Add an extra layer of security to your password vault

How can I use a security key with NordPass?

You can use a USB security key as your preferred multi-factor authentication method to sign in to NordPass. The key needs to meet the FIDO U2F standard so it could be verified according to Webauthn specification. Simply set it up with your Nord Account and insert it into your device for verification.

Why use a security key?

• Added security layer. It helps NordPass to verify that you are you and makes it even more difficult for anyone to get into your account. Even if a hacker got hold of your login credentials, they wouldn’t be able to get into your account without having physical access to your key.
• Not tied to your identity. It acts as a verification method by using asymmetric cryptography. This means that no personally identifiable details, such as your emails or passwords, are stored on remote servers, nor do they leave a digital trail or can be grabbed during a man-in-the-middle attack.
• Easy to use. More and more platforms are adopting security keys, so you’ll be able to use them with more than just your Nord Account. In the future, you might be able to use biometrics to sign in given that the chosen key you use supports biometric authentication.
