When you create a new Status profile, you set a password to protect your profile and Wallet accounts. You can change this password at any time.

caution
Status doesn't know your password and cannot reset it for you. If you forget your password, you may lose access to your Status profile. Check out If you lose your Status password or recovery phrase for more information.

  • To set a new password, you must know the current password.
  • The password is profile-specific. It only works for the current profile if you have multiple profiles on your device.
  • The password is device-specific. It only works for your current device. If you have logged in to your profile on multiple devices, the password for other devices remains unchanged.
  • If you set up syncing for your profile, your password is not synced across devices. For more information, check out About changing your Status password.
