Getting Started With: NordPass

As a point of clarification: Specifically, free products from publicly traded companies are more at risk for suspicion. But research on any service is recommended.

Thank you for your reply! You’re providing a much needed service since hackers of all sorts are having a hey day with us these days! I’d appreciate videos dealing with phone security. Straight Talk recently had a rash of criminals porting peoples phones over to their devices to steal identities and cash accounts. Thanks again for your videos!

How do I make NordPass my primary option? I’m EXITING lastpass I’m so DONE with having my passwords and data stolen! I have Apple iPad & iPhone. I paid off my phone now looking to do away with Apple and ATT forever! I will not allow tracking, or blocking what I want to log into

Debi, thank you for watching and congratulations on deciding to improve your security! On iOS/iPad devices go to Settings > Passwords > Password Options. First, make sure that “AutoFill Passwords” is enabled (slider is green, not gray). Second, under “Allow Filling From:” make sure that NordPass is enabled. Finally, if you only want to use NordPass (this is recommended) then make sure to deselect the other options such as iCloud Keychain, so that your preferred password manager is the only one being used on the device. This last step to keep it clean and to not accidentally save a password in iCloud if you want it in NordPass. Hope this helps!

Are you avoiding using your Apple device as a password manager on purpose? In other words, do you not trust your iCloud Keychain?

[@jehusecurity]

Brian, the most basic reason we avoid Apple KayChain in our videos is to demonstrate the other password managers and to prevent duplicate entries or software competition between two password managers (I.e., both trying to save a password). We also aim to offer advice that requires the least complexity to implement while providing the greatest security. Since many viewers may use devices across multiple operating systems, a unified approach typically is easier to stick with. That being said, Apple’s KeyChain is actually a very secure password manager and there’s nothing we’ve seen to indicate that there is great cause for concern. If an individual uses devices almost solely within the Apple ecosystem, then we would recommend KeyChain since it is highly secured with Apple’s Secure Enclave and the plain text passwords are not synced to iCloud. There is a new iCloud Password extension for Chrome-based browsers (Edge, Chrome, and our favorite Brave). This does allow a use with Apple phones and/or tablets to use KeyChain on Windows computers.

shit i paid for this, i thought it was nord vpn

[@jehusecurity]

Malice Rising, it’s certainly unfortunate to purchase the wrong product. However, if you choose to keep it, Nord Pass is a fine way to store and use unique passwords for all your accounts.
