Step 3: Choose How You Want to Start

You’ll see two options:

Option 1: Import Items

  • Ideal if you’ve saved passwords in Chrome, Firefox, or another manager

  • Great for fast, bulk imports

Option 2: Add Your First Password

  • Best if you’re starting fresh

  • Perfect for adding your most-used logins (email, affiliate accounts, website, etc.)

Step 4: What Happens Now?

Once you save your first login (like your NordVPN affiliate dashboard):

  • NordPass will auto-detect the login field when you revisit the site

  • You’ll only need to enter your master password to unlock the vault

  • It autofills your credentials — securely and instantly

💡 Bonus Tip:
Enable biometric login (fingerprint or face ID) for even faster access.
