Your Master Password is the key to all your Password Boss account information. It is important that you never forget it and that you never share it with anyone.
Before changing your Master Password
Before you change your Master Password, we recommend that you ensure each device is up to date with your recent changes. When changing your Master Password, if you have any changes that are not synchronized across all of your devices, those changes may be lost after you change your Master Password.
Using the Backup Now function on each device will synchronize them. You can backup one device at a time using the Backup Now option in the app's Settings section. This will help ensure that all your devices have the latest changes to your master password.
