I keep resetting my Master password, but I cannot get access

I am having issues logging back into TrueKey. I reset my password, but it still won't allow access.

Re: I keep resetting my Master password, but I cannot get access

Hi there,

A few questions so I can better understand the issue you are experiencing:

- Which system/ device are you using to to try to reset the master password on? and do you have another device/system running True Key?

- Please provide versions of your system/device operating system as well as the True Key version.

- Finally can you provide a screenshot of the error message when you try to unsuccessfully log in to your True Key account?

Thanks,

Marc D.

Re: I keep resetting my Master password, but I cannot get access

Everything has been working great or many months up until last week sometime.
 
- Which system/ device are you using to to try to reset the master password on? and do you have another device/system running True Key?
I have a desktop and Laptop that I run it on with Chrome (Version 76.0.3809.132), as well as on my Android phone
 
- Please provide versions of your system/device operating system as well as the True Key version.
True Key version - 4.0.0.9243, Chrome (Version 76.0.3809.132), Windows 10 Home version 1809
 
- Finally can you provide a screenshot of the error message when you try to unsuccessfully log in to your True Key account?

Hi there,

So the screenshot you provided shows an incorrect master password, so after the password is reseated still shows this error? and if you reset the MP again same error that comes up?

Thanks,

Marc D.

Yes, I have reset it at least 3 times and get the same response each time.

Ok and every time you did a master password reset you have tried it on all your devices including your Android device and you get the same result?

Thanks,

No the Android device has not had a problem at any time throughout this - I do use my fingerprint to access that one.

I understand, so you have changed the master password from your PC and laptop a few times but it gives you the incorrect password error.

Just to rule out the obvious as I have seen it before, just ensure there are no typos or incorrect symbols being added when you reset the master password, just make sure that it is not the keyboard the culprit here.

Thanks,

Yes I copy and pasted it, but I just tried to reset again and now it is saying:

Use a trusted device.
You can only reset your Master Password from a device you’ve set as trusted.

On both systems (laptop & PC) it says that?If both systems have become untrusted, your Android device still is, without changing the security factor used there (fingerprint), you could try changing the MP from your device.

Also, when you check the True Key security settings, you should be using either a second device or email to trust a new device on your account.
