Introduction: Securely Share Your MT5 Trading Performance Anytime, Anywhere
The MT5 "Investor Password," often called a "read-only password," allows others to log into your account to view it but without the ability to perform any trading operations (like opening or closing orders).In the past, setting the Investor Password usually required the PC version, but now the MT5 iOS App supports setting it directly on an iPhone or iPad. This makes it extremely convenient to instantly generate a secure investor password when you need to show your trading performance to others.
This tutorial will guide you through six detailed steps to set up your MT5 Investor Password on your iPhone.

- Confirm: Re-enter the new "Investor Password" to confirm.
Important Notes
Use the Master Password: Note that whether setting or modifying the investor password, you must always enter your "master password" in the "Current" field to verify permissions.Information to Share: After setup, the information you need to provide to others is: your trading account number, the server name, and the "Investor Password" you just set.
Forgot Password: If you forget the Investor Password, simply follow the same steps and use your "master password" to set a new one.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: If I forget my 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 provide a reset function. You must contact your broker directly and use their official website's backend portal to reset the password.Q2: Will changing the Investor Password affect my master password?
A2: No. The master password and the Investor Password are independent. Changing the Investor Password will not have any effect on the master password you are using.Q3: Why is there no response or an error after I tap "Change"?
A3: The most common reasons are that the "Current" (i.e., your master password) was entered incorrectly, or 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.
