually following them. Some employees may create passwords that don’t meet the company’s requirements, while others reuse the same password on multiple accounts. These habits quietly increase risk across the organization.

This update gives admins a way to put password policy into practice. Enpass now let them set password rules as per their company’s policy and see whether those rules are actually being followed. It’s the difference between having a policy and knowing it’s being followed.

Stronger Enforcement of Password Policies

IT teams define password rules such as length, complexity, and expiration as part of their organization’s password policy. But without a way to apply those rules inside a password manager, it’s hard to enforce them consistently. Enpass helps bridge that gap by allowing admins to add those policies directly into the app.

Still, even with policies in place and despite regular security awareness trainings and repeated reminders, most companies don’t know which employees are following the rules and which aren’t. Without visibility, enforcement becomes a guessing game.

Previously, Enpass offered password generator policies, allowing admins to enforce strong password creation through the built-in password generator. But since employees could still create passwords manually, it left a gap. Admins had no way of knowing who was bypassing those standards.

Now, Enpass closes that gap. If a saved password doesn’t meet company rules, it’s marked as a “Rule Violating Password.” These violations show up in both the employee’s app and the admin’s Security Audit Dashboard. That means employees get clear guidance, and admins get full visibility.

Detecting SSO Password Reuse, Before It Becomes a Problem

A single sign-on (SSO) password isn’t just another login. It’s the single key that unlocks all company approved apps and systems. If that key is reused elsewhere and one of those sites is compromised, attackers don’t just get access to one service. They get access to everything.

That’s why Enpass now goes beyond flagging identical passwords. With this update, it specifically detects when an employee’s SSO domain password is reused on other accounts, separating these cases from standard identical password alerts.

This type of reuse is often invisible to IT, yet it’s one of the most critical risks to catch early. Enpass now flags these high-risk cases in the Security Audit Dashboard, giving admins clear insight and the opportunity to respond before an exposed SSO password leads to a serious security incident.

This update is built around a simple idea. You can’t fix what you can’t see. Enpass now gives admins a complete view of password policy violations and SSO password reuse, right inside the Admin’s Security Audit Dashboard. It’s easier to detect violations, understand where attention is needed, and help teams build better password habits.

Final Thought

Setting password policies is a good first step. What makes them truly effective is being able to apply those rules inside the password manager and see who’s actually following them.

This update helps IT teams move beyond assumptions and into action with smarter detection, clear visibility, and control. It makes sure password policies aren’t just written but actually work in practice.

Enpass now gives admins the clarity they need to manage password risks with confidence. Passwords may still be the weakest link, but admins finally have a much stronger way to manage them.
