Will changing my master password rotate my encryption key?

According to the description of the “Account Encryption Key” document:

Each unique Bitwarden account has an encryption key derived from your Master Password

When I change my master password, does it automatically change account’s encryption key? I think it does, but I’m not sure.

It will only rotate if you have checked the box under the new master password that states “Also rotate my account’s encryption key”

Sorry, I was not careful enough

Similarly, changing the encryption key setting (Change KDF) should not rotate the account’s encryption key, right?
