NordPass

XChaCha20-encrypted password manager with breach monitoring, passkey support, and zero-knowledge architecture.

NordPass is a zero-knowledge password manager from the team behind NordVPN. It uses XChaCha20 encryption (the same cipher family WireGuard uses) and stores everything encrypted client-side before syncing. Features include passkey storage, biometric unlock, breach monitoring, email masking, and a built-in authenticator. Part of the Nord ecosystem, it bundles nicely with NordVPN and NordLocker. The free tier covers unlimited passwords on one device; Premium adds multi-device sync and breach scanning.
