Manage passwords: Less stress thanks to a password manager

Online banking, shopping, social media and more - we use online services every day for a variety of tasks. Different passwords are intended to make access secure, but we are often tempted to use the same combinations for multiple accounts. The reason: We are afraid of forgetting our access data.

• Its annoying to have to recover a forgotten password. Its even more stressful if youre unable to restore the account because, for example, your phone number has changed or your email address no longer exists and you havent stored any other security questions as a backup.
• Thats why some users make it easy for themselves: In 2021, the most common passwords were still “123456”, “password” and “hello”. With the right technical tools, hackers only need 1 second to crack it.
• Other users use a particularly complex password. Its difficult to crack, but it would be impractical to remember such a password for all services, which is why many people use it for all services. However, if it is leaked, all accounts are at risk in a split second.
• A password manager, on the other hand, is both simple and practical. It helps you save usernames and passwords and automatically fills in the information when you want to log in.
• Your data is stored in a virtual vault using state-of-the-art security algorithms, with extremely secure encryption ensuring that hackers are very unlikely to gain access to your data. In an emergency, modern encryption technology ensures that hackers only get access to fragmented data that you cant do anything with anyway.

NordPass has many features that make your password experience less stressful by creating and storing your passwords securely. All of the following features are included in the free NordPass version:

• Save passwords and account details with NordPass with just one click. The XChacha20 security algorithm encrypts your data so securely that hackers only get fragmented information in an already very unlikely attack. Thanks to the special encryption technology, it is impossible even for specialists in this field to find out which personal passwords or usernames you use.
• The NordPass vault stores your personal access data for all online services. You unlock it with a master password that you create when setting up your NordPass access. You also have the option of conveniently unlocking your data using a fingerprint or facial recognition. If you ever forget your master password, you can of course access your account via a recovery link.
• You can also store secure notes and your credit cards in the vault.
• When you log in to a website for the first time, NordPass automatically asks if you want to save your login details.
