NORDPASS PASSWORD MANAGER FREE
If you, like many of us, have been happily using LastPass's excellent free tier for the last few years, you're probably dismayed that LastPass is moving to change the way its free access works. Using LastPass? You need to switch urgently, says security firmīig tech firms are teaming up to banish passwords for good If you use this free password manager, your passwords might be at risk Hackers may have stolen the master key to another password manager If the project’s traction continues, weak logins like “Password123” could be a thing of the past. In May 2022, Apple, Google, and Microsoft announced they were working together with the FIDO Alliance to build a better alternative to passwords, and passkeys are the result of that collaboration. Fellow password manager 1Password says it will support passkeys in “early 2023,” while there are several other apps and websites where you can use passkeys to log in, from Kayak to Best Buy.

NordPass is not the only app making moves in this area.

You don’t need to remember a passkey, though, reducing the likelihood that you’ll cut corners and reduce your security. It’s difficult to create and remember complex passwords, and many people default to simplistic passwords and then use them on multiple accounts, thereby greatly increasing the risks to their secure data if one account gets compromised. The benefit of using passkeys is that they remove some of the human error element. That’s important in ensuring there are no gaps in your login security. Because NordPass offers apps on Mac, PC, iOS, Android, and Linux, it means you will be able to use its passkey feature on almost any platform you come across.
