Secret key CHANGE question

I think the secret key encryption element is really really good. Is there a procedure to periodically CHANGE (rotate) the secret key?

    @mjwinal yup, log into the website, just go under my profile in the upper right hand corner you'll see "manage", that's a drop down, and you'll see "regenerate secret key".

    Hi @mjwinal,

    prime has got the correct procedure outlined. :) Please note though that it isn't necessary to change the Secret Key unless you believe it may be compromised. Doing so will invalidate your Emergency Kit (you'll need to generate and print a new one) and you'll also need to log back in on any devices you've authorized.

    Thanks!

    Ben

    Thank you for this post. Just to add to Ben's comments, once you've reset the Secret Key, you're prompted to save a copy. Do so immediately so you have a backup. And as Ben mentioned, you need to reauthorize your devices. I had my iPad and iPhone with me as I reset my Secret Key using my personal computer. From start to finish, it's only a couple of minutes.

    Again, thanks for this helpful post.
