What is Data Breach Scanner?
Data Breach Scanner is a built-in NordPass Premium feature that automatically scans leaked databases and compares them to items saved in your vault. If any of your passwords, email addresses, or credit card details appear in a data breach, NordPass lists them for you, highlighting which breaches might affect you the most.
Data Breach Scanner is activated when you start storing your sensitive data in your vault. This feature also helps you identify where and when a breach occurred and what type of data was compromised. Based on the type of leaked data, you will receive tailored recommendations on the best protection practices for the affected accounts.
If any of your personal data appears in a breach, we recommend changing your passwords immediately. Update them to stronger alternatives that are longer than 8 characters and contain numbers, special symbols, and upper- and lowercase letters. Ensure that the compromised password isn’t used to protect your other accounts. If so, change their login credentials, too.
If your credit card details have appeared in any breaches, we recommend checking your bank balance for any suspicious activity. If you suspect that someone might be using your credit card, notify your bank immediately.
