Like several other apps, Rabby Wallet uses passwords to protect user accounts. Your Rabby password is the first line of defense against unauthorized access to your wallet on a device. Since the password is a crucial wallet feature, you should regularly update it to ensure maximum security. If you feel your password is too weak, has been compromised, or you simply want to improve your security, changing your password is a good choice. Read this article to find out how to change Rabby wallet password easily, anytime you want to.

 

Can You Change Your Rabby Wallet Password?

Yes, you can change your Rabby wallet password at any time without affecting your assets or wallet data. Changing the Rabby wallet password is straightforward, but not in the usual way most wallets allow. This is because there is no in-app option to change your password directly. Instead, the only way to edit the Rabby wallet password is to reset the wallet, or remove it from your device, then reinstall it to set a new password.

Additionally, your account’s password is not the same as its private key or secret recovery phrase (SRP). These are not editable and provides full access to your account on multiple devices, which is also crucial for account recovery. If you forget your password, but remember your seed phrase or private key, you can recover your account and change the password. However, if both are lost, account recovery is not possible.
