Inlockly vs NordPass
NordPass is a password manager from the makers of NordVPN. Both use zero-knowledge encryption - the differences are in the free plan, sharing, and how the family plan works.
Last checked: October 5, 2026
01 / At a glance
02 / Key differences
Free NordPass allows one active session at a time - signing in on your phone signs out your computer. Inlockly Personal works on all your devices at once.
In NordPass, you can only share an item with another NordPass user. Inlockly sends a secure link to anyone - like your plumber or babysitter.
Shared vaults with permissions, an admin dashboard, and moving items between vaults - your family shares exactly what it wants.
Overwrote a password or deleted a note by accident? In Inlockly, you can undo the change with 30 days of history for entire items.
Pay monthly or yearly, at the same transparent price. No need to sign up for two years to get a good deal.
Password health and breach alerts in one place - the counterpart to NordPass's Password Health and Data Breach Scanner.

04 / Making the switch
In the NordPass desktop app settings, choose to export items and save the CSV file.
Open import in the Inlockly app and select the file. Your data is encrypted on your device before it reaches the cloud.
The export file isn't encrypted - delete it after importing. Then install Inlockly on your phone and in your browser.
Import is available on every plan, including Free. Import guide ↗
05 / Good to know
You can install it on several devices, but on the free plan only one session is active at a time - signing in on a second device ends the session on the first. With Inlockly Personal, you use all your devices at once.
No - you can only share items with other NordPass users. From the Personal plan, Inlockly creates a secure link anyone can open, even without an account.
Both ciphers are considered secure and are used in modern systems. What matters more is where your data is encrypted - in both Inlockly and NordPass, it happens on your device, using a zero-knowledge model.
Export your items from the NordPass desktop app to a CSV file, then import the file in the Inlockly app. Delete the export file when you're done.
