NordPass
Password management software.
What it is
NordPass is the password manager from the team behind NordVPN. It stores passwords, passkeys and personal details in an encrypted vault and fills them in across browsers and mobile apps. The free tier is unusually generous on storage — there is no cap on how many passwords or passkeys you keep — but it is deliberately crippled in one place: you can only stay signed in on one device at a time, so moving between a laptop and a phone means logging out and back in. Paying lifts that single restriction and adds the security tooling around the vault.
