What NordPass Offers
Credential Storing and Automatic Save Prompts
NordPass offers basic password saving features to allow users to memorialize all their login credentials in one secure online vault that is protected by XChaCha20 encryption and stored in the cloud. The vault is then protected with extra security, such as MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and biometric login.
Saving passwords with one click (everytime you login, NordPass prompts you to save passwords), easily importing passwords (NordPass automatically detects passwords in your browser, so you can upload them instantly) and accessing passwords from a browser are just some of the features NordPass offers.
Share Passwords With Colleagues
If you need to share saved credentials with a family member or a colleague, then all you need to do with NordPass is click on a few buttons and the loginwill be shared automatically with another NordPass user. This feature is only available to Premium Users, however, it is possible for a premium user to share a password with a free user.
Push Your Desktop Passwords Online
NordPass isn’t only capable of saving your online login credentials, however. The tool also offers a number of desktop background services—including one for Ubuntu that can be installed by simply running a Bash script after extracting the download folder.
The service will automatically push saved credentials to the cloud. These can be shared with colleagues just as if they were a login to a web program.
Finally, NordPass also offers autocomplete and password prompt functionalities. If you are at the login page of a service with a stored credential, then the browser extension will automatically present the credential to the user—who only needs to click on the credential in order to fill it out. This is unlike several other password managers in which users need to manually enter the login URL for the system to work automatically.
Quickly Import From Other Password Managers And Browsers
If you’re currently using another password management tool then there’s no need to have to go through the painstaking process of manually copying over login credentials.
Instead, NordPass has developed a series of automatic importers for a wide variety of browser and competitor password managers.
The list of supported services includes most password managers in the market.
The following browsers are supported:
- Chrome
- Firefox
- Opera
- Edge
- Brave
- Safari
Additionally, users have the option to upload a comma separated values (CSV) file if the only way they have their credentials stored is on a datasheet.
Passwords Are Safe Thanks to Zero Knowledge Architecture
Nord proudly advertises that it uses zero-knowledge architecture (also sometimes called zero proof architecture) in order to securely save users’ credentials on its servers.
This means that the company’s own teams do not have raw (human readable) access to users’ stored credentials. Instead, they are encrypted locally so that on that they would only be visible in the case of a manual compliance request.
For users that are worried about Nord employees being able to access the things they save online it should be a relief to know that from a technical standpoint this simply isn’t possible.
NordPass for Business

With NordPass Business, your employees can store all their login credentials in a single place.

Ease of Use
NordPass is an extremely user-friendly and intuitive app to use. There are two main components to it—the browser extension and the desktop sync client.
Installing the browser extensions—available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge—is quick and easy as the download links are all conveniently situated within the online account management portal.
Of course, users are also able to install them directly themselves by accessing the browsers’ online app markets. NordPass app is also accessible on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
What’s more, NordPass can be accessed via web vault - that way, users can utilize most of the features and functionalities without having to install an app.
We installed the desktop sync client for Ubuntu and installed it seamlessly on a test machine running the latest distro, 19.10.
Detection Rates
NordPass is able to detect and upload all identifiable credentials—irrespective of whether they come from online or offline sources. NordPass Data Breach scanner can help to identify leaked passwords and weak passwords. That’s especially handy as NordPass scans the whole vault to identify users’ security risks.
Additionally, the tool can automatically generate usernames and passwords that are extremely strong and which would be extremely difficult to crack by brute force methods.
