  1. Go to Settings > Security.

  2. Tap Change Master Password.

  3. Enter your current Master Password and tap Continue.

  4. Tap ••• at the top-right corner, and select Choose Keyfile.

  1. Locate the .enpasskey file on your device (or wherever you have saved that file).

    • You could also scan the QR code for the keyfile from your desktop.

:warning:

Keep your Keyfile safe — it cannot be recovered

Because Enpass stores no user data on company servers, Enpass cannot recover lost or forgotten keyfiles or Master Passwords. All your data is under your exclusive control. If your Master Password is lost, Enpass should be reset so you can start over as a new user.
