Autofill via subdomain

What is a subdomain?

A subdomain is a separate section of a website identified by a unique prefix added to the main domain name. For example, the help center article you’re currently reading is hosted on the subdomain "support." of the domain "nordpass.com."

What is the subdomain matching feature for?

The subdomain matching feature simplifies managing autofill suggestions for websites with subdomains in their addresses. So, rather than cluttering autofill suggestions with all items, this feature ensures that you only see the password item that matches the subdomain you're browsing at that moment.

How does subdomain matching work?

Let’s say you have multiple password items stored in NordPass that use the same domain — example.com — but different subdomains:

A one.example.com 

B x.one.example.com

C one.example.com:1000

D example.com

Using the subdomain matching feature, you can match any subdomain of example.com with any saved NordPass autofill suggestion.

That way, you can eliminate the need to sift through suggestions to figure out which password to choose. Instead, only one correct option will be suggested, streamlining the process for greater readability and efficiency.
