LastPass

Encryption

NordPass utilizes XChaCha20-Poly1305-IETF, a modern encryption method not employed by LastPass. While LastPass provides key salting with PBKDF2-SHA256 (600,000 iterations), XChaCha20 offers hardware performance advantages without AES acceleration, resistance to timing attacks, simple implementation, and flexibility in security margins, making it a viable alternative.

LastPass utilizes AES-256 in CBC mode with PBKDF2-SHA256 (600,000 iterations) for key derivation and HMAC authentication.

Customizable Password Policy settings for passwords stored in the vault

NordPass features a customizable Password Policy that allows organizations to set specific requirements for passwords stored in the vault. This ensures strong password criteria are enforced and requires the password generator to create complex randomized passwords. Additionally, businesses can actively monitor compliance with their internal policies, providing valuable insights and evidence of adherence to security standards.

LastPass provides its own guidelines for what constitutes a weak password, which may differ from an organization’s policies. Even if an organization sets stronger rules for password generators, users can still manually create or import passwords that don't meet the security standards. However, the password manager might not flag these as weak since it evaluates passwords based on its own framework rather than the organization’s internal policies or character limits.

Data Breach Scanner

NordPass provides more detailed information on detected data breaches, including hashed passwords, email addresses, third-party systems API keys, and bank details. It also offers credit card monitoring for individual users.

LastPass provides a similar report as NordPass. It can check for the type of information leaked but cannot see extensive breach details aside from the password.Ā  Compared with NordPass, it displays fewer results for the same compromised login. It does not offer credit card monitoring.

User-friendly account recovery

Users can recover their accounts using a recovery code or by requesting recovery from the Organization Owner. No prior enrollment or configuration is required, ensuring a smooth recovery process.

Users can recover accounts using recovery codes, biometrics, SMS, one-time passwords, or security questions. Admins can reset the Master Password with a temporary one, but without pre-configured recovery methods, account recovery may be difficult or impossible.

User-friendly data recovery after the user is deleted

Data stored in NordPass can be recovered from deleted user vaults, even if it was not shared. This feature ensures that all information is retained, allowing for easy access recovery and the ability to transfer data to another user, as well as supporting business continuity.

When a user is deleted, their non-shared data cannot be recovered from the deleted vault. However, any shared folders remain accessible to the organization.

Synchronized peer-to-peer sharing

NordPass offers granular permissions for shared items and features Time-Limited Sharing, allowing users to specify access levels and set a predetermined duration for shared credentials or data.

Peer-to-peer sharing is available, but it offers limited access permissions, allowing users to either view or hide the password.

Secure link-based sharing with external parties

NordPass allows users to securely share individual items with external parties via a unique link. Senders can set expiration times, view-count limits, track views, and apply an optional email-lock verified via a one-time passcode (OTP). Links can be instantly revoked by the sender at any time, and shared items are live-synced so recipients always see the most up-to-date version. Additionally, admins can define organization-wide sharing defaults and audit all share creation, access, and revocation events in Activity Log.

LastPass does not offer a link-based sharing feature.

Organization-wide sharing control

The Owner role offers a comprehensive overview and management of all shared folders and peer-to-peer shared individual items within the organization. As an Owner, you can see who created each item or folder, who has access, and what access rights are assigned to each recipient. What’s more, you can control access to all shared company credentials by granting, modifying, or revoking access rights for any shared item or folder as needed.

Admins can view a list of all shared folders created for the company account, but they cannot see or manage the contents until access permissions are assigned. Additionally, admins do not have visibility or control over peer-to-peer shared individual items.

Built-in TOTP authenticator retaining a second factor with autofill functionality

NordPass includes a built-in authenticator that stores and autofills TOTPs across all devices, helping reduce the friction that leads to MFA fatigue. It allows employees to use a single tool for multiple authentication methods while keeping security strong and maintaining a simple user experience.

LastPass offers an authenticator feature that allows users to store and autofill TOTPs across all devices. However, without the paid add-on, accessing these codes does not require a separate second-factor step. Storing both the password and the TOTP code in the same vault means a single unlocked vault exposes both factors at once. The paid add-on adds an extra verification step through a mobile app, but it also requires users to have a mobile device available for authentication, which may not always be convenient.

Built-in Email Masking

No additional service is needed to use the Email Masking feature.

LastPass does not offer an Email Masking feature.
