It is strongly recommended to change your password immediately in the following situations:

- New: Enter the new "master password" you wish to set.
- Confirm: Re-enter the new "master password" to confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: If I forget my old master password, can I reset it on the app?
A1: No. If you have completely forgotten your master password, the MT5 app itself does not offer a "Forgot Password" function. You must contact your Broker immediately and use their official website's backend portal to reset the password.Q2: Will changing the master password affect my investor password (read-only password)?
A2: No. The master password and the investor password are independent. Changing the master password will not affect any investor password you previously set.Q3: Why is there no response or an error after I tap "Change"?
A3: There are two common reasons: 1. The "Current" (old master password) was entered incorrectly. 2. The entries in the "New" and "Confirm" fields do not match. Please check carefully and try again.If you found this article helpful, feel free to share it with your friends.
