warning

If you reset the master password, all your passwords currently stored in the password database will be lost.

Specify your new master password.

You can set the password empty. As a result, PhpStorm won't ask you for the password when accessing the password database. However, the security of your passwords in that case will be lower.

To come back to the previous dialog, click Enter or Change.
