Additional tips

  • At the moment, you can't import or export NordPass passkeys to password managers. We’re working to bring that as soon as possible.
  • After the import is complete, we suggest deleting the file containing your exported passwords, as it is not safe to keep it decrypted on your device. Additionally, once comfortable with NordPass, we highly recommend cleaning up and removing passwords from old password managers to prevent confusion.
