    Hello @SebTM, and welcome to the forum!

    It is indeed possible to regenerate your Account Key. Here's how:

    • Sign in to your account on 1Password.com in your browser.
    • Choose My Profile under the Account menu.

    • Click the blue circled pencil under Sign-In Details.

    • Enter the Master Password for your account, then click Regenerate Account Key, in the Account Key box that pops up.

    After regenerating your Account Key you'll need a new Emergency Kit with your new Account Key. It'll also be necessary to sign in to your 1Password account again (using the new Account Key) on any devices that you signed in before (with the old Account Key).

    And that'll do it. If you run into any trouble please let us know where you're stuck and we'll be happy to help you get it sorted out. Cheers! :smile:

    You're welcome, @SebTM. Must admit it had temporarily been in my blind spot while focusing too much on the Change Master Password button. :lol:
