NordPass offers paid plans for teams and families as well as a free plan (Image credit: NordPass) Plans and pricing Biometric security can be added where supported – FaceID on an iPhone, or a fingerprint reader for other smartphones, for example – and it's good to see that two-factor authentication is supported for your NordPass account as well as the accounts you're storing passwords for. The increasingly well-respected XChaCha20 encryption algorithm is used, which is also a favorite of companies like Google and Cloudflare: it goes up to 256-bit encryption and is seen (by some at least) as a more future proof solution than the AES-256 encryption commonly used elsewhere.

For a start it deploys a zero knowledge approach, with end-to-end encryption for your password backups and data syncing – that means not even the NordPass team can see the data that you've got saved (and it also means that if you forget your master password and the backup recovery code you'll need to reset your account and start again from scratch- yes it is really that secure). NordPass comes packed with features to protect your security both in its password manager and online (Image credit: NordPass) SecurityĪs you would expect from a developer that also offers a VPN, NordPass has a tight security setup.
We appreciate the clean interface that is well laid out, and easy to use.
It would be nice to have a few more organizational tools – like tags for particular groups of data as well as just folders – but overall the apps are easy to get around and make it clear where to find everything. When it comes to managing your account, logging in and accessing your settings, passwords, and other stored information is very straightforward. Following this theme, you can even streamline online shopping by letting NordPass input your credit card details and shipping info for a smoother checkout. The little helpful touches spread throughout were much appreciated, including the way you can customize generated passwords (by their length or by turning off characters that can be misread as something else, for example).
#Nordpass firefox software#
The software does a really good job of hiding itself away in the background and only popping up discreetly when needed, and we had no complaints in terms of getting our passwords synced across multiple devices (it only takes a second or two usually).Įffortless is a good way of describing the overall NordPass experience, and it soon starts to feel like a native feature on whatever platform you happen to be using it on. Speaking of simplicity, the process of signing up for the service and getting the various apps installed couldn't be much easier. Everything is built to be user-friendly and accessible, and from the interface perspective it's a password manager that will suit users at all levels of technical know-how. NordPass can be used as a standalone app or as a browser extension (Image credit: Future) Interface and in useĮverything about the NordPass interface is smooth and elegant, from the initial sign-up page to the apps you're going to be installing as you get the software set up – it's actually one of the most polished experiences we've seen lately. The first one is a Data Breach Scanner (opens in new tab) which, as its name implies "Scans the web to see if the user’s data has been compromised in any breaches." The other one is called Password Health, which "Helps users identify vulnerable passwords," a function that Google also offers to all Google account users. NordPass also has multiple security features. For example, to have a record of a Wi-Fi password, or a code for a safe, you can secure it with NordPass’ Secure Notes feature. NordPass can also keep secure items that are not just an online password. The various online options are good though, including a very well laid out help center that you can get at through the NordPass website, and which should answer most of the basic questions you've got, for example the common scenarios such as being “Unable to log in to NordPass” and “Disabling the Edge password manager.” The customer support is fairly standard – you get round-the-clock email support, but there's no way to call directly (phone, fax, toll free or otherwise) if you get into trouble (an all too common practice for a service like this).
