What do I do if I forgot/lost my password?

Wrong Password Screen

Principle

You can never recover passwords in tiCrypt. However, you can recover private keys through a process called Escrow.

tiCrypt never leaves your keys exposed.
  • Your private key is all-time encrypted on your local machine.
  • To use your private key in tiCrypt authentication, you must use your password to unlock the private key.
  • Your private key is the only password-protected resource in the system.
  • Your private key is never stored on the server.

To recover your private key proceed to do the following.

  • Contact your administrator or team support.
  • Inquire if your administrator can escrow your key.
  • Wait for them to escrow your private key.
  • You will re-log in as usual.
