Frequently asked questions about NordPass
Is NordPass a good fit for my family?
The family plans of NordPass typically allow 5–6 accounts that store passwords independently but can share key items (Wi-Fi password, streaming logins).
Are my passwords really encrypted?
Yes. NordPass uses zero-knowledge architecture: even the vendor cannot see your passwords. Encryption is AES-256 or XChaCha20 – both currently considered secure.
What happens if I forget my master password?
You usually lose all stored passwords – the price of zero-knowledge architecture. NordPass offers a recovery key as fallback that you should print and store safely during setup.
Does NordPass work with every browser?
Yes. NordPass ships extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge and Brave. On iOS and Android it provides a dedicated app that integrates with the system autofill.
Can I store secure notes, credit cards or documents too?
Yes. Besides passwords, NordPass encrypts credit cards, identities, secure notes and (depending on plan) documents – all unlocked with the same master password.
