What is a passkey and how to store it in NordPass?

As the digital world continues to expand and evolve, the need for secure authentication has become more critical than ever. Enter passkeys – a modern solution for secure authentication that provides a safer and more convenient way to access apps and websites.

Today we will delve into the world of passkeys, explaining what they are, how they work, and why they’re the future of online security.

Passkeys explained
Essentially, passkeys are a new, more secure and convenient way to sign up for and access apps and websites. Cybersecurity experts tout passkeys as an authentication technology set to replace passwords.

Tech giants such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google are working on passkeys and aiming to make their platforms and accounts password-free. The decision is also expected to be taken up by other members of the FIDO Alliance, which is the driver behind passkey technology, and other companies around the globe.

When passkeys become the dominant authentication method, you will be able to sign up and access online services the same way you unlock your phone — via biometrics. No longer will you need to create, remember, and type out passwords.

Sounds awesome? Well, because passkeys are seriously awesome. Let’s have a peek at how to use passkeys in the real world.

Sign-up experience
Say you need to sign-up for a new online service that supports passkeys. All you need to do is add your email or username and confirm the prompt to create a passkey. Here’s how the sign-up process works with passkeys:

Login experience
Now that you’re signed-up for an online service with a passkey, logging in is quick, easy and secure. All you need to do is tap the suggested passkey for that account and you are logged in.

How do passkeys work? 
Understanding passkeys and how this technology works can be somewhat tricky, mostly because passwords have been an integral part of our digital lives for so long. So first let’s recap the old and familiar before getting into passkeys. By the end we should understand the whole passkeys vs. passwords deal and why passkeys are the way of the future.

Password technology explained
Passwords — we know them all too well, and most of us have some idea of how they work. But let’s quickly recap.

Password-based authentication is relatively simple and straightforward. Say you create a password for a new online account. That password is then stored in an encrypted format on a server. When you use the password to access that account, the system compares the password you enter with the one in its database. If the two match — you’re good to go.

Simple, right? Well the catch is that this kind of user authentication presents quite a few serious security concerns. People tend to reuse simple and easy-to-crack passwords for multiple accounts, which is a hacker’s dream — crack a single account and you have access to a person’s entire digital life. Databases that store passwords can be breached. In fact, Verizon’s Data Breach Report notes that up to 80% of successful breaches are attributed to weak or stolen passwords.

Passkey technology explained
You can think of passkeys as a new and improved type of password. Both are used to verify a user’s identity upon sign up and login. However, the technology behind passkeys operates in a different way.

Whenever you sign up for an online service which supports passkey authentication, two keys are generated — public and private, both of which are used to authenticate the user when logging in.

The public key is stored in the website’s server, while the private key is stored on your device, whether it’s a phone, tablet, desktop, or laptop. Without each other the two keys are useless.

Upon logging in, the server sends a request to your device, and that request is then answered by a related passkey. The user’s identity is also verified on the device level via biometrics. Finally if the pair of keys match you’re granted access to your account.

Passkeys are widely considered to be a more secure and convenient form of authentication compared to passwords, as they reduce the risk of forgetting or reusing passwords. Passkeys are also resistant to phishing attacks as they can’t be stolen from your device by a third-party.

Store passkeys with NordPass 
All NordPass users now have the ability to store and manage passkeys in NordPass and use them to access apps and websites. NordPass syncs your passkeys across all of your devices as well as operating systems and enables you to safely share passkeys whenever needed. It is important to note that sharing passkeys is not as easy with alternative systems as it is with NordPass.

We’re excited to let you know that with the release of iOS 17, passkey storage is now available on NordPass app for iOS devices. This is a monumental step for us, ensuring that you, our users, enjoy a seamless experience across all platforms and devices.

In addition to mobile access, you can also reach your passkeys on NordPass via the desktop app, web vault, Firefox, and Chrome-based browser extensions. We’re also thrilled to share that support for the Safari extension is on the priority list and will be launched later this year.

Password managers are highly reliant on platform vendors when it comes to passkey technology. Therefore, we welcome the latest move from Apple because it serves as a huge milestone in replacing passwords with more advanced online authentication solutions. With tech giants allowing third-party integrations, internet users will get more user-friendly services and, as a result, will be more keen to stick to using passkeys

It’s time to talk about cloud security

Reading about the cloud in 2023 has an almost nostalgic feeling to it, a bit like watching that HBO special for the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter series. You suddenly realize how long it’s been since the whole conversation about cloud computing started.

The cloud has become such a common IT tool that today it is difficult to find an industry (or even a company) that does not use it to some extent. The chances are very high that you yourself are using it frequently.

So, we will not waste your time with generic information explaining the benefits and challenges of the cloud. Instead, we’ll get down to the nitty-gritty and discuss what’s really important — cloud data security.

First things first: What is cloud security?

Cloud data security could be explained as what organizations do to protect their cloud-based systems and applications — and the data they store in the cloud — against cyber threats.

You could also say that it is a set of strategies, procedures, and tools that, when properly applied, can help companies prevent unwanted data exposure or IT infrastructure damage caused by various internal or external factors.

Both explanations are correct. In fact, they complement each other and together provide more context — although they don’t give the whole picture.

Treating it more like a concept, we could say that cloud security is a complex and constantly evolving field in IT that requires attention from all organizations that have either fully or partially based their IT environment on the cloud. So, with that in mind, the question you may be asking yourself right now is…

Why is cloud security so important?

If we had to answer that in one sentence, it would probably be this: cloud security plays an essential role in ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data stored in the cloud. But this only scratches the surface. So, allow us to elaborate a bit because there’s more to this matter than meets the eye.

Each year, more and more organizations start their digital transformation journeys and integrate cloud-based tools and services into their IT infrastructures. All of those companies — no matter if they are small businesses or large-scale enterprises — cannot afford to take any risks regarding the security of their digital assets.

This is why cloud security is one of the aspects that these companies must address if they decide to run even a tiny part of their activities in the cloud — or to keep their data inside one. If they don’t, they risk not only data loss or disruption of their business operations but also financial and reputational damage. They must be aware of the fact that keeping digital assets in the cloud doesn’t mean that they are unreachable to hackers.

This is to say that organizations should make every effort to ensure that their cloud cybersecurity is at the highest level at all times — after all, the success of their business endeavors depends on that.

Main risks associated with cloud security

Security issues in cloud computing often revolve around the potential for unauthorized access — but not only that. Below, you will find descriptions of some of the biggest threats that today’s companies must be aware of while developing their cloud security strategy. Whether a company will be able to address and manage these threats depends not only on the actions they take but also on its awareness of the emerging trends and disruptive forces shaping its industry.

  • Data breaches:

    Whenever an organization starts storing sensitive information in the cloud, it instantly becomes a target for cybercriminals — and they will try to find their way in. A successful breach could result in the exposure of the company’s confidential data including its financial records, customers’ personal information, or even intellectual property.

    In its “Cost of a data breach” report, IBM reveals that the global average cost of a data breach across all sectors in 2023 is almost $4.5 million — which is an amount that has increased by almost 15% over the last three years. This fact alone shows that companies cannot waste time, and they should introduce robust authentication mechanisms, encryption protocols, and access controls as soon as possible to protect themselves against this threat.

  • Insider threats and privilege abuse:

    It should be no surprise to anyone that employees with access to company data sometimes misuse their privileges or can be coerced into revealing sensitive information. This can lead to similar or even the same issues that arise due to data breaches.

    Hackers will use every vulnerability in security controls or protocols to gain unauthorized access to your systems and applications — and that is why companies must work on developing sound cybersecurity policies that, first, their employees will adhere to, and second, will help them mitigate the damage if one of their employees (whether intentionally or not) causes a potential cybersecurity threat.

  • Insufficient compliance with legal requirements:

    Cloud service providers often operate on a global scale, helping customers from different parts of the world where different sets of data protection laws and regulations apply. It’s no rocket science to point out that complying with these diverse legal requirements can be a challenge for both cloud providers and their customers.

    Non-compliance with the standards may lead to serious financial or reputational losses. Thus, businesses must carefully navigate the regulatory landscape and choose cloud providers that meet the relevant criteria.

Best practices in cloud security

Before we discuss any cloud security best practices, we would like to point out that cloud security as a whole is a continuous process and, therefore, you should stay informed about the latest security trends and practices so that you can protect your cloud environment more effectively. In other words, do not think of the following examples as the only elements you should pay attention to when creating a cloud security strategy. Instead, treat them as a starting point.

  1. Encrypt your data: One of the foundational pillars of cloud security is encryption, which is the process of using combinations of sophisticated algorithms to make sure that no unauthorized party can access your data — whether at rest or in transit. Some cloud service providers offer built-in encryption features, which you can leverage to keep your data secure at all times. If they are not available to you from the get-go, consider using third-party encryption tools to protect your sensitive information.

  2. Implement and use identity and access management (IAM) tools: To manage user access and permissions effectively, you must implement a strong IAM strategy. For example, by following the principle of least privilege, you can ensure that only authorized users with specific roles can access your systems, applications, and data. In other words, you can use IAM tools to provide the right people with access to the right resources — and only them. This will help you protect sensitive information from being compromised.

  3. Carry out audits regularly and monitor all cloud activities: You can stay ahead of potential security risks if you conduct frequent security audits. That way, you will be able to identify cybersecurity areas that require improvement and take necessary measures to address them before any security breach occurs. If you pay close attention to what’s going on in your network, you’ll be able to detect and respond to any anomalies or potential threats before they cause damage.

  4. Find out what your provider does to ensure cloud security: When teaming up with a cloud service provider, you should take the time to understand their shared responsibility model and all the security features they offer. In other words, you should get familiar with your provider’s security practices and security to, first, double-check if their approach aligns with your organization’s specific security requirements, and second, to ensure that your sensitive data and applications are adequately protected in the cloud environment.

  5. Backup your data: You can enhance your organization’s cybersecurity by consistently backing up your business data in a highly secure location and rigorously testing the recovery process. If you take this proactive approach, you will be able to, in the unfortunate event of a security breach or data loss, quickly and seamlessly restore crucial data and applications. Not to mention that it will help you minimize downtime, safeguard your reputation, and ensure business continuity.

How does NordLocker fit into the context of cloud security?

To adequately answer this question, we need to start with a brief explanation of what NordLocker is, namely an end-to-end encrypted cloud storage platform that allows you to securely store, manage, and share your business data with company members and partners.

NordLocker was designed to help companies — no matter the size, location, and nature of their business — protect their digital assets in a highly secure, state-of-the-art cloud environment to which only they have access. Therefore, it is more than fair to say that NordLocker was created with cloud security in mind.

Thanks to its wide range of features — from end-to-end encryption, through multi-factor authentication (MFA), to zero-knowledge architecture (and everything in between) — NordLocker covers all the cybersecurity practices we discussed in this article to help its users create a much safer online business environment. It can help you do that as well.

That’s why we encourage you to go to NordLocker and learn more about the platform and get a 14-day free trial. That way, you will be able to see for yourself if NordLocker is the right fit for your business and if what we’re saying is true.

Enjoy the ride!

How to change or reset your PayPal password

It goes without saying that you should protect all your online accounts with strong passwords. Data breaches, phishing attacks, and misplaced Post-it notes could all lead to stolen accounts. But when it comes to financial services, it’s particularly important to be careful.

How to change your PayPal password

PayPal is a quick and easy way to send and receive money. But since it is usually linked to your credit card, it’s important to change your password regularly and always use a strong one.

Please note that you can’t change the password through the PayPal app — you’ll have to log in through a browser.

Here’s how to change your PayPal password in four easy steps:

  1. Log into your PayPal account and click the little gear icon in the upper right corner.

  2. Click on “Security” in the top banner.

  3. Click “Update” in the “Password” field.

  4. Enter your current and new passwords and click “Change password.” All done!

How to reset your PayPal password

If you forgot your PayPal password, you can reset it through the browser and the PayPal app.

  1. Go to PayPal, click “Log in,” and select “Forgot password?”

  2. Enter the email address you used to create your account and click “Next.”

  3. Follow the instructions in the email you receive.

How to change your PayPal security questions

Please note that you can’t change the security questions through the PayPal app — you’ll have to log in through a browser.

Here’s how to change your security questions on PayPal:

  1. Log into your PayPal account and click the little gear icon in the upper right corner.

  2. Click on “Security” in the top banner.

  3. Click “Update” in the “Security questions” field.

  4. Select new security questions and write your answers. Click “Save” and you’re done!

How to set up a passkey for your PayPal account

Passkeys are a new and secure authentication standard introduced by the FIDO Alliance. Think of passkeys as a replacement for passwords that use your fingerprint, face, or a device PIN to sign in to apps and websites across the internet. Designed for supreme security and convenience, passkeys facilitate a seamless login process.

If you are interested in setting up a passkey for your PayPal account, here’s a quick rundown of how to do it:

  • Access your PayPal account using your existing username and passwords.

  • Once you access your account you will see an option “Create a passkey.”

  • Now you will need to authenticate via biometrics.

  • Once you’re authenticated, the passkey will be automatically created, and the next time you log in to your PayPal account, you will not need your username or passwords. The passkey will do the trick.

How to use PayPal safely

Using financial services online is convenient, but it can also be risky — there are many malicious actors lurking on the internet, trying to steal your money. Follow these simple tips to increase your security while making payments online:

Avoid making transactions when connected to public Wi-Fi. Hackers can set up fake hotspots and then monitor your actions online. Using a VPN will encrypt your connection, making it impossible for anyone to see the data you send and receive. You only need to be aware of snoopers looking over your shoulder as you type in your passwords!

Keep the PayPal app up to date. Apps can have vulnerabilities and bugs that are not discovered for months. But once they are brought to light, your account could be in danger. Set up automatic updates on your PayPal app to make sure you have the latest security patch installed.

Be cautious with links and attachments in emails. If you get an alarming email from PayPal claiming that your account is in danger and you must change your password immediately, don’t click any links. Open a new tab, enter the address manually, and check to see if your account is really in danger.

Enable two-factor authentication. Passwords are your first line of defense, but using 2FA will take your account security to another level. You can choose to receive a code via text or use an authenticator app or a security key for your PayPal account’s 2FA.

Set up passkeys. Passkeys are a new, passwordless authentication method that offer a more secure and convenient way to access websites and apps using only your fingerprint, face scan, or a device PIN. Because passkeys leverage public key cryptography, they are resistant to phishing attacks, making them even more secure than most multi-factor authentication methods.

Use a unique and strong password. When you change your password, pick one that is impossible to guess. That means using at least 12 characters that include upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols. Need help? Try our password generator.

Keep your PayPal password safe with NordPass. Let’s be frank. All of us have way too many passwords on our hands. Remembering each one — well, that’s just an illusion. But with the NordPass password manager you can have all of your passwords securely stored in a single place, and you can autofill them with just a click. The same goes for passkeys — the NordPass Passkey Holder is designed as a secure storage for all of your passkeys. Tidy mess of online life with NordPass today.

Make using financial services online stress free with NordPass!

Single Sign-On: What it is and how it works

Nowadays, single sign-on (SSO) authentication is required more than ever. Many websites offer users the option to sign up with Google, Apple, or any other service. Chances are you have logged in to something via single sign-on today or at least this week. But do you know what it is, how it works, and why it’s used? Take a deep dive into the world of single sign-on and all things related to it.

What is SSO?

Single sign-on is a session and user authentication service that allows the user to use a single set of login credentials – namely, a username and password – to access multiple websites or applications. Put plainly, SSO allows users to sign up and access a variety of online accounts with a single username and password, thus making things a lot easier for the everyday user. SSO’s primary use is as an identification system that permits websites and apps to use the data of other trusted sites to verify a user upon login or sign-up.

Essentially, SSO puts an end to the days of remembering and entering multiple passwords. An added bonus is that SSO gets users out of the vicious password reset loops.

Additionally, SSO can be great for business, as it improves productivity, security control, and management. With a single security token (a username and password), IT professionals can enable or disable a user’s access to multiple systems, which in some cases mitigates cybersecurity risks.

So, how does the magical service work?

How does SSO work?

Single sign-on is a component of a centralized electronic identity known as federated identity management (FIM). FIM, or Identity Federation, is a system that enables users to use the same verification method to access multiple applications and other resources on the web. FIM is responsible for a few essential processes:

  • Authentication

  • Authorization

  • User attributes exchange

  • User management

When we talk about SSO, it is important to understand that it is primarily related to the authentication part of the FIM system. It’s concerned with establishing the user’s identity and then sharing that information with each platform that requires that data.

Fancy jargon aside, here are the basic operational processes of single sign-on:

  • You enter a website.

  • You click “Sign In with Apple” or any other service.

  • The site opens Apple’s account login page.

  • If you’re already logged in, then it gives the site your data.

  • You are logged in to your Apple account.

  • Apple’s site verifies that you are authorized to access the site.

  • If you’re authorized, the site creates a session for you and logs you in.

In technical terms, when the user first signs in via an SSO service, the service creates an authentication cookie that remembers that the user is verified. An authentication cookie is a piece of code stored in the user’s browser or the SSO service’s servers. Next time the user logs in to that same app or website using SSO, the service then transfers the user’s authentication cookie to that platform, and the user is allowed to access it. It’s important to highlight that an SSO service doesn’t identify the exact user since it does not store user identities.

What is an SSO Token?

An SSO token is a digital unit that contains data about a particular user such as their email address. The token is used to transfer user information from one system to another during the single sign-on process. For the recipient to verify that the token comes from a trusted source, it has to be signed digitally.

The SSO service creates a token whenever a user signs in to it. The token works like a temporary ID card which helps identify an already verified user. This means that when the user tries to access a given app, the SSO service will need to pass the user’s authentication token to that app so they can be allowed in.

Single-Sign-On Costs

Because many of the SSO solutions currently available on the market are cloud-based, most of them are offered in a monthly subscription model. The price of a cloud-driven SSO solution designed for small and mid-sized businesses can range from $1 to $10 per user per month.

However, those that want to get an SSO solution designed for a big enterprise will need to either pay more each month or make an entry fee. Enterprise-grade solutions are usually more wide-ranging and require vendors to customize them to each of their client’s needs and requirements. Hence, the price difference.

Is single sign-on secure?

Yes. An SSO protocol is secure when implemented and managed properly and used alongside other cybersecurity tools.

The main benefit introduced by single-sign on with regard to cybersecurity is that, because it allows using a single set of credentials for multiple services, there are fewer login details to be lost or stolen. As long as the server is secure and an organization’s access control policies are established, a malicious user or an attacker will have little to no chance to do any damage.

However, this benefit could also pose a certain kind of risk. Since SSO provides instant access to multiple accounts via a single endpoint, if a hacker gains access to an authenticated SSO account, they will also gain access to all the linked applications, websites, platforms, and other online environments.

This issue can be easily mitigated by implementing an additional layer of security known as Multi-Factor Authentication. Combining SSO with MFA allows service providers to verify users’ identity while giving them easy access to applications or online platforms.

The benefits of SSO

Reduced password fatigue

With SSO in place, users only have to remember one password, making life a lot easier. Password fatigue is real and dangerous. SSO encourages users to come up with a single strong password rather than using a simple one for each account separately. It also helps users escape the vicious cycle of password reset loops.

Increased employee and IT productivity

When deployed in a business setting, SSO can be a real time saver. According to a recent report, people waste 16.3 billion hours a year trying to remember, type, or reset passwords. In a business environment, every minute counts. Thanks to SSO, users don’t need to hop between multiple login URLs or reset passwords and can focus on the tasks at hand.

Enhanced user experience

One of the most valuable benefits of SSO is an improved user experience. Because repeated logins are not required, users can enjoy a digital experience with less hassle. This means that users will be less hesitant to use the service. For any commercial web-based service, SSO is an essential part of their user experience.

Centralized control of user access

SSO offers organizations centralized control over who has access to their systems. In a business setting, you can use SSO to grant new employees specific levels of access to different systems. You can also provide employees with a single set of credentials (username and passwords) to access all company systems.
