Signup and Setup Your Free NordPass Account
Catawba Valley Community College’s CyberSecurity Center of Excellence has partnered with NordSecurity to provide free access to all students, faculty, and staff, to the NordPass password manager tool for two years (starting in August of 2023).
NordPass is an innovative password management solution designed for a simpler and safer online experience on any device. NordPass generates strong passwords, detects weak passwords, puts biometrics to use, stores everything (including secure notes and credit card information), keeps secrets safe, and frees your memory.
Only CVCC students and employees are eligible to access this exciting tool. Fill out the quick form to receive directions for getting started with your very own free NordPass account!
