How to reset NordPass Business Account from the Owner's perspective

 

Once the user sends an account recovery request to the Organization’s Owner, the owner needs to log in to Admin Panel. In the Members section, Recoveries tab there will be a new request with two options:

  • To approve the account recovery:
    When the account recovery is approved, the new Master Password and Recovery Code will replace the old ones. The user will be notified that they can now access their vault with the new Master Password. 

  • To deny the account recovery:
    When denied, the Account Recovery request is deleted. The user will be notified that the request was not approved. A new request can be sent at any time but in case this happens again, we would suggest contacting the Organization’s Owner first. 

 

What happens if the owner takes no action in 5 days?

If the owner takes no action in 5 days, the account recovery request will expire. In case this happens, the user will be notified via email. The user can send a new recovery request at any time but in case this happens again, we would suggest contacting the Organization’s Owner first.

Where can I find my new Recovery Code?

You can only get the Recovery Code from the NordPass application in the same device where account recovery was initiated. In case you can’t find the Recovery Code, you can always generate a new one in the applications' Settings.
