Our new “Time off” policy for an inclusive workplace

Creating an inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplace isn’t just the right thing to do – it also helps organizations and their employees thrive. This approach is increasingly relevant as societal norms evolve – a recent global survey finds that 9% of adults identify as LGBTQ+, highlighting the growing need for policies that reflect this diversity.

While strides have been made in promoting racial and gender diversity, companies have often overlooked the experiences of LGBTQ+ employees. At Nord Security, we addressed this gap and upgraded our “Time Off” policy, offering benefits that go beyond the binary approach.

Karina Dajoraitė-Dirvonskienė, Chief People Officer at Nord Security

Curious about what they are? Karina Dajoraitė-Dirvonskienė, our Chief People Officer, is here to explain. Read her insights and discover more about an inclusive workplace and the positive changes it brings.

Our inclusive “Time off” policy

Seeing the global growth in LGBTQ+ identification, we realized that many organizations still fall short in fostering inclusion. One example is the persistent barriers the LGBTQ+ community faces in accessing family-related leave benefits. This is mainly because not all countries and their legal systems acknowledge LGBTQ+ relationships or parental rights, meaning that employees typically need to use their annual leave for significant life moments. Such inequity is one of the many reasons leading to lower LGBTQ+ employee satisfaction at work and often resulting in resignations.

As “future shapers,” we recognize that innovation isn’t just about technology – it’s also about many things, including adaptability to evolving society. So this June, we enhanced our “Time off” policy, ensuring family-related leave is available to all Nord Security employees, regardless of their gender identity, marital status, and family setup.

This became possible because, at Nord Security, we broadened the definition of “family” to include partnerships alongside marriage, allowing our colleagues to take paid days off to celebrate love.

We also acknowledged various paths to parenthood – childbirth, surrogacy, or adoption – ensuring every parent’s right to paid days off for the arrival of a new family member regardless of their gender or family structure, including paternity/maternity leave, parental care days and child-related events, such as the school year start.

Additionally, we updated the bereavement leave, providing paid days off to grief not only traditional next of kin but also family members, who are often a vital support network for our LGBTQ+ colleagues.

Family commitments are a priority for us. Thus, whenever a significant family matter arises, our company promptly grants time off, with colleagues seamlessly stepping in to cover. As team players, we aim that our counterparts can focus on life’s significant moments without work-related worries.

The positive effect of inclusivity in the workplace

Embracing inclusivity in the workplace not only nurtures a supportive environment but also brings tangible benefits that extend from each individual to the entire organization.

Enhance happiness and satisfaction at work. Supportive LGBTQ+ policies in the workplace encourage honest communication about one’s gender identity and orientation, which largely contributes to individual well-being , psychological health, and increased job satisfaction.

Increase profitability. McKinsey’s (2020) research shows that diverse companies are 25% more likely to outperform their peers in profitability.
Improve decision-making. Inclusive teams make better business decisions up to 87% of the time because they raise more facts when solving the issue, thus making fewer factual errors. Additionally, they make decisions two times faster with half the meetings.
Boost creativity and innovation. According to HR and tech analyst Josh Bersin, inclusive companies are 1.7 times more likely to be innovation leaders in their market.
Retain employees. Data shows that 1 in 4 LGBTQ+ workers have stayed in a job primarily because the environment was very accepting of LGBTQ+ people. A positive employee experience leads to 16 times the engagement level of employees with a negative experience and eight times the likelihood of wanting to stay at a company.
Help attract a diverse pool of talent. On average, one-third of Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X workers are actively looking to change employers to ones that are more committed to diversity. Additionally, nearly seven in ten respondents (69%) identified a diverse workforce, and six in ten – an LGBTQ+ inclusive workplace when choosing employment.

Why it matters to build an inclusive workplace

As Gen Z and millennials, who are increasingly identifying as LGBTQ+, make up a larger part of the workforce, it’s crucial for organizations to prioritize fostering respect and equality for this community. At Nord Security, we are committed to this journey. We strive to cultivate diversity and inclusion through various internal initiatives, ensuring everyone is valued, heard, and respected, regardless of gender identity or orientation. Our forward-thinking “Time off” policy for LGBTQ+ colleagues, which set a new standard within the tech industry, is just one step in the right direction. However, there’s still much work to be done, and we’re on track to create a workplace where they can reach their full potential while expressing their authentic selves.

VNC vs RDP: which remote desktop solution to choose

IT admins often use remote desktop solutions in their daily work. With these these tools, they can:

Remotely update, configure, and troubleshoot servers
Help users with technical issues or software problems
Perform maintenance or install software on remote computers

Choosing between Virtual Network Computing (VNC) and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) can be challenging. Both offer remote desktop solutions but cater to different needs and environments.

This article will explore their features, differences, and use cases.

What is VNC?

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a screen-sharing system that works across many platforms. It uses the Remote Framebuffer Protocol (RFB) to control another computer remotely.

VNC is platform-independent, making it a good choice for connecting different operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux.

How VNC works

VNC transmits keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another and relays the graphical screen updates. In other words, it sends the framebuffer (the image displayed on the screen) from the server to the client.

Here’s how it typically works:

The user launches a VNC client and connects to the VNC server on the remote computer
The server sends the screen updates to the client
The client sends keyboard and mouse inputs to the server

Common VNC use cases

Cross-platform remote access. VNC connects to different operating systems, which is ideal for mixed-OS environments
Remote support. VNC provides technical help to users across various operating systems
Access home computers. Users can access their home devices from work or while traveling

Security concerns with VNC

VNC security depends on the specific implementation and additional configurations:

Inconsistent encryption. Not all VNC implementations provide strong encryption, which exposes sessions to potential interception
Authentication. Weak password encryption in some VNC versions can allow attackers to intercept credentials

NordLayer enhances VNC security with features like Smart Remote Access, secure VPN connections, and traffic encryption, ensuring that remote sessions are protected from unauthorized access and data breaches.

What is RDP?

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft. It allows users to connect to another computer over a network connection.

RDP provides a graphical interface, enabling users to control the remote machine as if they were sitting in front of it. Commonly used in Windows environments, RDP supports multiple features, such as file transfer, printer sharing, and remote audio.

How RDP works

RDP transmits mouse movements and keystrokes from the user’s device to the remote computer via a dedicated network channel using TCP/IP. This channel operates on network port 3389. The user’s desktop is displayed on the computer they connect to, providing a seamless experience.

IT administrators often use RDP to access files, run applications, and perform administrative tasks on remote servers or workstations.

Here’s how it typically works:

The user initiates an RDP session using an RDP client
The client connects to the remote computer’s RDP server, usually via port 3389
The user’s input (keyboard and mouse) is transmitted to the remote computer
The remote computer’s screen updates are sent back to the user’s client

Common RDP use cases

Accessing work computers remotely. RDP allows employees to access their workstations securely from any location
Server management. IT admins use RDP to manage servers remotely, perform updates, and troubleshoot issues
Remote support. Technicians can use RDP to provide remote support to users, resolving issues without being physically present

Security concerns with RDP

While RDP offers convenience, it is not inherently secure. It requires additional measures to ensure data integrity and prevent unauthorized access:

Weak authentication. RDP’s default settings may allow weak passwords, making it vulnerable to brute-force attacks
Encryption. RDP uses encryption, but it needs to be configured properly to ensure security

NordLayer addresses these vulnerabilities with advanced security features like two-factor authentication (2FA), Single Sign-On (SSO), and Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools.

VNC vs RDP: main differences

VNC and RDP serve similar purposes but have key differences that affect their use cases.

Protocol and performance. RDP uses a more efficient protocol than VNC, often resulting in faster performance and better bandwidth use. However, VNC offers better compatibility with different operating systems
Security. RDP includes built-in encryption and support for Network Level Authentication (NLA). VNC typically requires additional configuration or tools to secure connections, making it less secure out of the box
Compatibility. VNC is highly compatible across various operating systems, while RDP is optimized for Windows environments and may have limited functionality on non-Windows systems
User experience. RDP provides a smooth experience with features like remote audio and device redirection. In contrast, VNC offers basic screen sharing without these advanced features, focusing on compatibility and simplicity

VNC vs RDP: which one should you choose?

Choosing between VNC and RDP depends on your specific needs and environment.

When to choose RDP

Windows-centric environments. If your organization primarily uses Windows, RDP is optimized for this OS and provides a seamless experience
Need for advanced features. RDP offers advanced features like remote audio, device redirection, and printer sharing, which can enhance productivity
Higher security requirements. RDP has built-in encryption and support for NLA, providing better out-of-the-box security

When to choose VNC

Cross-platform compatibility. If you need to connect to different operating systems, VNC is a versatile choice
Simplicity and flexibility. VNC’s simplicity and ability to work across various platforms make it suitable for mixed-OS environments

How NordLayer can help

NordLayer offers secure remote access solutions that enhance the capabilities of both VNC and RDP.

NordLayer also integrates with existing IT infrastructure, adding a strong layer of security and management for remote work environments.

SSO. Simplifies user access to multiple applications with one set of credentials, which enhances security and user experience
2FA. Adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification. It reduces the risk of unauthorized access
Smart Remote Access. Creates secure connections between devices and central network resources by using VPN-encrypted point-to-point connections for remote desktop access
Remote Access VPN. Acts like a secure bridge that connects you to your office network from anywhere by establishing an encrypted tunnel between your device and the designated network. It keeps your data private while providing access to important files and tools
AES-256 bit encryption. Creates a secure tunnel between endpoints, which blocks all traffic from outside the network
Device Posture Monitoring. Continuously checks the security posture of devices that access the network. It ensures compliance with security policies
ThreatBlock. Blocks access to malicious websites, reducing the risk of phishing and other cyber threats
Fixed IP. Utilizes a fixed IP address exclusively assigned to your company through a VPN for better control and security
IP masking. Replaces your real IP address with a new identity, which prevents easy physical location detection and enables access to geo-blocked services

In the debate of VNC vs RDP, the right choice depends on your specific needs, environment, and security requirements.

RDP is ideal for Windows-centric environments needing advanced features and better out-of-the-box security. VNC is suitable for cross-platform compatibility and simplicity.

What is a passphrase — and how does it compare to a password?

Riddle: What works like a password but isn’t one?

Passwords continue to be the most used method for verifying your identity when logging into online services and applications—which isn’t necessarily an issue provided that you handle your passwords properly. Specifically, you must always make sure the complexity and length of your passwords are optimal.

A strong password should be at least 12 characters long and comprise a random combination of numbers, symbols, and uppercase and lowercase letters. While such a password may be difficult to remember, it’s always better to prioritize strength over memorability.

But what if we told you there’s an alternative—a credential that can be stored and managed just like passwords, yet is easier to remember and believed by many to offer even better security? Ever heard of passphrases? That’s the alternative we’re referring to.

What is a passphrase, exactly?

Generally speaking, a passphrase is a sequence of words or a complete sentence used for user authentication. It is, as you can imagine, typically longer than a password, especially because it can include spaces between words.

For example, let’s take a random phrase like ‘no more riddles in this article’—this entire 31-character sequence of words can be used as a passphrase. Of course, since most systems have no limits, your passphrases can be even longer. So, if you want to use one of Shakespeare’s sonnets or what’s written out on the first page of the American Constitution as your passphrase, you are free to do so.

The way you set up a passphrase for your online account is by entering it when a service or application prompts you to create a password. That’s why we said you can manage your passphrases just like you handle your passwords—the difference lies only in the combination of characters you use to log in.

Passphrase vs. password: which one is better?

Passphrases are widely recognized as safer than traditional passwords for several important reasons. Their extensive length and the option to include spaces between words can greatly enhance security against brute-force attacks. Crafting passphrases from meaningful phrases or sentences can significantly improve usability by making them easier to memorize.

In contrast, traditional passwords, with their shorter length and complex character requirements, can be challenging to remember and susceptible to cracking, posing a higher security risk in both scenarios.

When to use a passphrase and when to use a password

For optimal security, we recommend using passphrases since they can be both easy to remember and highly secure. Consisting of multiple words or a full sentence, passphrases are ideal for online accounts where usability and strong security are essential. In contrast, using a traditional password is more suitable in situations requiring shorter, more complex combinations that are challenging for automated tools to crack.

How to create a strong passphrase

If you want to create a truly strong passphrase, be sure to combine unrelated words or phrases that are memorable to you but difficult for others to guess. The words can describe anything, such as your favorite color, the type of animal you have, the title of your favorite movie, or the food you dislike—just make sure you select a few and arrange them sequentially.

You can also make your passphrases even stronger by including a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, just as you would do with passwords.

Where can you securely store and manage your passphrases?

Since the process of creating and using passphrases is similar to that of handling passwords, using a password manager for passphrases is highly recommended. However, it’s important to choose not just any password manager but one that offers features and design ensuring enhanced security and usability.

A good choice would be NordPass due to its encrypted vault, which allows you to securely store your credentials in one safe place. NordPass also offers convenient autosave and autofill functionalities that can simplify and enhance your login experience. If you prefer using passwords, NordPass can further improve your digital life with features like the Password Generator that instantly creates complex passwords and automatically stores them in your vault.

So, give NordPass a try and see what it can do to boost your cybersecurity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How often should I change my passphrase?

Ideally, you should change your passphrase every few months to enhance security. However, if you suspect it may have been compromised or there are any security concerns, you must update your passphrase immediately.

Can a passphrase be too long?

A passphrase can technically be as long as the system allows, but excessively long passphrases may become impractical to remember or type in accurately. So, it’s generally a good practice to balance length with usability when creating a passphrase.

What should I do if I forget my passphrase?

If you forget your passphrase, you should follow the recovery process provided by the service or application where the passphrase is used. This usually includes using account recovery options such as security questions, email verification, or getting in touch with customer support.

How can I remember my passphrases without writing them down?

To remember your passphrases without writing them down, just use a password manager. This will allow you to securely store and organize your passphrases, ensuring they’re accessible whenever needed without compromising your security.

Is it safe to store my passphrases in a password manager?

Storing your passphrases in a password manager is generally safe. However, the level of security can vary depending on the specific password manager you choose. Using a tool like NordPass ensures you receive robust protection, with features designed to keep your passphrases secure and protected against unauthorized access.

Essential guide to end-user security awareness training

End-user security awareness training is crucial for teaching employees about cyber threats. These include phishing attacks and the importance of password security. The need for this education is on the rise. There has been a 29% increase in cyber attacks in the first quarter of 2024 compared to 2023.

Training methods vary, including interactive webinars, gamified modules, and simulated phishing exercises. Each method is suitable for different organizational needs. This guide will discuss what security awareness training involves. It will also cover why it’s necessary and how IT admins can implement it effectively.

What is end-user security?

End-user security involves measures and practices to protect an individual’s computer, data, and network access. It guards against cyber threats and unauthorized access attempts. This security includes password security, antivirus software, and firewalls.

End-user security specifically targets risks arising from human error and individual behaviors. These can lead to security breaches. Unlike network security, application security, information security, and operational security, end-user security focuses on the human factor. This is often the weakest link in corporate security.

The need for end-user security

The need for end-user security is quite obvious and naturally fundamental. Any business that relies on digital resources must prioritize it regardless of size or industry. Implementing security awareness training helps prevent unauthorized access. This access could lead to data breaches, which are costly and damaging to a company’s reputation.

Without end-user security, businesses are more vulnerable to malware and social engineering tactics. While it is impossible to completely protect end users from a social engineering attack, conducting effective security awareness training programs can greatly reduce these risks. These threats often target end users who may not be aware of the sophisticated methods used by cybercriminals.

Organizations without training may see a 30% increase in malicious link clicks. The cost of implementing strong end-user security measures is usually less than the losses from a cyber-attack.

Common threats that end users are facing

End users often represent the front line in cybersecurity, yet they are also the primary targets for many cyber threats. This vulnerability can expose entire networks to significant risks if organizations don’t manage it properly. Here’s a breakdown of the common threats that end users encounter.

Social engineering: tactics that manipulate users into providing confidential information or making security mistakes. It’s a significant threat because it relies on human error, which can never be eliminated.
Phishing attacks: deceptive emails or messages that trick users into revealing sensitive information. It’s the most widespread form of social engineering.
Malware: malicious software that an attacker installs on a user’s device without their knowledge. It can steal data, spy on activities, or gain unauthorized access to networks. It can silently cause widespread damage to an organization or the whole supply chain.
Ransomware: a type of malware that encrypts data and demands a ransom to restore access. Ransomware attacks often lead to significant financial losses and operational downtime. In 2023, the average cost of each ransomware attack was over $5 million. In total, businesses paid more than $1 billion in ransoms in 2023 for the first time, and experts predict that 2024 will present even greater challenges.
Zero-day exploits target unknown software vulnerabilities before fixes are available. End users often suffer from these exploits, as they frequently use vulnerable software. For example, the WannaCry ransomware exploited unpatched Windows systems, impacting users worldwide. Regular updates and patches are crucial for protecting end users.
Password attacks: attempts to crack or steal passwords to gain unauthorized access to systems and data. They can lead to breaches of multiple accounts if users reuse passwords.
Man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks are when attackers intercept and possibly alter the communication between two parties. MitM attacks also can lead to data theft.
Wi-Fi eavesdropping: intercepting and monitoring data transmitted over poorly secured Wi-Fi networks. This type of attack is serious because it can lead to data breaches of sensitive personal and business information.
Drive-by downloads: unintentional download of malicious software to a device, which often occurs when visiting an infected website. The seriousness of these threats lies in their stealth and the ease with which they can infect a system.
USB attacks deliver malware through USB devices. These attacks bypass network security and affect the physical security of systems.

Various cyber threats target end users in different ways. However, social engineering is the most common threat. It affects nearly everyone at some point. Complex threats like zero-day exploits happen less often than phishing attacks.

End-user security might not fully prevent sophisticated zero-day exploits. Fortunately, these are rarer than phishing attacks. So, organizations can enhance their security by focusing on phishing awareness training. This significantly strengthens their defense against the most prevalent cyber threats.

Why you need security awareness for your business

The short answer is: you don’t want a devastating cyber attack on your business. Such an attack could cost a huge amount of money or even ruin the business. But let’s break this down into several parts.

Minimize financial risks

Phishing campaigns are the starting point for about 90% of cybersecurity attacks. These lead to data breaches. These incidents can be extremely costly, and the average cost of data breaches is growing every year. The tools for cyber-attacks are also becoming less expensive. A well-structured security awareness training equips employees with the skills to identify and prevent such attacks. This can potentially save the company substantial sums in lost revenue and recovery costs.

Protect your company’s reputation

A single data breach can significantly damage your business’s reputation. This leads to a loss of customers and partners who value data security. For example, the case of 23andMe, which severely damaged its reputation after exposing the DNA data of its customers, underscores the risks. It remains uncertain whether the company will fully recover.

By integrating a comprehensive security awareness program, your business is committed to data protection. This can help maintain customer trust and business relationships.

Comply with regulations

Many industries face strict data protection regulations that charge significant fines for non-compliance. A proper security awareness training program teaches employees to handle sensitive information. This helps them comply with regulations and avoid costly legal issues. It includes finding new partners that value robust cybersecurity like ZTNA.

Reduce human error

Most security breaches come from human error. Implementing ongoing security training can greatly reduce these risks. Programs should cover password security, mobile device safety, and phishing attack recognition. Employees also learn about identity and access management. They become cautious about the data they share.

Secure the supply chain

If your business is part of a supply chain, a breach can impact more than your company. It can affect larger, critical businesses and have unpredictable consequences. A robust security program prevents employees from becoming the weak link in the chain.

Security awareness training can save a lot of money and even your business. It prevents financial losses, protects your reputation, and ensures legal compliance. It also reduces human error risks and secures your supply chain role.

For IT administrators, investing in effective training enhances business security and stability. This investment pays dividends by safeguarding against evolving threats.

How to implement end-user security awareness training

Implementing end-user security training is straightforward but needs careful planning and updates.

Here are the key steps:

Assess risks. Start by identifying the specific threats your organization faces. These include phishing attacks, malware, or data breaches. Determine which data types and behaviors are most at risk. A SaaS cloud company might be vulnerable to customer data breaches. A manufacturing firm might be exposed through third-party vendors. List the most at-risk data and common compromise methods like social engineering.
Define objectives. Clearly outline the goals of your security awareness training program. Instead of the generic ‘be safe online,’ specify the behaviors and skills employees need to develop. If your company faces diverse cybersecurity attacks, goals might include recognizing signs of a phishing attack and managing password security and access securely. This approach ensures that the security training is focused and measurable.
Choose the right approach. Select training materials and platforms that suit the learning styles and technological skills of your workforce. An interactive quiz with real-life scenarios is often a good choice because it is gamified and relatable. If your team prefers traditional methods, like reading printed materials in Times New Roman on A4 paper, opt for that approach. Choose tools that ensure information is not only presented but retained.
Develop a training schedule. Establish a regular training schedule to maintain ongoing security awareness. Start with mandatory cybersecurity awareness training for new hires, then incorporate monthly security tips via newsletters and weekly reminders on Slack. This helps keep remote employees engaged and aware of the latest cyber threats.
Incorporate engaging content. Use a variety of videos, real-life case studies, interactive quizzes, and gamified elements to make learning both engaging and memorable. This variety helps prevent the training from becoming just another checkbox exercise and enhances employee awareness.
Conduct phishing simulations. Challenge employees with simulated phishing attacks to provide practical experience identifying suspicious emails. For example, in the NordLayer office, QR codes occasionally appear that lead to a page warning against following unknown QR codes.
Measure training effectiveness. After training sessions, assess their effectiveness using quizzes, feedback forms, and by monitoring changes in employee behavior. This is crucial for understanding the training’s impact and identifying areas for improvement. Without this evaluation, programs might become outdated and ineffective.
Update and iterate. As cyber threats evolve, so must your training program. Regularly review and update the training content to include recent cyber incidents and emerging threats, ensuring the program remains relevant and effective.

Overall, this project requires a team, but the investment is worthwhile because it significantly reduces the likelihood of successful cyber-attacks. Remember, no organization is too small for an attack; it can happen even to those who have previously been attacked.

Passkeys: You can now better control how often you see certain NordPass passkey prompts on websites. We’ve also introduced a new button in a couple of our passkey flows so that you can more easily switch to using another passkey solution instead of NordPass.
Autofill: You now have the power to change the autofill behavior of website form fields so that you’re suggested exactly the right information you’re looking for. For example, if you’re suggested credit card details on a login page, you can adjust the autofill logic so that you’re correctly suggested a password item in future.
File attachments: You can now save time by viewing attached .jpg and .png image files directly in the app, meaning there’s no longer a need to first download them.

Thanks as always for sharing your thoughts with us. If anything else crosses your mind, you can always find us at support@nordpass.com.

Bug fixes. Caught many annoying bugs that hinder your experience.

Some write songs, some dedicate sonnets, some built monuments. We create release notes to honor each update of NordPass app for Windows, macOS and Linux. A single click of that magical “Update” button unlocks the newer, faster, better-performing world of stress-free password management.

NordPass 4.16

As Christmas is over, it’s time to make some New Year’s resolutions. But why wait? We want to become a better, smoother-running, and more user-friendly app now. We have strived for perfection since NordPass was launched, and this week is no exception. So we present you a new NordPass version with fewer bugs and more Autofill fixes.

NordPass 4.15

A good beginning makes a good ending, so why not start a week with a new NordPass release? Here’s what we’ve got this week:

BREACH SCANNER UPDATE. If your password was leaked in a data breach and you’ve reused it on other accounts, a new ‘Accounts at risk` tab will appear. There you’ll see a list of accounts that may be vulnerable. Don’t wait for a second and change their passwords to prevent cyber attacks.
AUTOFILL UPDATE. We’ve fixed a ton of autofill bugs so you’d have a smoother autofill experience on even more websites.

NordPass 4.14

We know that sometimes life throws challenges right at you. At those times, the last thing you want to think about is how and where to access your passwords.

That’s why from now on, you can give emergency access to your passwords and other items. Choose a person you really trust and invite them to be your emergency contact. Once they accept it, you can give them access immediately or wait for 7 days to be given automatically. Note: You can only give emergency access to another NordPass user with a Personal or Family plan.

NordPass 4.13

Trick or treat? Who are we kidding? It’s always just treated here at NordPass. So here’s our Halloween treat to you – a brand new NordPass release. Don’t worry, nothing to be scared of—just a smoother running version of your password manager.

NordPass 4.12

Tired of too many emails and banners? We get you, and we want to improve our communication with you. That’s why from now on, a lot of important information will appear as in-app notifications. So if you open the app and see a red dot next to a bell icon, just know that it’s something important from us to you.

P.S. We also solved a number of bugs.

NordPass 4.11

Getting your data stolen isn’t nice. But if that happens to you, it’s important to identify the stolen information and act quickly. That’s why with this release, Data Breach Scanner has gone even better. How?

If your data has ever appeared in any breach, you can now use the Breach Scanner to identify not just what type of data was leaked, but also see it in plain text. This includes passwords, your address, social security number, birth date, and other data types.

In addition to all this, we are continually working to improve one of our core features – Autofill. So expect to see more websites working flawlessly with NordPass.

NordPass 4.10

Can’t find tools to improve your password security? We got you. You’ll find security tools such as Password Generator, Data Breach Scanner, and Password Health in the sidebar from this release. More accessible to access and easier to use.

We also solved some pesky bugs to make your NordPass experience more enjoyable.

NordPass 4.9

What do you have in the box this time NordPass? Well, let me see…

Title and website address suggestion. That’s right, now when creating a new item, you only need to enter a few letters in the Title or Website address fields, and NordPass will suggest filling it with one of the thousand popular websites.
Spanish and Italian languages are now available on the NordPass extension.
Bug fixes, bug fixes, and more bug fixes.

NordPass 4.8

It’s August my friend. And you know what August is good for? Learning new languages.

Hablas español? Parli italiano? If you do, lucky you. Because you can now use NordPass in Spanish and Italian. Enjoy!

NordPass 4.7

Did you know that no one else has the same fingerprint as you? That’s why it’s the most unique password you can have. Dedicated Mac users, this release is for you. Yes, you can now sign in to your NordPass app with a fingerprint. Feeling like James Bond yet? We are!

P.S. We also solved a ton of pesky bugs to make your experience smoother than ever.

NordPass 4.6

Dear bugs, it’s time. Time to say goodbye. It won’t be the same without you. It will be better. The password managing experience will be much greater now.

NordPass 4.5

It’s officially summer, NordPass people! (Or winter, if you live in the southern hemisphere.) Wherever you are, we hope it’s sunny so that you can enjoy the brand new release. Here’s what we’ve got:

MULTIPLE ITEM SHARING. Sharing is caring, right? Well, now you can select multiple items and share them all at once. Easy peasy. Just always make sure you trust the people you share your credentials with.
PASSWORD GENERATOR HISTORY. You know that moment when you create a super-strong password with the NordPass Generator and forget to save it? Yeah, we’ve been there too. That’s why you’ll now see a little clock icon in your Generator where you can check your previously generated passwords.
BUG FIXES. And, of course, we won’t release a new NordPass version without getting rid of as many bugs as possible.

NordPass 4.4

“Speed” was the main keyword at NordPass this week. So what to expect in this release?

Updated designs so you could find your passwords or any other items at the speed of light.
Tons of bug fixes and maintenance work so that your app would work faster than ever and would be as pretty on the inside as it is on the outside.

NordPass 4.3

Don’t worry if you missed the chance to get NordPass Premium for less. The Summer Kick-Off Sale is here! Use this offer to get access to all the amazing Premium features.

Also, we have a little something for our Business users. From now on, all members who are added or removed from groups will be notified by email.

NordPass 4.2.18

Hello, world! We’ve prepared a nice little juicy pack of updates – just for you. Please give a warm welcome to:

Double EXTENSION-upgrade: from now on, not only it speaks German fluently but also is available in Dark Mode. Ready to give some rest for those sore eyes?
A new ge-ne-ra-tion for stronger passwords! Check out the PASSWORD GENERATOR to enjoy shiny new looks and (finally!) PASS-PHRASES for nice-and-strong-memorable-passwords.

NordPass 4.1

We are working hard on bringing Dark Mode to the NordPass extension. In the meantime, we are also doing some good old maintenance work. So expect to see some design changes in the browser extension and forget the existence of annoying bugs.

NordPass 4.0

Today is the day! You know what we are talking about. You asked for it; we delivered it. And oh boy, how good it looks! You’ll believe it once you see it.

OK, we recommend sitting down for this one. Then open your NordPass app, update it to the newest version and enjoy the shiny new DARK MODE.

Dark mode desktopDark mode desktop

And if that doesn’t impress you, well, then we have more news. You can now use NordPass in German. Whether it’s your mother tongue or just want to polish your German skills, you can now change your language preference in Settings.

NordPass 3.31

This time we’ve got many design changes to make your life easier. So let’s get to it. Here’s what you’ll see in this release.

TOAST MESSAGES UPDATE. Some of the success messages, such as when you import items or update your app, were outdated, so we made them easier to understand.
MULTISELECT REWORK. We noticed that the sorting option was missing when multiple items were selected. We introduced this option and changed long-winded buttons to visually pleasing icons.
BROWSER EXTENSION UPDATE. You can now access Tools from the NordPass extension, including the Password Health and the Data Breach Scanner.

NordPass 3.30

Are you ready to switch off the lights? Because Dark Mode is coming very very soon. We are working hard to make sure everything looks perfect for the release. A few more things, and we are done. Keep your eyes peeled.

In other news, we fixed some annoying bugs we found in Groups and took care of other bugs.

NordPass 3.29

Sometimes what we do is either too difficult to explain or too difficult to see. Yes, you guessed it. This week we put all our effort into finding and getting rid of bugs. We hope we’ll have something more exciting for you next week.

NordPass 2.34

NordPass has gone through some serious spring cleaning with this release. Why do we say so? Here’s what we did:

B2B GROUPS BUG FIXES. It’s new, fresh, and now with fewer bugs.
APP BUG FIXES. We’ll never give up on perfecting NordPass.
EXTENSION DESIGN REWORK. So much better looking now! You have to see it to believe it.

And something exciting is coming up very soon. So stay tuned. 😉

NordPass 2.33

This time, we’ve got good news for Business users. Let us introduce GROUPS. Admins and Owners can now assign members to groups and share passwords with a number of people instantly. Think, your finance department sharing login details every accountant needs to access.

Anything else? Of course, we got rid of more nasty bugs.

Dark mode landscapeDark mode landscape

NordPass 2.32

Happy April Fool’s! Stay vigilant, and don’t get tricked by any hackers. Keep your passwords safe with an updated NordPass app. Here’s what we’ve got this time:

CHANGES TO MASTER PASSWORD CREATION. Now it’s easier to understand what that mysterious Master Password is and how it is different from your Nord Account password. BUG FIXES as usual.

NordPass 2.31

It’s spring! Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and NordPass is releasing another update. In this release, you’ll find: KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS. You can now use CTRL + F to search your items and CTRL + L to lock your app instantly. BUG FIXES. No bugs allowed here.

NordPass 2.30

NordPass bug hunters strike again. Yes, you guessed it. We got rid of more pesky bugs so you could enjoy an even smoother experience with NordPass. That’s it for now!

NordPass 2.29

“Could NordPass be any better?” asks our team every single week. And the answer never changes. YES, it can!

But it’s not always about new features and crazy advancements. Sometimes it’s all about perfecting those nitty-gritty details. So this week, we say another goodbye to a bunch of bugs. Bye, we won’t miss you.

NordPass 2.28

Another week, another release of a better, faster, and more secure NordPass app. And for this we say a BIG thank you to our bug hunters (aka developers). You guys rock.

NordPass 2.27

If NordPass was a dog, what would he say to a flea?

Stop bugging me.

The good news NordPass doesn’t need to endure nasty bugs. Bye-bye, bugs. We don’t wanna see you no more.

Bug desktopBug desktop

NordPass 2.26

Ready, set, new release! What can you expect to see in the new and shiny NordPass 2.26?

EXTENSION REWORK. Updated, upgraded, and overall better-looking browser extension. But what did we actually do? Well, we just made it even more similar to your desktop app, meaning more functional and easier to use. Voila!

BUG FIXES. Can you tell we don’t like insects? No bugs are allowed in our app. Yuck.

CarCar

NordPass 2.25

It’s a very special day today. We thought about it over and over again. We were constantly considering, overthinking, and having sleepless nights about it. We even visited a fortune teller to ask if you’ll like it, or not. Yet still, our developers were nervously (but carefully!) coding that code.

And here it comes. A sincere love letter. In PDF format. Containing your Recovery Code. Save it, delete it, save it again, print it – do whatever you want, but please, keep it safe. And don’t show to anyone else! It was created from the bottom of our hearts to express how much we LOVE YOU.

Take care!

And don’t forget to update the app to get those extra bug fixes.

NordPass 2.24

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a password manager named NordPass lived. His goal was to become the best password manager that there ever was. And he did it one release at a time.

He proudly presents his latest achievements:

AUTOSAVE AND PASSWORD EDIT UPDATES. Now it will be easier to understand when NordPass is prompting to update an old password or when it is offering to save a new one automatically.
HELP SECTION ADDED TO SETTINGS. If you need help using NordPass, head to Settings to be directed to the Help Center.
COPY CHANGES. Salvador Dali might have said not to fear perfection as we’ll never reach it, but we’ll still give it a good go.
BUG FIXES. No need to call the pest control officer; we got it fixed.

NordPass 2.23

AbraCadabra boom! No, it’s not magic. It’s just your passwords and personal information filling in quicker and smoother than ever before. Bye-bye, annoying bugs who tried to stop you. What else can you expect in this release?

ONLINE/OFFLINE INDICATOR appears in the NordPass extension.
COPY CHANGES to make the app easier to navigate.
MORE BUG FIXES.

NordPass 2.22

New Year, new NordPass release. Here’s what you’ll see in the latest version:

EASIER LOG IN WITH NORD ACCOUNT. We tweaked the steps you take logging in to NordPass for a smoother experience.
BUG FIXES, because no one likes bugs.
RECOVERY CODE PDF. You will now be able to download your Recovery Code in PDF. Keep it somewhere safe. 😉

NordPass 2.21

Yeah, Christmas will be different this year. But we’ve still got something to spread a little cheer.

In this release, you will see:

ICONLESS ITEMS STYLING. Your passwords that don’t have dedicated icons will light up in a variety of colors.
BUG FIXES. Well, it cannot be called a release without bug fixes, right?

NordPass 2.20

“You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?” – Kevin, Home Alone, 1990

That’s the NordPass spirit, Kevin! We’ve got more:

Design changes. Yes, the sky’s the limit for our designers, sorry.
Password Generator update. Did we mention that it’s important to have long and unique passwords?
Browser extension update. Easier to understand, prettier to look at.

NordPass 2.19

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

Don’t want NordPass for my own
More than you could ever know
Making this wish come true
Giving a bug-free NordPass for you

P.S. Thanks Mariah Carey for inspiration.

NordPass 2.18

NordPass has turned 1 year old this week. Just on time for Thanksgiving, can you believe it? And we can honestly say this year we are the most grateful for YOU, our dear NordPass user. You, who believed in us and drove us to release one update after another.

So here’s one more. Full of even more design edits, bug fixes, and love:

LOGINS TURN TO PASSWORDS. Now all across the app, you’ll see the term “Password” instead of “Login” because it’s just easier to understand.
CHOOSE FOLDER WHEN AUTOSAVING to organize your passwords there and then.
RENEWED IMPORT. Importing passwords in bulk is now easier than ever.
MINOR DESIGN CHANGES because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t like a good-looking app.
NORD ACCOUNT DEEPLINK FIXES. No more accidental logouts when you use NordVPN and change your IP.

NordPass 2.17

Xmas is in less than 35 days. You’re welcome.

In other news, our designers, developers, and copywriters are presenting you with another brand new update. This time we fixed the annoying-forever-loading spinner, made minor changes to the way you see your items’ details, and updated the copy to make your app even more easier to navigate. Until next time 😉

NordPass 2.16

We know you have better things to do (like keep up with the news on the current presidential election. Yikes, so intense!). So we thought, ‘who are we to bombard you with more messages?’. Poof! Your login and logout messages are gone.

To make your day a little bit brighter, we also made some improvements to your items layout. And we can describe it with just one word – SLEEK. You’ll believe it when you see it 😉

And NordPass update wouldn’t be an update without bug fixes. We did the dirty work and crushed them once again.

NordPass 2.15

Trick or treat? Treat, always. We might be a few days late to any online Halloween party, but, to make up for it, we are bringing new treats to your desktop app:

ADD ITEM IN FOLDER. You can now add items straight from your folders. Easy, breazy, and all your items are organized.
ITEM DETAILS FIXES. “There is no limit to perfection!” screams the NordPass design team. Your items will now look more beautiful than ever.
OTHER LITTLE BUG FIXES. Little bugs and spiders might fit the Halloween theme, but they don’t look good in your NordPass app. We got rid of them to make your experience smoother and safer.

NordPass 2.14

Providing high-quality password-managing experience, routine maintenance and working under-the-hood is just as essential as releasing a new shiny feature. So nothing grand this time — just the usual bug-fixing and design-improving business. We’re packing and sending best wishes along with app improvements your way!

NordPass 2.13

BUG FIXES. Sometimes you couldn’t scroll down to the end of your passwords list. You simply couldn’t. The good news is that we did some magic tricks, so now you can.
BUG FIXES. We’ve also changed the font style, the button style, and the spacing style in the context menu of your passwords list (not exactly a bug, but we wanted to keep the release notes in style).
BUG FIXES for everyone.
BUG FIXES. Sometimes you couldn’t scroll down to the end of your passwords list. You simply couldn’t. The good news is that we did some magic tricks, so now you can.

NordPass 2.12

When life gives you Monday, we release the app update. Let’s see what we’ve got:

IN-APP NOTIFICATIONS sometimes were over-competitive and tried to overlap each other. Someone smart once said that the best way to kill competition is to partner it. So after some inspiring conversations about team spirit, the attitude was fixed – all notifications now act super friendly.
DESIGN BUG FIXES. Yes, sometimes bugs may look stylish. Even pretty. They are still bugs – and they are out now.
PASSWORD HEALTH IMPROVEMENTS. The development department was very excited about changing something with the algorithm. All I know is that the health of your passwords will be calculated even more accurately. I only write release notes – please don’t judge me. And have a nice day!

NordPass 2.11

Hey there! How are you? Ready for the update? Let’s go:

BREACH REPORT. This one feels like a lottery. By clicking a ‘Scan’ button, you can find out if any of your accounts were ever caught in data breaches. However, it probably is the first lottery where it’s better not to ‘win’ anything.
DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS. They see you scrollin’, they hatin’, – because scrolling with that new scroll bar has never felt so good. Just give it a go.

NordPass 2.1

Another week – another update. Let’s roll!

DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS. Yes, we did it again. We’ve played with UI, got lost in perfecting the details. Oh, baby baby. Yes, the item lists now look neat, the font is sent from above. It all looks perfect now!
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS. Let’s be honest – after entering your Master Password to unlock the vault, the app window was getting overexcited and moved all over the place. Not that it was a bad thing – but those moves really weren’t good. So, we’ve sent the app to some dancing classes. The result – the app learned some solid, stylish but still moves – more like JLo style.

NordPass 2.9

Faster than light.
Supersonic.
Fleet-footed.
Pronto.
Winged.

We’ve spent hours trying to find the right word to describe the improved speed of opening your passwords (and other items) in the vault, but none of them was good enough. They say that action speaks a thousand words, so enjoy viewing your items at full speed.

NordPass 2.8

Passwords are more human-natured than you could possibly think. They need a safe and cozy place to stay. Most of them eat well (cheat days included 😉 ) and constantly work out to become faster and stronger. However, sometimes they also may feel weak and unwell, so regular health check-ups are crucial. Luckily, we’ve found an easy way to maintain their well-being – set up a password health checker in the app. Take a chance to make your precious passwords happier (and accounts safer) without leaving the house.

Stay safe, everyone!

NordPass 2.7

The idea of throwing this party came out of thin air. Why not, we thought – work hard, party harder, right?

So we’ve ordered lots of food and drinks (everyone was curious seeing what new employees look like when they’re drunk), brought in a magical photo booth (making selfies was too mainstream), and prized trivia (to avoid awkward silences), and live music by our beloved DJ “Vibe Manager”.

Time flew, the party’s got in full swing (no one seemed to be running out of things to talk about – phew). Even NordVPN and NordLocker stopped by. After a not-work-related heated discussion about data privacy and online security, they promised to join our “Tools” department. Like, forever.

Autofill department surprised everyone with funky moves – those icons felt like dancin’ till the break of dawn. It was fun until the ‘fun’ went out of control – and out of login fields. Luckily, after taking a chill pill, everything’s got back in order.

By the way, some unwanted URL spaces were trying to crash both the party and the app. That’s kind of rude, so we’ve asked them to leave.

We’ve finished with a small team-building session with cleaning the office – it’s now nice and clean – and so is the app (we hope so).

That’s it – peace out!

NordPass 2.6

Our engineers are all about perfection. They literally were calculating coordinates for pixel-perfect autofill icons placement. However, some “wind of change” has happened, and those icons ended up finding their home OUTSIDE the login fields. Sorry for that – this unforgivable mistake was fixed.

Also, some sneaky, crawly, totally gross bugs were caught and removed. The app is much better without them – enjoy!

NordPass 2.5

This release contains some behind-the-scenes magic, usual tinkering-under-the-hood and minor design tweaks. By hitting the “Update” button, you will get one step closer to top-notch password-managing experience. Stay well!

NordPass 2.4

They say – small changes make a big difference. Behold – the update with a bunch of app upgrades is here. Let’s see what we’ve got here:

VISUAL IMPROVEMENTS. Mirror mirror on the wall, who is prettiest of them all? Well, our designer’s brush made some magic tweaks, so the answer is clear now – it’s those tiny cute little app icons. Lookin’ good!
APP LOADING FASTER. Need for speed? You’re welcome! Fasten your seatbelt and put the pedal to the metal – the project “Make the app faster” was completed successfully.
BUG FIXES. Dear sneaky bugs, thanks for visiting, farewell, let’s never meet again.
