Forgot Your KeePass Password? DoNotPay Can Help!

Using a password manager is smart security. That's nothing new. However, the best password managers like KeePass keep your credentials locked behind a single "master" password that only you know. KeePass is a free, open-source password manager, which helps you manage your passwords securely. Because your passwords are securely stored, KeePass makes maintaining secure, unique passwords easier. But what happens if you forgot your KeePass password?

If you lose or forget your KeePass master password, getting it isn't as simple as just clicking a "forgot password" button, as you would for any other account on the web. If it was, your passwords wouldn't be as secure as they should. In most cases, you have to jump through a few hoops — or you can't get it at all. DoNotPay can help make it easy for you to recover your KeePass password - all you have to do is provide us with information regarding your account, and we'll contact KeePass on your behalf.

Why Use KeePass to Secure Your Passwords?

You need a password for many websites, your email account, your webserver, network logins - the list is endless. Also, you should use a different password for each account because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password, they will have access to all of your accounts.

KeePass lets you secure your password vault with a master password, so you only have to remember one single master key to unlock the whole database. Since your password vault is always stored on your computer, you never have to worry about a third party getting their hands on it. It allows you to keep track of all your usernames and passwords in one location, and it will auto-fill in the passwords for you if you like. You can also sync it across devices using Dropbox or Google Drive.

KeePass supports several encryption standards to encrypt its password databases:

1. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256)
2. ChaCha20
3. Twofish algorithm

It encrypts the entire database and uses SHA-256 to hash the master key components, protects passwords even when KeePass is running, and makes dictionary and brute-force attacks harder by using key derivation functions.

How to Reset Your KeePass Password by Yourself

If you're locked out because you changed your password and have backups of your old vault, you can restore from backups and use the old password. But if you have forgotten your password, you can recover your KeePass password by following these steps:

• Enter your email address to initiate the account recovery process
• Enter a backup verification code
• Answer your security question
• Enter your Two-Factor Verification code (if enabled)
• Enter a new Master Password

Once you have recovered your KeePass password and would like to change it, make a backup of your database, click on file > change master password and then type your password in. Close the database and reopen it to check if your password is correct.

If You Still Can't Change Your KeePass Password

If you follow the steps above and you still can't reset your password, you might consider trying to crack your KeePass database. However, this is most likely a bad idea, and we don't recommend it since KeePass has built-in protection against brute force and cracking attempts.
