What “password manager” are you running now?
Norton Password Manager stores your credentials in an encrypted online vault, meaning your passwords are stored in the cloud.
Norton Password Manager vault access requires your Norton account credential + you vault password.
========================================================
AI Overview
Norton Password Manager securely stores and manages your passwords and personal information, syncing them across devices. It offers features like passwordless vault unlock, a safety dashboard for vault health, and a password generator. It can also automatically change passwords on supported websites.
Secure Storage
Norton Password Manager creates an encrypted “vault” in the cloud to store your passwords and other sensitive information.
This vault is protected by your master password and can also utilize two-factor authentication for added security.
Norton itself cannot access your vault data, ensuring a high level of privacy.
Automatic Filling
The password manager automatically fills in login details and other saved information on websites and apps.
This eliminates the need to manually enter usernames and passwords, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
Password Management
Password Generator: It can generate strong, unique passwords for your online accounts.
Safety Dashboard: This feature analyzes your stored passwords, identifying weak or reused passwords and suggesting improvements.
AutoChange Password: On supported websites, it can automatically change your password to a strong, randomly generated one, directly within the password manager.
Cross-Device Synchronization
Norton Password Manager syncs your data across all your devices (desktops, laptops, mobile phones, etc.).
This ensures that your passwords and personal information are readily available wherever you need them.
Other Features
Passwordless Vault Unlock: This feature allows you to unlock your vault on your computer by approving a notification on your mobile device.
Biometric Unlock: On mobile devices, you can use fingerprint or facial recognition to unlock your vault.
Wallet: Stores credit card information securely.
Addresses: Saves your address details for easy online form filling.
Notes: Stores any other text-based information securely.

===============================================
AI Overview
Norton Password Manager employs a zero-knowledge security model, meaning it encrypts and decrypts your data locally on your device using your master password. This ensures that only you, with your unique password, can access your stored information, and Norton itself cannot view or access your passwords or other sensitive data.
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
Norton Password Manager’s architecture is designed so that your data is encrypted on your device before it’s ever sent to Norton’s servers.
Encryption and Decryption
The encryption process uses a strong AES-256 encryption algorithm, which is nearly unbreakable. The decryption process, where your data is converted back into readable form, can only be done with your vault password.
No Access for Norton
Because Norton doesn’t know your vault password, they cannot decrypt your data, even if they wanted to. This protects your information from potential insider threats, accidental leaks, or breaches of Norton’s servers.
Importance of the Vault Password
Your vault password is the key to accessing your encrypted data. It’s crucial to choose a strong, unique password and to keep it safe, as it’s the only way to decrypt and access your stored information.
