I forgot master password but have access to vault through chrome extention and I can use all features through the extention which do not need master password. Is it possible to retrieve or reset my master password through the extension?

Try the following procedure (which I’ve tested for version 2024.6.2 of the Chrome browser extension; minor adjustments may be necessary for other versions): Open and unlock the browser extension, and then use the pop-out button :arrow_upper_left: to open the browser extension in a floating browse…

Thanks for your reply. I saw the link you pointed to but was not helpful for my case. What i did is that: I found an old export file from bitwaurden.I imported it to chrome password manager.I updated the passwords which were changed by getting them from bitw into chrome pass manager which I am usi…

Thank you for your advises. Best regards.

It works like a charm.I was able to get a json backup.I’ll proceed to cancel my old account and open a new one then import the exported data. Thank you very much

You’re welcome, glad it worked for you! Don’t forget to download your file attachments before deleting your old account (if you have any), since attached files are not included in the .json export.

Actually, the previous method does work when you don’t refresh the page after execution and just enter a random password when prompted (or at least it seems to work for me). Maybe I just haven’t updated my Bitwarden client :joy:

After further testing, I see that the “short” method does still work in Chrome (at least in version 2024.6.2), but I am unable to make it work in Edge (also version 2024.6.2), or in Firefox (version 2024.6.3). Hoping that @Quexten will see this and have some time to clarify.
