NordVPN sign in my account

What signing in means for NordVPN users

Nord Account vs. NordVPN app login

• Nord Account login is the central portal for all Nord services, including NordVPN.
• NordVPN app login gives you direct access to the VPN service with your Nord Account credentials or other sign-in options.
• You can manage your subscription, devices, and security settings from the Nord Account portal.

Sign-in methods

• Email and password: Use your Nord Account credentials.
• Third-party sign-ins: Google account or Apple ID can be linked for faster access.
• Nord Account codes: A six-digit code can be used as a 2FA-like alternative in some flows.
• Device-based login: Some apps offer device-based or Google/Apple sign-in integration for convenience.

Step-by-step guide

1. Go to the Nord Account login page: https://my.nordaccount.com/ or the NordVPN login option that redirects there.
2. Enter your Nord Account email and password.
3. If you enabled 2FA or a code-based sign-in, provide the code when prompted.
