NordVPN is a pretty well known and popular VPN service. The same developer yesterday announced its own password manager, NordPass.
So far, there are only those for NordPass official announcement of the provider. The service itself is currently not yet available, and it is not known when it will be available. It is also still unclear whether the new password manager will cost anything. The developers could possibly opt for a subscription model, as is also used at NordVPN.

NordPass: This is what the new password manager offers
The knowledge about online security that the provider gathered with NordVPN will also be applied to the new manager. You can already see this with the standard that is used locally on the end device for backing up the passwords, which is called AES-256-GCM. This is responsible for the encryption and is considered unbreakable. Second, the providers implemented "zero-knowledge" encryption on the server side. This means that only the end user himself has access to the passwords and they cannot be viewed by the user. Auto-fill also comes with NordPass. We will report again when the service is available and how it performs in everyday life.
