How to reset NordPass account

If you have lost your NordPass Master Password and Recovery Code, you can regain access to NordPass by fully resetting your account.

 

Please note that this reset will delete all of your NordPass items. 

 

Here are the steps on how to reset the NordPass account

  1. First, fill out the NordPass account reset form to request a full account reset. Alternatively, you can also contact our customer support team and let our team know why you want to do a full reset.

  2. Our support team will send you a reset link to your NordPass email address. If you can't find the letter, make sure to check spam/junk folders in your inbox:

  6. You will get another letter confirming that your NordPass vault has been reset. In the same letter, you will also receive a request ID to cancel the reset in case you find your Master Password or Recovery Code. You will have 7 days to cancel the reset. After that, your vault will be deleted permanently.

  7. After resetting, open NordPass and log in to your Nord Account (this password was not reset). If you lost your Nord Account password, you can reset it here

  8. Go back to NordPass and create a new Master Password. Also, remember to generate your Recovery Code
