If you can sign in to your account on 1Password.com, you can change your password.

The password you use to sign in to 1Password.com and unlock the 1Password apps is your account password.

If you forgot your password and you prepared your Emergency Kit, check the password field. You can ask a family or team member to recover your account, or use a recovery code if you’ve generated one. Otherwise, follow the steps below to try to recover it.

Wenn du glaubst, dass du dich an dein Kontopasswort erinnerst

If you believe you know your account password, but it isn’t accepted, try these steps:

  • Make sure you’re typing lowercase and uppercase letters correctly.

  • Type your password in another app, like a text editor, so you can see that you’ve entered it correctly. Then copy and paste it into 1Password.

  • If you’ve ever changed your account password, try previous ones. If you can unlock the 1Password app, but you can’t sign in to your account, copy your data to a new account.

  • If you have multiple 1Password accounts, try your other account passwords.

  • If your password has spaces, try it with and without spaces.

  • If your password has accents or special characters, try it with and without them.

  • If you use multiple languages, make sure you’re using the correct keyboard layout when you enter your password.

Wenn du die App mit deinem vorherigen Passwort entsperren kannst

If you can unlock the 1Password app with your previous password, but you can’t sign in to your account, you’ll still have access to your data locally, but it won’t sync. Recover your data by copying it to a new account:

  1. Sign up at https://start.1password.com/sign-up

    You'll need a different email address to create a new account.

  2. Download your Emergency Kit and write your new 1Password account password.
  3. Add your new account to the 1Password app.
  4. Copy your items to your new account.
  5. Remove the old account from the app.

Zu deiner Sicherheit lautet dein Kontopasswort:

  • never transmitted over the internet
  • never logged locally
  • never known to us at 1Password
  • nur dir bekannt
  • die einzige Möglichkeit, deine Daten zu entschlüsseln

This makes sure that your data is safe from intruders, but it also means that no one can reset your password. However, you might be able to recover access to your data.
