How to change passwords using NordPass

This guide outlines how to use the NordPass Password Generator to create new and highly secure passwords for your accounts — and how to securely store those passwords in NordPass.

 

Start by logging into the account for which you want to change the password with your current username and password. Navigate to account settings, where you can change the password. Alternatively, the "Forgot password" feature allows you to reset your current password and create a new one. For quick and secure password creation, we recommend using the NordPass Password Generator.

 

Opening Password Generator

 

There are a few ways to open the NordPass Password Generator.

  1. Click the NordPass browser extension icon, go to Tools, and then select Password Generator. You can find NordPass in the Extensions folder, it is usually located on the right of the address/search bar.
  2. You can also open the Password Generator in the application. You will find it under the Tools section in your NordPass app.

 

Using Password Generator

 

Once you open the NordPass Password Generator, you will see a few options and filters that you can set up there. Let’s look at them in more detail:


 

1. History — your generated passwords that were copied or saved will appear here.

2. Generate — click this button to generate a new password.

3. Copy — this will copy your password to a clipboard. After that, you can paste the password into a website, NordPass, or any other place on your device.

4. Save — clicking the Save button will open a new item window in NordPass where the generated password will be already entered. Lastly, you need to choose a title and enter a username with the website address. 

 

Changing your passwords

 

  1. Copy the newly generated password into the website and confirm the change.

  2. In most cases, NordPass will prompt you to save the new password automatically or update an existing one if previously stored. If you do not receive the autosave notification, create a new item and  save the new password manually.
  3. From now on, NordPass will remember and automatically fill in your new passwords for you!
