Set Up Flowcrypt on Another Device When Forgot Your Passphrase

I’m setting up FlowCrypt on another computer and I do not know/remember what my passphrase is.

For your information, on the first computer that I installed FlowCrypt, Chrome works fine.

Here is the question:

Is it possible to make it work both for Firefox and Chrome? Is it possible to make it work for both computers?


Definitely! You can make it work in both Chrome and Firefox, on both computers.

Go to the computer and browser where it works. Go to the FlowCrypt SettingsSecurity ⮕ click Change passphrase. After, you’ll be prompted to do a new backup that uses the new passphrase.

After that, close the tab on the new computer and try to set up FlowCrypt again on the new computer. You’ll be able to use the new passphrase.

I’ve set the new passphrase and made it work on my second computer.

Thanks
