Who makes NordPass
NordPass is made by Nord Security. NordPass describes itself as "part of Nord Security — the team behind NordVPN" (NordPass (opens in a new tab)), and Nord Security's company timeline (opens in a new tab) records that it launched NordPass, NordLocker and NordLayer in 2019. Nord Security's trademark guidelines (opens in a new tab) say the Nord marks are "the exclusive property of NordSec B.V. and/or its affiliates". Other Nord Security brands include NordVPN and NordLayer.
NordPass runs on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux, as a web vault and from a command-line tool, with browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Edge. Business users store "passkeys, notes, payment card details, and other important information in their own encrypted, private vault" (NordPass Business (opens in a new tab)).

NordPass's plans support article (opens in a new tab) describes Teams as "Our most affordable plan for small companies or teams with up to 10 members". How to choose: Teams suits a group of up to 10 people that shares logins and signs in with Google Workspace. Business adds Password Health, shared folders, groups and domain breach monitoring for a growing organisation. Enterprise is the plan for Microsoft Entra ID or Okta: single sign-on and automatic user access management from your directory, plus SIEM integration.

NordPass security
NordPass builds its vault on the xChaCha20 cipher and a zero-knowledge architecture. These are the security points NordPass publishes for its business product:
| Area | What NordPass says |
|---|---|
| Encryption | "xChaCha20-encrypted vault" on every plan |
| Architecture | "From zero-knowledge architecture to XChaCha20 encryption"; the vault is "backed by biometrics, MFA, and zero-knowledge architecture" |
| Certifications | "NordPass Business also holds both ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications" (NordPass (opens in a new tab)); NordPass also shows a Cure53 audit and HIPAA badge |
| Audit evidence | "The Activity Log gives you a clear record of changes made across the company vault", and NordPass connects with Vanta "making it easier to gather evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other audits" (NordPass Business (opens in a new tab)) |
The NCSC's advice when choosing a third-party password manager is to "pick a reputable company with a strong security track record" and to enable two-step verification for the account (NCSC (opens in a new tab)). Our guide are password managers safe? explains what zero-knowledge encryption protects.
Password Health and the Data Breach Scanner for admins
Two NordPass features give admins visibility without exposing staff passwords:
- Password Health (opens in a new tab) checks for exposed, weak, reused and old passwords. For businesses, weak passwords are judged "based on your company's Password Policy", and for old passwords NordPass says "For NordPass Business users, only the end user can view the specific passwords – admins only see that a password is flagged as 'Old.'"
- Data Breach Scanner (opens in a new tab) finds out whether email addresses, credentials, card details or ID numbers have appeared in a breach. "Admins can add company domains to the Data Breach Scanner to monitor for breaches involving work email addresses", and "The scan happens locally, on your device, so NordPass never sees your unencrypted data"
Business covers one company domain in the Data Breach Scanner and Enterprise up to ten, so count your email domains, including those of brands or subsidiaries, before you choose. Our business password policy guide covers the policy that Password Health measures against.

Secure Notes, Email Masking and the Authenticator
NordPass stores more than website logins, which suits IT and operations teams:
| Feature | What it is for | NordPass's description |
|---|---|---|
| Secure Notes (opens in a new tab) | API keys, database credentials, tokens, SSH keys, certificates and internal documentation | Notes can be shared "with specific team members using granular permissions (view, edit, share)"; NordPass says they suit teams "that don't need a full secrets manager" |
| Email Masking (opens in a new tab) | Signing up to online services without giving out a real address | "Emails sent to the mask can be forwarded to your main inbox or blocked entirely" |
| NordPass Authenticator | Two-factor codes for shared accounts | "keeps 2FA codes next to shared login details" (NordPass Business (opens in a new tab)) |
| Sharing Hub (Enterprise) | Tracking what has been shared, with whom | Admins "can assign custom access permissions and set time limits, while keeping track of shared items via the Sharing Hub" |
NordPass's Shared Folders keep a team's logins in step: "When a password changes, it updates automatically for everyone with access" (NordPass (opens in a new tab)). For sharing practice in general, see share passwords securely.
Moving to NordPass Business, and NordPass for MSPs
From a personal account. NordPass's plans FAQ says that to move a personal account to Business "you can purchase the new plan using your current account", and that "This switch will not remove any items currently stored in your personal vault." That helps when a founder or a team has started on personal NordPass accounts.
From another password manager. Password Import is on every business plan, and our switch password manager guide covers exporting from browsers and other tools.
For IT providers. NordPass for MSPs (opens in a new tab) is described as "the seamless, multi-tenant password management solution tailored for MSPs", with a multi-tenant MSP Admin Panel and integrations for identity and access management, provisioning, PSA, compliance automation and SIEM tools.
