When should you generate a new emergency kit?

I understand that a new emergency kit should be generated after an account has been recovered. Should one also be generated if a member's master password has changed, or will the account key remain the same even after a master password change?

    Hey @DaveyDave! Great question. It depends how you wrote your Master Password on the Emergency Kit when you printed it originally. If you used a pencil like me (0.5mm, it's the best), you can just erase that and write your new one. If you used a pen and don't mind using another piece of paper, then go with another copy. Your Master Password is not added to your Emergency Kit automatically because it's an unencrypted PDF that you may store on your computer, and we don't want your Account Key and Master Password to just be sitting there. ;) The QR code on the Emergency Kit has your sign-in address, email, and Account Key, so you need to generate a new Emergency Kit when you regenerate your Account Key. Hope that helps.
