- NordPass has added a TOTP authenticator directly to the app
- No more slow and painful switching between login and authenticators
- Authentication can be synchronized between the app and the browser extension.
NordPass, one of the best password managers, has improved account security for all users by adding an additional authentication method for all personal accounts.
The time-based one-time password authenticator is now included by default within the NordPass app and includes biometric verification to help ensure that only the legitimate user can access the authentication codes.
To make the process seamless, users can autofill authentication codes directly from the NordPass app without having to navigate to a separate authenticator app.

The authenticator also allows users to automatically fill in codes on any device they use through the NordPass mobile app and browser extension, making logging into each account faster and easier.
“Personal users often rely on multiple apps and methods to manage passwords and second-factor authentication codes. This makes login flows inconvenient. Instead of navigating between multiple apps, NordPass users can now securely access the verification code within the password manager using their biometrics, then copy the authentication code from the vault or autofill it directly on the website,” said Karolis Arbačiauskas, head of product at NordPass.
To configure a stored credential with the new TOTP authenticator, users must first add the TOTP configuration key to each credential in the vault. The codes will then be generated when the user attempts to log in to the corresponding account.
Typically, password managers and authenticator apps have been two separate apps, making the process of authenticating a login slow and complicated. By integrating the authenticator directly into the NordPass app, users will benefit from a secure and seamless login experience.
Two-factor authentication is one of the best ways to protect online accounts, making them resilient against phishing attacks and credential theft. Until the digital world moves towards universalizing passcodes, a password manager along with two- or multi-factor authentication is your best friend for account security.
