Reset Forgotten Master Passwords
The master password in EmpowerID plays a pivotal role in encrypting and decrypting your secrets and credentials. It generates a public/private key pair, guaranteeing that your encrypted data remains accessible exclusively to you. Should you forget your master password, a reset option is available; however, be aware that this action will lead to the loss of all stored passwords.
Procedure
To reset your master password in EmpowerID, follow these steps:
Using the EmpowerID navbar, navigate to Privileged Access > Secrets and Personal Creds.
Select the Privileged Access tab and expand the Secrets accordion.
Click Create Master Password.
Â
Click Yes to confirm you want to reset the master password.
Enter a password in the Password and Confirm Password fields and click OK. Please note that this password cannot be the same as the password you use to authenticate to EmpowerID.
