Change Master Password Dialog

File | Settings | Passwords - Master Password for Windows and Linux
JetBrains DataSpell | Preferences | Passwords - Change Master Password for macOS
Ctrl+Alt+S
the Settings/Preferences icon

If your master password is already set, you can open this dialog by clicking Master Password on the Passwords page.

Specify your current master password, and then a new master password. ( The master password is used to access the JetBrains DataSpell password database where - if so specified - your passwords are stored.)

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

If you don't remember the current password, you can reset the master password (click Reset ).

ItemDescription
PasswordSpecify the current master password.
New passwordSpecify your new master password.
Confirm passwordType the new master password once more.
Encrypt with OS user credentialsFor Windows only: if you select this checkbox, the master password itself will be stored encrypted in the password database. (Your Windows logon credentials will be used for encryption.)

As a result, JetBrains DataSpell won't ask you for the master password when accessing the password database.

ResetIf you don't remember the current master password, click this button to reset it. (The Reset Master Password dialog will open.)
