What is credential manager?
- A credential manager is a digital safe that encrypts and stores your logins, credit card details, generates strong passwords and autofills them.
- A credential manager app remembers your passwords so you don’t need to. It also helps you organize them, fill in login forms with a click, and autosave new passwords when you visit new websites.
- With NordPass you get top-tier security for free. NordPass protects your accounts by using mathematical formulas called encryption algorithms. They scramble your passwords, so they’d look gibberish if anyone breaks into your password manager vault. Only you can see them. With a credential manager, you no longer need to reuse the same old password, either. You can create and use strong, unique passwords to make your accounts even more secure.
Should I use a credential manager?
- Credential managers are recommended to anyone who has at least a few online accounts.
- They are much safer and convenient than keeping all your passwords in your notebook, your head, or written on post-it notes. With a credential manager, you can forget all your passwords, except one — your Master Password, the key that unlocks your encrypted vault.
- NordPass Free offers more than your average free password manager. Unlike other free services, NordPass Free puts no limit on the number of passwords or personal information you can keep, and you can also sync it across multiple devices. The NordPass app allows you to set up automated backups or import data from other password managers. And don’t forget the autofill feature, which saves your time while you shop online or log in to your favorite online accounts.
How does a credential manager work?
- Using a credential manager is one of the best and easiest ways to keep your favorite online accounts safe. Most credentials managers work similarly:
1.
The user needs to install the password manager application on their device.2.
Then the user can import or enter their passwords or other sensitive information to the vault.3.
Now the user can enjoy autofill, autosave, and other convenient features that the credential manager offers.
All password managers will encrypt all sensitive data stored in the vault to ensure complete security. Credential managers are built in a way that not even their vendors could access the user’s vault contents.

Frequently asked questions
We cannot vouch for other password manager apps. However, we can guarantee that the NordPass Free offers the same security as its paid counterpart.
The app was built using one of the latest encryption algorithms XChaCha20 to ensure safe and secure connection. It’s the same encryption Silicon Valley giants are currently adapting.
NordPass password manager was also designed with Zero-knowledge architecture, meaning that your login credentials are encrypted before they leave your device and are stored in the cloud. NordPass employees cannot view, edit, or otherwise manage your passwords — only you can.
Using the same password for all your accounts might be convenient, but it isn’t secure. If at least one of your accounts is compromised (for example, it gets hacked, or your details leak in a breach), all your accounts become vulnerable. This way, someone with your social media account credentials could take money from your bank account.
That’s why security experts will always advise you to use complex passwords and make them unique for different accounts. This will lessen the damage if any of your accounts get hacked.
It may be difficult to remember complex passwords by heart, but that’s what password managers are for. A password manager app stores your passwords for you, so you have less things to worry about. With a password manager like NordPass you’ll never need to reset your forgotten passwords or lose access to your accounts altogether.
You can recover your NordPass account even if you forget your Master Password. All you need is the recovery code you generated when signing up.
- Launch NordPass and click on the Forgot my Master Password? link.
- Enter your Recovery Code and click Continue.
- Type in the new Master Password and click Continue.
- You will also be provided with a new recovery code, so note it down and keep it somewhere safe.
- You can now log in to your account with your new Master Password.
NordPass free will remain free. The free version of a password manager is as secure as the premium one but lacks a few core cybersecurity features. You can continue using NordPass free or choose to upgrade to NordPass Premium at any time.
You should have a password manager if you have more than a few online accounts and want to ensure their security. Password managers keep your login details in an encrypted vault, away from hackers’ and snoopers’ eyes. With a password manager app, you will no longer need to reuse the same password, which is one of the most common reasons why accounts get hacked. Your password manager will remember them all and will even help you to fill the login credentials when you visit your favorite websites.
