Using website icons in Enpass

When creating a new Enpass Item, if you include a website address, Enpass can automatically fetch the site’s logo to use as the icon for your Item. These icons are usually the same small logo you see in your browser tab when visiting that site.

Appearance of website icons

  • When you enable website icons, the Enpass app connects to our servers to fetch a saved icon based only the website’s URL.
  • Enpass performs this process anonymously, and does not collect any information about you or your device.
  • The style, quality, and resolution of website icons depend on what images are made available by each site as “favicons” (the small logos you see browser tabs and bookmarks).

You can also use your own custom icon for any Item in Enpass. Enabling website icons does not affect any item with custom icon already selected.

Syncing of website icons across devices

Custom icons are synced between devices, but website icons are not because they are fetched and stored by the individual device. To use website icons in Enpass across all your devices, you need to enable the feature on each devices individually.

Visibility of website icons for certain Items

Enpass stores thousands of website icons on its servers to speed up the process of fetching icons. For sites not already accounted for, Enpass will attempt to fetch compatible icons, but if none are available or discoverable, the app will default back to the icon the Item had already.
