Hello,

My sister lost her password to the store. She has the emergency kit but has lost the password since she did not write it down.

Is there any possibility to restore the account and start fresh?

Hi there @dutterman

If your sister is part of a 1Password Families account, her access can be recovered by a Family Organizer:

Recover accounts for family or team members

Bear in mind, this won't work if she is the only Family Organizer for the account. Family Organizers can't recover themselves, but can recover each other – which is a good reason to make sure you have more than one!

If she's created a recovery code at any point, she can try using that:

Generate and use recovery codes

If she's using 1Password individually, without being part of a family or team, and doesn't have a recovery code, she'll need to start over if she really can't remember her account password. She should email support@1password.com to get some help if that's the case.

There are also some tips and tricks here which may help before reaching that point: If you forgot your 1Password account password or you can't unlock the app.

Hope that helps! :)
