Changing
the master password
Total control over the key encrypting your vault and data integrity.
The master password is the only key to your encrypted data, which is why perc.pass offers the most advanced mechanisms for its protection and update. When changing your master password, you can use the integrated leak scanner, which will instantly check whether your new password appears in global databases of compromised data. For users requiring the highest level of security, the system also allows for the customization of the number of PBKDF2 algorithm iterations, which drastically hinders brute-force attempts to crack the cipher.
The process of changing the master password is not just a simple field edit – it is a comprehensive security operation. You can decide to automatically recalculate and change the keys of all groups you own, which forces the re-encryption of your resources and raises the bar of protection to a new level. Upon completion of the operation, the system will automatically log you out of all deviced, ensuring that every active session uses the latest security standard. You will be immediately informed about every such action via mail, maintaining full oversight over access to your digital legacy.
