Rotating your account's encryption key

During a password change operation you also have the option to rotate (change) your account's encryption key. Rotating the encryption key is a good idea if you believe that your previous master password was compromised or that your SecretSafe data was stolen from one of your devices.

danger

Rotating your account's encryption key is a sensitive operation, which is why it is not a default option. A key rotation involves generating a new, random encryption key for your account and re-encrypting all safe data using this new key.

Because your account's encryption key changes, any old sessions with a SecretSafe application that you may be logged into with your account will still have the old, incorrect encryption key. If you make any changes to your account's safe data with an old encryption key, that data will become corrupted and unrecoverable. After rotating your account's encryption key it is very important that you completely log out and back in to all SecretSafe applications where you are using that account. Logging out and back in will ensure that your account has downloaded its new encryption key. We will attempt to log you out of all SecretSafe applications automatically, but it may not happen immediately.
