NordPass
Why use a business password manager?
The benefits of good password management (besides the obvious cybersecurity aspect).
Strong passwords without friction
- NordPass helps employees create strong, unique passwords and autofill them.
Secure sharing with permissions (no copy/paste)
- Share company accounts via shared folders/vaults, with control over who can view or use what.
Faster onboarding & offboarding
- New colleague? Access in minutes. Someone leaves? You keep company ownership and can transfer/recover access where needed.
More control for IT & management
- With company-wide policies (e.g., minimum length, complexity, expiry rules) you standardize password hygiene and reduce risk.
Why NordPass Business?
Key features that make NordPass unique.
Modern security architecture (zero-knowledge)
NordPass is designed so sensitive keys are used locally; when locked, keys are removed from memory.
Encryption (XChaCha20-Poly1305 + Argon2id)
While many password managers use AES-256, NordPass uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 for vault encryption and Argon2id for key derivation. This isn’t “made up” crypto, it’s a modern, well-known set of building blocks used in today’s security engineering.
Built-in authenticator (TOTP codes in your vault)
You can store 2FA codes and autofill them from NordPass (useful for teams and shared accounts). Availability may depend on plan and organizational settings.
Administrator features for businesses
Depending on your plan, you can get:
Central control & credential tracking
Activity logs for organization actions
SSO (e.g., Entra ID, ADFS, Okta) in higher tiers
User & group provisioning (SCIM) (e.g., Entra ID/Okta) in higher tiers
Encryption & security
The leading security provided by the NordPass platform for password management.
NordPass combines modern encryption (XChaCha20-Poly1305 + Argon2id) with a zero-knowledge architecture and independent assurance (ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and Cure53 audits). It’s built to be secure by design and practical to roll out company-wide.
TOTP & 2FA codes
Reduce account lockouts and improve productivity.
NordPass includes a built-in authenticator to store/generate TOTP codes inside the same vault, including organizational workflows. Availability may depend on your plan.

NordPass compared to other platforms
Most top password managers are built with security in mind. The differences are usually:
Ease of use and adoption
Admin experience & policies
Integrations (SSO/SCIM)
How sharing and permissions work for teams
Which encryption building blocks they choose (NordPass: XChaCha20, many others: AES-256)
In short: if you want a modern, accessible solution that rolls out smoothly in SMB/KMO environments, and still offers mature admin options as you grow, NordPass is a strong choice.




What do companies expect from a business password manager?
In this section, we look at why companies come to us for NordPass integration.
Why companies switch in the first place
The drivers are almost always the same:
- Less account takeover & phishing damage (weak/reused passwords remain a top cause)
- Faster onboarding/offboarding (central access control)
- Auditability & compliance (who had access and when?)
- Less “shadow IT” (replacing Excel/Notes/Slack as a password vault)
The NordPass platform positions itself strongly on usability, modern cryptography, admin features. This includes policies, activity logs, and SSO/provisioning.
The must-haves
Almost every company that compares seriously looks for:
Zero-knowledge / end-to-end encryption (the provider cannot read your vault)
Team sharing with permissions (shared vaults/folders, read-only vs full rights)
Admin controls (policies, role management, recovery/ownership when someone leaves)
Integrations
SSO (Google Workspace, Entra ID/Azure AD, Okta, ADFS)
Provisioning (SCIM) for automatic join/leave
Logging & security monitoring (activity logs; SIEM export is a plus)
2FA/MFA and ideally built-in TOTP (codes stored in the vault, potentially shareable)
Adoption & usability (if employees don’t use it, the project fails)
How AXENIUS helps with setup, migration and management
Buying a password manager is one thing, implementing it properly is where the real value is. We handle this end-to-end.
Implementation & migration
We design your vault and folder structure with clear sharing permissions, migrate credentials from browsers, Excel, or another password manager, and configure policies for password strength and sharing. If needed, we also set up SSO/SCIM and validate everything through a controlled test flow.
Assessment & recommendation
We assess your user count, team structure, and any shared accounts. We also review your compliance requirements (e.g., ISO 27001 or NIS2) and whether you need SSO/SCIM, logging, or data exports.
Adoption
We run a short 30–45 minute employee training session, provide clear step-by-step documentation for your team, and share practical best practices, such as using passkeys where available and avoiding shared logins unless absolutely necessary.
Management
We handle onboarding and offboarding, run periodic access reviews to keep permissions clean, and monitor activity logs to continuously improve security and governance.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about our company.
Private key encryption (Vault): XChaCha20-Poly1305 (authenticated encryption)
Key derivation (Master password): Argon2id
Architecture: private key is unlocked locally, when locked, the key is wiped from memory (zero-knowledge approach)
Not “proprietary” in the sense of being self-invented. NordPass uses modern, widely recognized algorithms with a notable difference: for vault encryption it uses XChaCha20-Poly1305, while many competitors use AES-256 as their default.
NordPass uses XChaCha20-Poly1305, a modern alternative to AES-256 known for strong security properties and performance, while most password managers use AES-256.
| Vendor | Symmetric encryption | KDF / key strengthening | Source |
| NordPass | XChaCha20-Poly1305 | Argon2id (more resistant to cracking) | (NordPass) |
| 1Password | AES-GCM-256 | PBKDF2 + Secret Key (2SKD design) | (1Password) |
| Bitwarden | AES-256 (CBC) | PBKDF2 or Argon2 (configurable) | (Bitwarden) |
| Dashlane | AES-256 | Argon2 (migrated from PBKDF2) | (Dashlane) |
| LastPass | AES-256 | PBKDF2-SHA256 | (lastpass.com) |
| Keeper | AES-256 | PBKDF2 | (Keeper® Password Manager & Digital Vault) |
Key takeaway: Most password managers use AES-256, while NordPass uses XChaCha20-Poly1305 combined with Argon2id a modern, OWASP-recommended approach for strengthening master passwords. Argon2id is the best because it combines Argon2i’s side-channel resistance with Argon2d’s stronger protection against cracking attacks.
