NordPass is a solid pick if your household already uses NordVPN and wants one vendor for both. The App Store listing describes a zero-knowledge vault using XChaCha20 encryption with Argon2id key derivation, and an independent audit by Cure53. The vault stores unlimited passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi codes, credit cards and documents, and autofill saves new passwords as you create accounts. Password Health highlights weak or reused passwords, the Data Breach Scanner alerts you when logins, emails or payment cards appear in known incidents, and the built-in authenticator can autofill one-time codes. Unlocking supports Face ID, Touch ID and security keys. A free tier exists, and the 12-Month Plan lists at $34.99 in the US App Store, about $2.92 a month. NordPass's own pricing page blocked our checks, so we could not confirm family or business prices, and the App Store shows several 12-month offers at different prices. It is capable, but less documented for family sharing than the top three.
