Introduction
If you have forgotten your Master Password, lost access to your Linked apps and browsers, and/or lost the Recovery Code, you can regain access to the Business vault. You can do this through the NordPass application.
Here's what to do
If you have the recovery code
- Log in to your NordPass account.
- Depending on your access, click one of these options: "Forgot your Master Password?", "Biometrics not working?", "Forgot your PIN?", or "Can't access your linked browser or app?".
- Find your recovery code. The recovery code is a 24-character code you were able to receive on the application “Settings” page.
- Enter your 24-character recovery code and select the "Continue" button.
- Depending on your organization settings and Decryption method, NordPass will ask you to:
- Create a new Master Password
- Enroll a new linked app or browser
- After completing these steps, your account will be accessible again.
If you do not have the recovery code
- Log in to your NordPass account.
- Depending on your access, click one of these options: "Forgot your Master Password?", "Biometrics not working?", "Forgot your PIN?", or "Can't access your linked browser or app?".
- Next, select the "Forgot Recovery code?" button.
- Confirm that you understand you will not be able to access NordPass until your recovery request is approved by selecting the "Continue" button.
- Depending on your organization settings and Decryption method, NordPass will ask you to:
- Create a new Master Password
- Enroll a new linked app or browser.
- Once completed, you will receive a four‑digit confirmation code. Share this code with your organization Owner when they ask for it.
- The organization owner will need to approve your request.
- Once approved, you will receive a confirmation email. From then on, you can use your new Master Password or the newly enrolled linked app or browser to access NordPass.
Additional tips
- If the only organization owner loses the Master Password and doesn't have recovery codes, contact the Customer Support team.
- Never reuse old passwords, and create a strong Master Password that is 12 characters, includes uppercase and lowercase letters, and mixes special characters and numbers.
- If recovery is completed via a linked app or browser, only that app or browser will remain approved - you will need to link other apps and browsers again.
