NordPass
three consecutive years of cure53 audits, behind closed code and a renewal price that jumps.
a consistent audit cadence from a firm that matters, undermined by closed source, a single-device free tier and the usual nord pricing pattern.
cure53 audited nordpass in 2023, 2024 and 2025, covering cryptography, source review and the desktop, browser and mobile clients, with no critical findings reported. an annual cadence from a respected firm is meaningful, and more than most closed-source rivals manage.
it is also the only entry here using xchacha20 rather than aes-256, a defensible modern choice, with encryption and decryption client-side and no vendor access to the master password claimed.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
