Where Does NordPass Store Local Data and Logs?

Where the NordPass desktop app keeps local data, cache and logs.

Last updated

NordPass is an Electron app, so its Roaming AppData folder holds Cache, GPUCache, Local Storage and logs beside the encrypted vault cache. The program itself installs per user under Local Programs.

Treat the folder as cache. Vault contents sync from the account after unlock, and support troubleshoots from the log files inside. Uninstalls leave the data folder behind, so delete it by hand for a full wipe.

Where NordPass stores this, by platform

Windows
%APPDATA%\NordPass\

Electron data root with cache, storage and logs. Send log files from here to support. Install binaries live separately under Local Programs nordpass. Sign in fresh on new machines rather than copying.

macOS
~/Library/Application Support/NordPass/

Same logs and cache role under Application Support. Use Go to Folder in Finder. Linux snap builds use the snap common logs directory instead.

Frequently asked questions

Support asked for NordPass logs. Where are they?

Open the Roaming NordPass folder and send the log files support names. macOS uses Application Support NordPass logs, while Linux snap builds keep theirs under the snap common logs path.

How do I move NordPass to a new computer?

Sign in fresh on the new machine instead of copying the folder. The vault is zero knowledge with keys on your devices, so the local cache rebuilds after authentication and stale copies buy nothing.
