What happens if I forget my Master Password?

Asked a year ago
If you forget your Master Password for 1Password, unfortunately, there is no way to recover or reset it. This is due to the high security measures put in place to protect your information. 1Password employs end-to-end encryption to ensure that only you have access to your data. Therefore, even their support team cannot access your passwords or help you regain access to your account without the Master Password. It is crucial to remember and protect your Master Password, as losing it means you will no longer be able to access your stored data. 1Password encourages users to use secure methods to store their Master Password, like a trusted password manager, to avoid forgetting it and losing access to their important information.
