Reset vault password of Norton Password Manager from your mobile device
Norton Password Manager lets you reset your vault password from your mobile device only. You cannot reset your vault password from your Windows device. To reset the vault password from your mobile device, ensure that the Norton Password Manager app is installed and configured to open vault using biometric authentication.
Why am I not able to reset my vault password from my desktop or laptop computer?
Unfortunately, desktop or laptop computers do not have similar features. There is no widely available, standardized, secure hardware storage that can be used by browser extensions like Password Manager across the multiple browsers we support. We are actively exploring alternative product designs to allow a secure vault password reset to be done from your desktop/laptop computer.
We recommend following these steps for securely managing your vault password:
-
If you make a physical copy of your password, make sure that you store it very securely
-
Practice using your vault password and set a good hint to help you remember it
-
Install and set up the Password Manager mobile app to give you the option of resetting your vault password. You will need your vault password during Mobile App setup.
