Objective

Changing your backup password is quick and will automatically sync across all devices registered to your account.

Note: If your tokens are currently decrypted on your active device, you do not need to know your old password to change it; you can simply set a new one using the steps below.

Once updated, your other synchronized devices will prompt you for this newly set password to decrypt your tokens.

Alert: The Backups password is never sent or stored in our servers for your security, so make sure you write it down somewhere safe, and/or use a password only you know. Users without the valid backups password will be unable to decrypt synchronized tokens. For more information, please see What is a Backup Password? Can it be recovered?.
