Change password

Your password is like your shortcut to accessing your wallet the keys inside. Your password decrypts your wallet locally on your device. Your password is never sent to our servers. This way no one can access your wallet and, therefore, your data other than yourself or anyone you have invited to a vault.

When you choose your password we evaluate it based on common passwords and patterns like dates, repeats (`aaa`), sequences (`abcd`), keyboard patterns (`qwertyuiop`) and l33t speak, all of which is referenced by password crackers. We enforce the strongest setting for your password to make it almost impossible that you will end up with a weak password susceptible to attacks.

We recommend using an encrypted password manager to manage this and all your passwords.

You can change your password by going to Settings > Security > Change password. Unlike most digital service providers, we can’t reset your password if you forget it, as the password is never communicated to us. If you forget the password, you must use your recovery phrase to reset the password.
