# Enpass alternative: MoolKey vs Enpass

> Enpass keeps your vault on your own devices and syncs it through cloud storage you already own. MoolKey removes the vault entirely, so there is nothing to place anywhere.

## Short answer

Enpass appeals to people who dislike vendor-hosted vaults. MoolKey answers the same discomfort in a different way: not a vault you control, but no vault of generated credentials.

Choose MoolKey if you would rather have no vault than a vault you have to place and sync yourself.

Choose Enpass if you want a vault you host, with imports, attachments, and autofill.

## How Enpass works

Enpass stores an encrypted vault locally and syncs it through your own Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or WebDAV account, so the company never hosts your data.

## What changes with MoolKey

- **No vault to place anywhere:** There is no file to store in your own cloud, and no sync account to configure.
- **It creates numeric PINs:** Use PIN mode for a bank card, phone, voicemail, or another account that asks for digits.
- **Works without internet:** Create a password or PIN with no connection at all.
- **Free for everyday use:** No one-time licence and no subscription for creating passwords and PINs.

## MoolKey vs Enpass at a glance

| Everyday choice | MoolKey | Enpass |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Saves your passwords | No | Yes, in a vault you host |
| Needs sync configuration | No | Yes, via your own cloud |
| Company holds a copy of your passwords | No copy exists | No, you host the vault |
| Creates numeric PINs | Yes | Not as a separate tool |
| Fills sign-in forms | Copy and paste | Yes |
| Recovery if you forget | No | Restore from your own backup |

## Where Enpass may suit you better

- **Enpass lets you restore from backup:** Because the vault is a file you hold, a backup can bring everything back. MoolKey has nothing to restore.
- **Enpass fills sign-in forms:** Autofill across browsers and mobile is included. MoolKey asks you to copy and paste.
- **Enpass stores more item types:** Notes, cards, identities, and attachments all fit in an Enpass vault.

## How to switch one account at a time

1. Pick one account and create a new MoolKey password. Change the password inside that account instead of trying to move the whole vault.
2. Sign out and confirm the new password works. Test the same inputs on another device if cross-device access matters to you.
3. Remove the old saved copy only after the new sign-in works. Repeat the process when you naturally return to the next account.
