Is there a way to recover or change my primary password without losing all of my saved addresses and passwords?

dolleric

Having forgotten the last few figures of my primary password, I am stunned to find that you offer no way to reclaim or rest it without losing all of my saved sites and passwords.

dolleric, if you could remove the primary password and access the protected logins then anyone else could do this as well. Rendering the using of such a password a bit pointless.

However, if it is only the last few characters that you have forgotten then a brute force approach might be feasible.
