Passwords and codes

In this article, you will learn about the different types of passwords that NordPass requires for logging in:

  • Nord Account password: This password is used for logging in to your Nord Account via https://nordaccount.com/.  The same password applies to all Nord products, including NordPass, NordVPN, and NordLocker.
    •  Alternatively, you can use a 6-digit code sent to your email address for logging in. 

  • Master Password: This password is exclusively used in the NordPass application. It is the most important password because it unlocks your encrypted NordPass vault. 

  • Recovery Code: This unique 24-symbol code can be used to reset your Master Password, and it can be generated via the NordPass application. Learn how to generate a new recovery code.

  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): When the MFA feature is enabled, you will be prompted to enter an authentication code. This code can be found in the authentication application (e.g. Authy) on a mobile device, which you use when setting up MFA.
