--- title: NordPass canonical: https://saasranked.com/software/nordpass/ category: Password Managers points: 65 rank: 7 of 10 facts_checked: 2026-10-08 --- # NordPass Password manager from Nord Security with XChaCha20 encryption, a six-person family plan and a free plan limited to one active device. 65 points out of 100. #7 of 10 password managers. Vendor: Nord Security. Website: https://nordpass.com/ - Premium costs $23.88 for the first year ($1.99 a month), against a regular $35.88 [1]. - Family covers 6 user accounts for $44.28 in the first year, against a regular $71.88 [1]. - The free plan allows one active session on one device at a time [2]. - Apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, plus extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge [3]. - NordPass names a SOC 2 Type 2 audit and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification [5]. Verdict: NordPass suits people who want apps on every major system and a cheap first year, with emergency access and sharing in Premium [1][2][3]. Data is encrypted on your device with XChaCha20 before it is uploaded [4].
