I am extremely disapointed in this app. I run a dual boot machine with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04, and the NordPass browser extension and desktop app used to work perfectly, however in the past month I have noticed that the browser extension no longer works in Ubuntu. The browser extension no longer logs in, rather it is stuck with the loading circle in an infinite loop.
I have tried both the Chrome and Firefox extensions with the same issue. The Windows version however seems to work normally, without any issue logging into and using the browser extension.
I even talked to NordPass's technical support, who guided me to uninstall and reinstall both the desktop app and the browser extension. This worked, however after powering down and booting up the next day, I found that I had the same loading issue with the extension as before, with only solution to uninstall and reinstall the app and extension again. Having to uninstall and reinstall every time I turn on my computer is simply unacceptable.
While Linux distributions only make up a small minority of desktop users, it is still NordVPN's responsibility to ensure that their software works as intended on all platforms that they support. Not being able to use the browser extension makes this application extremely slow and bothersome to use as I have to search for and copy a password everytime I login to a site on my browser, which is not what I paid for. Unless this issue is not fixed soon, I will be canceling my subscription to NordPass. Using NordPass with its current issues feels more like using buggy freeware, not a paid software from a respected company. I hope this issue is fixed soon.
