Why Do I Need to Contact Support to Reset My Client Key?
Your Client Key is a critical security feature that helps protect your passwords and other sensitive data. It’s unique to you, and for your safety, we require verification before resetting it. This ensures that only you can access and manage your information securely.
Note: Because resetting a Client Key permanently erases all stored Vault data, our support verification process ensures you understand the risk and have a chance to back up any important information before proceeding.
