Vilket Namn 2 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hello. I have a problem with the new upgrade of password manager. In particular, I can not figure out how to us this tool in my pc. Instructions provided in this link didn't help me. What is this "24-digit recovery key" being asked and where can I find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It case be saved as a pdf or copied to a safe storage. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ana13 0 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Same problem here. I cannot login into upgraded version of password manager using old credentials (which still work on the other device where I did not perform an upgrade). I tried to reset a password, but it asks a recovery key which i never received during initial registration. Another issue arose from the importing database from the V2 to V3 (imported file is .xml). Upgraded version is not combining multiple logins, so if you have 2+ logins on website, you will have to input additional logins manually, then assign this website as unique. Which makes the whole process time consuming. This issue is not arising when you simply login into pass manager under your old credentials. Customer support could not help me and said they will forward that issue to the developers. I hope someone got this issue resolved and has a solution.

ESET Moderators Peter Randziak 1,130 Posted October 30, 2020 ESET Moderators Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hello, the recovery key is generated locally in the browser. For security reasons no one else has access to it, you can navigate to the settings, change the password and new recovery key will be generated for you.

I cannot find it You have to download password manager extension on your browser. The new one. Then, simply open the extension and select "I forgot my password". I think this is the way I did it.
