Nordpass

#1 - The Signup Process

Once you’ve chosen a plan, you will be able to download and install NordPass onto your mobile device or desktop computer. You’ll have to use a web browser for the first-time installation in order to initialize the program and activate your account. This is a one-time process. When the program has been installed, you should receive a six-digit code, which verifies the account. Once that has been completed, you’ll be requested to choose a master password for the program. Data can be imported from Dashlane, Firefox, Chrome, and many more. Since the NordPass extensions and apps are so user-friendly, it makes them an appealing trait for the platform too.

NordPass offers a very simple layout and format; it’s especially useful for beginners and those with very limited experience with password managers. There’s a back-to-basics feel with NordPass Password Manager, but it’s great because it’s appealing. Users will welcome the simplicity of the program as it is extremely easy to navigate. You can find short-cuts to features such as a trash folder, secure notes, and logins to the left-hand side of the screen. However, NordPass works in the background (you use the web browser the same as before) so you never even notice it after a little while.

#2 - Membership Plans

There are several membership plans available. If you were to opt for a 1-month rolling plan, it costs $4.99 per month, with the option to cancel the service at any time. There is also a 1-year plan which is $2.99 per month, this cuts costs considerably over the course of the year. However, there is also a 2-year plan and that essentially costs $2.49 a month, with a one-off payment taken for the two-year subscription period. You’re saving 50% with the 2-year plan and it is great for those who want to use the service for the long-haul.

Premium (paid) plans to run with six devices and offer data-sharing features, along with auto-fill and autosave, data synchronization, password strength checker, and generator. All plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so NordPass must be confident in their packages. However, it’s good to know there’s a money-back offer in place. It’s a smart idea and shows great initiative as well. They accept payment via cryptocurrencies, Amazon Pay, and Credit Cards such as Visa, American Express, MasterCard, and Discover. Local payment options are also accepted.   

NordPass does offer a free subscription service and it’s really quite impressive. Of course, it’s limited in terms of what it can offer, but is good, nonetheless. It works with one device and comes with autosave and auto filler features, as well as the password generator and checker too. Despite it being a free membership, it offers so much and is appealing on so many levels. It’s ideal for those who don’t need to use the program a lot or just want to test the waters out. You’re getting quite a lot for nothing so it’s interesting.

Also, it may be possible to get a combo or bundle package when you have NordLocker or NordVPN.

#3 - Features

• NordPass Password Manager offers high-end encryption for all its users – whether they’re on a free or paid plan – and allows passwords to be stored safely, along with credit card information and other sensitive data. Users also have access to a password checker which reviews the strength of the password chosen. If the program doesn’t think the password is suitable enough, (for example, 1, 2, 3, 4,) it’ll let you know.

• Can’t think of a new password? NordPass also offers a password generator and will suggest a new one for you – on the spot – no waiting! As most will know, coming up with a new password isn’t easy, but NordPass makes it easy with its password generator tool. Overall, it’s a nice program to work with and the two-factor authentication is a nifty addition along with their privacy guarantee. NordPass makes managing passwords and sensitive information an effortless process.

• All passwords are kept confidential – NordPass don’t even know your master password. Master passwords aren’t stored by NordPass, which is incredible really because most services like this would store them somewhere. However, they don’t do it and it’s something that stands out above all else. It’s additional privacy and security for users and is so important because it makes it more secure and trustworthy too. Xchacha20 secures the data and is all locally encrypted also; and Argon 2 for key derivation.

• Customer support is fairly decent as well. Yes, there’s no Live Chat features as yet, but, there’s 24/7 email support, if needed, and that’s fantastic. If you didn’t want to wait for a response, you could always check out the help guides and articles provided by NordPass. However, most issues are minor and can be resolved in little time too. Of course, everything about the program is automated and so that makes it more impressive when it comes to getting things done quickly.

#4 - Compatibility

NordPass is a mostly web-based program, but that doesn’t stop users across all platforms from using it. NordPass is compatible with a range of web browsers such as Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Vivaldi, and Opera. It’s also available on Mac OS, Linux, and Windows operating systems.

However, NordPass is mobile-friendly and that makes a huge difference since more people go online via their smart devices. Remember, people are doing more with their smartphone, so it’s necessary to have sufficient security in place to stop hackers from getting access to your sensitive information. NordPass Password Manager can help prevent unwanted visitors from accessing your data and is available on many platforms such as Android and iOS.

Passwords are kept secure and only you have access to them. If you wanted to share your passwords with anyone, you choose who. NordPass makes going online easier. You can store credit card information and check out faster; however, it’s also safe, secure, and extremely user-friendly! You don’t often see a package like that, so it’s interesting to see how NordPass has achieved it. Auto fills and saves are ideal for faster shopping too.
