The best free password managers of 2024: Expert tested
NordPass is the password manager from Nord Security, the cybersecurity company behind NordVPN and secure cloud storage service NordLocker. Its free tier offers the essentials of password management: unlimited password storage with autosave and autofill, a built-in password generator, and passkey support, all in a user-friendly interface that’s consistent across platforms.
NordPass’s most significant limitation is that you can only be logged into your vault on one device at a time — accessing your account via mobile app will log you out on desktop, and vice versa. This is more of a minor inconvenience for most users, as it simply requires logging back into your vault using your master password, biometrics, or one-time code when you switch devices. NordPass is multi-platform, with apps for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux and extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Edge.
While signing up for NordPass does require you to create a universal Nord Account login in addition to a master password for your vault, you can access all of Nord Security’s tools under the same credentials. Like other trusted password managers, NordPass uses strong encryption and has undergone an independent security audit. You can also enable multi-factor authentication as an extra measure to protect your vault.
NordPass’s intuitive platform on its free tier is a good choice for users new to password management who don’t mind having to log in with each device switch. Note, though, that if you want any extra features like security monitoring, file storage, or emergency access, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid account, which starts at $1.39 per month for a single user.
