Finally someone who showed how the browser extension works (I actually like the in-field nordpass icon). Other reviewers just repeat facts that I can find on the nordpass website but your review shows how it actually works.
I do appreciate LastPass' auto fill but lately it's become difficult to use because when it auto fills something you don't want, you delete the text, but as soon as you delete the last character LastPass immediately autofills it again, not realizing that the user doesn't want that info in that box. (For instance when there's a shipping and mailing address field on the same page)
Nordpass needs to remove the need for the desktop app to use the browser extensions before I can even consider it. I can't install the desktop app on all my systems.
I'm someone who has been using 1Password for the past few years, and I gotta say, the UI for NordPass looks pretty impressive, and it's nice to see import options available for different password managers. Great review as always. On a side-note: I have tried BW many years ago, and I agree with you about what you said at 4:26.regarding auto-fill. I've noticed it's not so great, which is what drove me back to 1Password.
Agreed. Nordpass reviews are bought on almost every other channel. Concers exist that Nordpass is not open-source. There website talks about privacy-friendly jurisdiction, but what is that jursidiction? It's one thing to oppose court orders, it's entirely different to resist large sums of CIAsh for backdoors.
I don't think courts or the CIA are going to request user passwords from Nord, and even if they did they would only have encrypted passwords. That scenario just seems far fetched to me. Password managers are more of a security focused service and there really isn't much privacy that could be compromised (only thing I can think of is selling data about which websites you have accounts for, which wouldn't be that in-demand if at all). For VPNs, however, there is a lot of privacy that could be compromised. VPNs have full visibility into your internet traffic, so I think having an open-source VPN is important, unlike an open-source password manager. Sure, open-source is always nice, but I don't think it is necessary for a password manager. Also, for NordPass specifically, if they made it open source then their competitors could copy their superior autofill algorithms. Personally, I go with the following services: Bitdefender Total Security Proton VPN NordPass I did want to use Proton Pass, but that app is awful right now. It is still young though (
Being required to install an app on the PC you’re using in order to enable a browser extension can be problematic for many users; especially those whose IT department prohibits any installations by users. Bitwarden for me.
I wish you would have explained what open-sourced means and why it is better for a password protection app instead of just giving an opinionated conclusion.
Anyone can see the code so many people review it and find the holes in the Swiss cheese, the security flaws, so it becomes a much more secure and robust software
It's horrible. Don't waste your money. It's an extremely hard company to do business with. The customer service is the worst I've ever dealt with. I'm just a guy that wants to use this product and pay for it but they make it extremely hard. Anyone you chat with is like chatting with a doorknob. And chat as it messaging and email. You. Any call this company. Wait 24 hours for dumb responses
I currently use Microsoft Edge to save my passwords. It also syncs with my Microsoft Authenticator app. What would be the benefit of using Nordpass over Microsoft Edge?
Open source meaning it can be code reviewed by others and verify that it is truly private and not stealing data that’s what open source means on sites like Mozilla firefox

Most of those reviewers work for the products they review... that's why Lol! Or they are paid voice actors who dont actually use the product, or both!
I just deleted it. You can't find out anywhere how to delete wrong entries. (And it gets a lot of wrong entries.)

100% agree - have this problem very often with Lastpass with many sites.
why no one test also mobile app in reviews :(
I know right!
That's what I'm looking for too!

I think they removed it. I just got NordPass and I only needed the extension

Thanks for sharing!
I watched this bc I added my password and I’ve had a login from Germany 😂
What about 1password?
Thanks Tom appreciate your very objective and honest review, best on RUclips!! Have you any comments on the usability on a mobile device?

Bitwarden for me.
I like Nordpass but I went to Keeper because it allows 2FA on websites unlike Nordpass.
What's 2FA?
It does now
One of the best review's! A review should always stay ... neutral
Ya weird how there are only sponsored videos reviewing it.
Can I import from Apple keychain?
What about nordpass passkeys what you think about it

I'm sorry, but I won't pay a penny for such unfinished software. It works one moment and doesn't the next. Nothing here looks as it should.
Thank you! Finally a review that actually showcases the features. This is great.
Great review. Could you talk a bit more about why being open source is important? I didn't quite follow.

Many Other reviewers just talking sht , i guest they didnt even try the apps / extension. and just want to share the affiliate link.
I currently use Microsoft Edge to save my passwords. It also syncs with my Microsoft Authenticator app.
What would be the benefit of using Nordpass over Microsoft Edge?
Thing I hate about Microsoft authenticator is that it doesn't sync credit card info across devices
NordPass encrypts your passwords with a master password, Edge doesn't.
thanks for the vid youre a bit too close to the mic
Affiliate links = honest review?
then don't watch
so everything with affiliate links is a scam to you?

Also CyberNews: Nord Pass 😂
Holy shit, did Harold Ramis get reincarnated?
Lol!
Hey thanks.
Very well done very good review very harness review thank you very much much
Thanks, u saved me some $
Open Source DOES NOT mean that something is better. We've got to get past this silly thinking.
Open Source generally means the main userbase is full of tech nerds.
For security centered products it is objectively better.
Open source meaning it can be code reviewed by others and verify that it is truly private and not stealing data that’s what open source means on sites like Mozilla firefox
Better than having a tech corporation make every decision
What are your thoughts on 1Password? If you’ve already reviewed it & I somehow missed the video, my apologies.
its fine, all the paid password managers are all very very similar. bitwarden is the only one that is open source and mainly free for everyone
@@TomSparkReviews thank you.
DONT Buy. Scewes up often and support never emails me back!!!
