Keep reading and see how quickly and easily you can get it done and what steps you’ll need to follow.

How to Change Your Master Password on Bitwarden

To change your Bitwarden master password, you’ll need to go to their official site. Sign into your account using your login info, and once you’re in, click on the Security option from the list on your left. At the top, you’ll see the option to change your current master password. You’ll need to enter your current master password and the new one.

You’ll also see a message warning you that by changing your master password, you’ll be logged out of your current session. There will also be options such as:

• Check known data breaches for this password
• Also, rotate my account’s encryption key

If you get an error message, there is a good chance that you may have entered the password incorrectly. This is common since you cannot view the password as you type it. Since you may not know where you made the mistake, it’s best to start over. You will see an indication of how strong your password is. You’ll either see weak, good, or strong. When you’re happy with your added password, click on the Change Master password button at the bottom.

Below where you enter the password, you’ll see a message letting you know that that password has to be at least 12 characters long and that Bitwarden will not remember the password for you.
