Changing your master password

How to change your Vallkey master password, what happens on your other devices, and why nobody can reset it for you.

Change it

Open Account, choose to change your master password, and enter your current one and the new one.

Choose something long that you’ll remember: a phrase of a few unrelated words works well. It’s the one password Vallkey can’t keep for you.

What happens next

  • This device stays logged in.
  • Your other devices are signed out. Each asks for the new password at its next sync, and keeps the changes it hadn’t sent yet.
  • Your items don’t change. Changing the password rewraps one key. Nothing in your vaults is encrypted again, and nothing is shared differently.
  • Face ID, Touch ID and other biometric unlocks keep working on the devices where you turned them on.
  • Your Secret Key stays the same.

If you forgot it

Nobody can reset your master password: Vallkey never has it. Use your recovery code, or your family organizer’s help, to choose a new one. See Recovering your account.

If someone may have learned it

Change it, and sign out any device you don’t recognize under Account: see Your devices. Without your Secret Key they couldn’t log in anyway, but change it all the same.
