FEATURES

According to a study conducted by NordPass, the average person has around 100 passwords. Can you imagine trying to memorize all these passwords? Fortunately, managing all your passwords is a breeze with NordPass's core features:

Password Generator

- helps you create strong, unique, and unpredictable passwords. Say goodbye to birthdays and pet names!
Autofill Passwords
- generate unique passwords, save them with NordPass, and then forget about it. Every time you log in to your favorite websites or online accounts, NordPass will auto-fill your saved credentials and automatically log you in. No need to manually type, copy, or paste passwords!
Built-in OCR Scanner
- still typing your credit card details when checking out items in your shopping cart? Thanks to NordPass's OCR scanner feature, you don’t have to do that anymore. Using the app on your phone, you can scan and input your credit card details easily!
Secure Notes
- lets you save more than just passwords. You can save shipping addresses, WiFi passwords, alarm system codes, bank account numbers, insurance details, software keys, and more!
Autofill Online Forms
- filling out forms can be tedious and time-consuming. Nordpass automatically fills forms with your name, email address, phone number, address, or payment information.
Folders
- you can now create separate folders for your social media accounts, personal, work logins, shopping apps, gaming platforms, banking sites, and more.
Import Passwords
- got passwords saved in your browser or other password managers? Import those credentials in just a few clicks.
Web Vault
- this comes in handy when, for some reason, you don't have the device with the NordPass app with you. You can log in from a friend or a co-worker's computer and access your saved data without installing the app!

ARE THERE ANY EXTRAS?

It sounds like a lot already but NordPass has a few other useful features:

Data Breach Scanner

- a nifty little feature that scans the web and alerts you if any of your saved information has been compromised in a breach.
Password Health Tool
- Using weak passwords or, worst, reusing the same one you've had for years makes you vulnerable to hacking, phishing, keylogging, brute force attacks, and more. NordPass's password health feature helps identify weak, old, and reused passwords and prompts you to change these into something stronger and more secure.
Trusted Contacts
- perfect for the remote work environment; this feature lets you share passwords and other work account credentials in an encrypted channel. Forget sharing passwords over messenger apps, emails, or post-it notes!
Emergency Access
- lets you grant family or a trusted friend read-only access to your passwords, and other saved notes should something happen to you.

IS IT SAFE AND RELIABLE?

Yes! Not only has it completed and passed an independent security audit by Cure53, NordPass also uses XChaCha20 to encrypt your password vault. This algorithm is generally faster than AES and is now used by many tech giants like Google and Cloudflare.

It also has zero-knowledge cloud storage, which means not even NordPass can see any of your saved data. Furthermore, it utilizes various authentication methods, including authenticator apps, security keys, and backup codes. You can even unlock your vault using fingerprint or Face ID!

COMPATIBLE PLATFORMS AND EASE OF USE

Everything from installing, setting up your master password, importing passwords, and getting started with NordPass is a quick and straightforward affair. During our review, all of the desktop and mobile apps worked really well too! NordPass lets you sync across 6 different devices so you can access them from anywhere and anytime — on Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, or Linux. NordPass also offers extensions for Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Brave, Edge, and Opera, so you can manage your passwords even as you browse.
