I don't see any difference between the two choices, btw. This would be even possible today if I allowed the change dialog to accept empty new master password. Although doable, I'd say feature creep and file a bug and target it to Future. Note that Firefox and Thunderbird password managers don't have this feature either. > + Forgot master password (erases all account passwords - start from scratch) > > In the last case, do you also unpublish shares and whatnot?

Note that if you forget master password all your network requests that require account passwords will fail. You must reset/erase all passwords, then re-enter account passwords. -- Heikki Toivonen
