Boost your security with multi-factor authentication
Securely verify every login and keep your sensitive data safe from harm.
What is multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security method that requires two or more proofs of identity before granting access to an account or system. These proofs usually include something you know (a password), something you have (a phone or token), or something you are (biometrics). By adding these extra layers of verification, MFA greatly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if a password is stolen or leaked.
What MFA options does NordPass support?
For Teams, Business, and Enterprise plans, multi-factor authentication is configured directly in NordPass. Admins require members to verify their identity using authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy before accessing their vault.
For Personal plans, multi-factor authentication is configured at the Nord Account level. Users can secure their account using the same authenticator apps mentioned above, or by using a hardware security option, such as YoubiKey.
How can an organization use MFA settings to improve security?
Admins can configure MFA for the entire organization, specific roles, or individual members using granular settings. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple verification methods to access sensitive data and systems. Even if MFA isn’t enforced organization-wide, individual users can still enable it on their own accounts for enhanced protection.
How to configure company-wide MFA settings in NordPass?
Admins can configure company-wide MFA settings in NordPass by navigating to “Authentication” settings, locating the “Authenticator app” segment, and activating it. This MFA enforcement can be applied to the entire organization, specific roles, or individual members to add an extra layer of security to business accounts. Watch our short video guide for step-by-step instructions on how to do this in less than 5 minutes.
Why should you use MFA?
MFA provides an additional security level. Even if cyberscriminals were to get hold of your account’s email ID, they still couldn’t access your NordPass vault. They’d be missing a unique authentication code provided by the authenticator app. And even if they were able to get past MFA, they would still need to know your Master Password or have biometrics to unlock your vault.
How do you set up multi-factor authentication in NordPass?
You can set up MFA in your NordPass Teams, Business, or Enterprise account by scanning the QR code or manually entering the code into your authenticator app. Then, enter the 6-digit confirmation code and save your backup codes securely. If MFA is mandatory: log out and back in to NordPass to begin setup. If MFA is optional, or if you have a Personal account: go to “Settings” and enable MFA using the toggle button. Then, follow the setup steps outlined in this guide or this short video demonstration.
