How to Reset your 5 word password
The 5 word password is the password to your API key vault.
It is needed to activate each new device and session for trading.
If you lose your 5 word password, you can retrieve it on the desktop app (see image below).
If you haven't activated the desktop app, and can't locate your 5 word password, then it will need to be reset, to get a new set of five words.
For the security of your account, when the 5 word password is reset, all API keys for live accounts must be replaced.
