# Change Master Password

Users can change their master password from WALLIX Vault. This requires remembering the current master password.

This procedure is similar to the [<span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Reset Master Password Procedure</span>](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/106), which is used when the User cannot remember their current Master Password.

Click on the **User Icon,** on the top right-hand side of the screen, to display the **User Menu**.

In the **Confirm new master password** field, re-enter the new master password chosen.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In the [<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Master password hint</span>](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/48) field, enter the Master Password Hint that you created when you [<span style="text-decoration: underline;">created your Account</span>](https://vault-doc.wallix.com/link/4).</span>

The **Check known data breaches for this password** checkbox is checked by default. This can be unchecked if you do not wish to check for known data breaches related to your new chosen password.

The **Also rotate my account's encryption key** checkbox is unchecked by default. This can be unchecked if you wish to rotate your account's encryption key.

Click **Change master password** button to change your master password. This will **log you out** of your current session on all devices and you will be required to **log back in** with your **new master password**.

The following screen is displayed showing a **Master Password reset confirmation** message.
