Another summer has come and gone at NordPass headquarters, and while we’ve taken some time to relax and recuperate, the work behind the scenes hasn’t slowed down. As we enter the final stretch of the year, we wanted to showcase some of the standout news and developments from NordPass — from the latest features to our shared expertise.
In the press
In recent months, NordPass has made some appearances in the media. In some cases, we shared our knowledge and insights into cybersecurity developments. In others, NordPass was the one under the microscope.
PCMag Editor's Choice
The team at NordPass always strives to grow and improve, bringing you the best password management experience. That’s why it’s been an honor to be selected as PCMag’s Editor’s Choice and take the top spot as the Best Premium Password Manager for 2024. NordPass’ ease of use, slick design, and additional cybersecurity features like Password Health and Data Breach Scanner were highlighted as some of the standouts of our product.
We’re not resting on our laurels, though. This recognition has only made us more determined to stay on top of the game and bring even more robust security features to our user base.

Discussing passkeys with Andrew Shikiar
Earlier this year, NordPass CEO Jonas Karklys sat down with Andrew Shikiar, Executive Director and CEO of the FIDO Alliance, to discuss all things passwordless. During the talk, they went over the early adoption of passkeys and their growth within the past couple of years, the public perception of this technology, and how it aligns with recent and upcoming compliance regulations.
NordPass has been a proud member of the FIDO Alliance since 2022, so the opportunity to discuss the developments in passwordless technology with the organization’s CEO has only strengthened our team’s understanding of what passkeys have to offer. Karklys went on to share his own insights about passkeys in his article on TechRadar.

Joining forces with Factory Berlin
Partnerships help keep our global community strong. That’s why we’re excited to start our partnership with Factory Berlin. Thanks to this new opportunity, we will be able to connect with up-and-coming startups, innovators, and creators.
Factory Berlin creates a space that helps support startups and grants access to resources and networking opportunities. We look forward to sharing our experiences, trading knowledge, and unlocking brand-new opportunities with this community.
Recent product news
It’s not just about talking the talk — we’re ready to walk the walk, too. These past few months have been very productive for us, with several new NordPass features and releases that we’re very excited about.
Detailed Shared Folders actions for Business
We want to bring efficiency and transparency to your organization’s data security by making our features easy to track and effortless to navigate. That’s why you may have noticed some changes and refinements to the NordPass Activity Log feature.
The Activity Log now displays all actions related to Shared Folders, such as when shared access was granted or revoked, what access level was set, which credentials were moved from one shared folder to another, and if the folder was renamed at any point. It provides more visibility into password management within your organization and offers insights similar to those of the NordPass Activity Log for your individual credentials.

Authenticator with autofill for Business
NordPass Authenticator allows users to add and store two-factor codes directly in their vaults alongside login credentials using NordPass, making it quick and easy to log in with multi-factor authentication when you are on a tight schedule. From now on, whenever you generate time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) using NordPass Authenticator, you’ll have them autofilled in the login screen.
By introducing this new mechanism to our Authenticator, we help you optimize multi-factor logins, bringing a higher security standard to your company account security. It resolves the long-standing problem of multi-factor authentication fatigue caused by using multiple apps and manually inputting security information to log in to an account. With the Authenticator, you don’t need to spend precious time switching apps or ensuring you’ve copied or memorized the right sequence before it refreshes and resets — NordPass handles it for you.

Splunk integration and Activity Log API for Enterprise
Clear and transparent documentation is crucial when a company works toward gaining compliance approvals. To make these management processes smoother, we’re excited to be joining forces with Splunk. This new partnership will allow NordPass customers who use Splunk to get automated activity analysis and generate reports for simpler data visualization.
As part of the optimization of data reports, NordPass now allows Admins to extract the full activity log information with the Activity Logs API. Using the API, organizations can monitor their employees’ actions and investigate company-wide activities for potential risks.

User and Group Provisioning via Okta for Enterprise
NordPass aims to make user and group management simpler without compromising security. If your organization’s provisioning system of choice is Okta, we have great news. You can now easily set up User and Group Provisioning in NordPass using your organization’s Okta account.
By combining Okta with NordPass, you can effectively handle onboarding and offboarding, manage access to resources as well as internal and third-party systems, and adhere to your organization’s cybersecurity policies.
Tweaks and improvements
While bringing new features to our users helps expand our cybersecurity capabilities, we haven’t forgotten what we’ve been working on so far. Consistency is key, and our goal is to continue improving and perfecting every feature that NordPass has to offer. We’re always eager to receive your feedback and work hard to improve your experience with NordPass, whether you’re with us for personal or business needs.
Adding dates to Custom Fields
With Custom Fields, we aim to give you more control and flexibility over how you store your sensitive information. We’re always thinking of new ways to expand Custom Fields to suit our customers’ needs — the most recent being the introduction of Date Fields.
From now on, you can select “Add date” and use the calendar to set it. Add a custom name to your date to know its function, for example, when a credential was created, when an ID document expires, or when an account needs updating. This addition will let you flexibly manage your sensitive data and offer a more convenient way to track time-sensitive information.

Authopia is here
Last but not least, we want to spotlight Authopia — a new tool developed by the team behind NordPass. Authopia lets you easily add a passkey widget to a login form on any website or service, making passwordless logins effortless and more accessible than ever before.
Authopia aims to offer companies a simpler passkey implementation method that requires minimal coding and is completely free, suiting organizations of all sizes and budgets. You can learn more about Authopia’s journey from development to launch from Sorin Manole, Head of Product, R&D at NordPass.

Bottom line
Overall, this has been an eventful quarter for NordPass, and we couldn’t be more proud of everything we’ve achieved. Our work for the year is far from over, though — we’ve still got a lot up our sleeves, and we’re not slowing down. We’re happy to have you with us on this journey so far, and we hope you’ll stay tuned and stay safe with NordPass.
