Open Password GeneratorCtrl + Shift + G (Cmd + Shift + G on Mac)
Lock VaultCtrl + Shift + L (Cmd + Shift + L on Mac)

Hidden Features Most People Miss

NordPass Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake #1: Using a Weak Master Password

❌ Wrong: Setting your Master Password to something short or easy to guess like “password123!”

✅ Right: Create a Master Password with 12+ characters, mixing letters, numbers, and symbols. Use a passphrase like “Tiger$Rain7!Moon” for strength and recall.

Mistake #2: Skipping the Recovery Code

❌ Wrong: Ignoring the Recovery Code prompt during setup and forgetting your Master Password później.

✅ Right: Generate your Recovery Code right after creating your account. Store it in a safe, offline location like a physical safe.

Mistake #3: Not Importing Existing Passwords

❌ Wrong: Adding passwords one by one manually instead of bulk importing them.

✅ Right: Use the import feature to bring in all passwords from your browser or a CSV file at once. It takes under a minute.

NordPass Troubleshooting

Problem: Autofill Not Working on a Website

Cause: Some websites block password manager extensions or use non-standard login forms.

Naprawić: Right-click the login field and select “NordPass” from the context menu. If that fails, copy-paste the password manually from your vault.

Problem: Browser Extension Not Appearing

Cause: The extension may be disabled, outdated, or hidden in the browser toolbar.

Naprawić: Go to your browser’s extension settings and make sure NordPass is enabled and pinned to the toolbar. Update it if a new version is available.

Problem: Vault Not Syncing Across Urządzenia

Cause: You may be logged into different Nord accounts, or the device lacks internet access.

Naprawić: Confirm you’re using the same Nord account on all devices. Check your internet connection and manually trigger a sync from settings.

📌 Notatka: If none of these fix your issue, contact NordPass support.
