How can I change database authentication in Password Depot?

Launch Password Depot and open the database of which the authentication method should be changed.

  1. In the menu, go to Database and select the option “Properties”. 

  2. In the “General” tab, go to the “Authentication” section and click the “Change” button.

  3. Next, please enter your current access data first and afterwards click "Next". A new dialog window opens. You can now select another authentication and create a new master password and/or key file.

Note: If, during this process, you receive an error and thus cannot save the new authentication, we recommend a database cleanup as described in the article below:
