ESET Password Manager FAQs

3. Which internet browsers are supported—Is Microsoft Edge supported?

Microsoft Edge based on Chromium is supported. Click here to see the complete list of all major browsers that ESET Password Manager does support allowing you to easily import your credentials and identities from popular browsers or other password managers.

4. Will the ESET Password Manager stored passwords still work if my ESET Smart Security Premium license expires?

Yes. However, your existing password store will become read-only and only existing passwords will be available. Any new passwords you create will not be synced to the cloud or other devices.

5. How do I change my master password?

   If you know your current Master Password and want to change it, open ESET Password Manager from a browser extension, click the menu icon, then click Settings → My Account → Change Master Password. When you change your Master Password, Password Manager will generate and securely store a new Recovery Key.

6. What if I forget my Master Password?

   You can use the Recovery Key provided during registration to reset your Master Password. When you change your Master Password, Password Manager will generate a new Recovery Key.

   If you forget or lose your Recovery Key or Master Password, ESET cannot resend them to you. If you do not remember your Master Password and you do not have your Recovery Key you can remove the existing Password Store and create a new one. We recommend that you periodically export and save a backup of your password store. Due to the sensitivity of the password data, you should only save the exported data to a secure, encrypted, and password-protected location, such as a USB drive protected by ESET Secure Data, or other secure location. You can import your password store backup, using an exported file.
7. How do I enable the Password Manager extension on an additional web browser?
