This topic explains how to create a recovery code for your F-Secure ID PROTECTION master password.
Important: We strongly recommend that you also create a recovery code for the master password as soon as you have taken F-Secure ID PROTECTION into use. It is the only way for you to regain your master password if you forget it.
To create your master password recovery code:
-
- Open F-Secure ID PROTECTION.
- Go to Menu > Settings.
- Select Create Recovery Code, and do one of the following:
- If you have fingerprint recognition in use, use your fingerprint to confirm that you want to create a recovery code.
- Enter your master password and select Confirm to create a recovery code.
The recovery code image is automatically created.
-
- Select Save as image.
The code is saved to the default location on your device. This is usually the Photos or Gallery folder.
- Go to the folder, select the image, and send it to a service where you can print it out from.
Note: We recommend that you save the code as an image and print the file out for safekeeping, rather than store it in a cloud storage service.
