Changing your encryption key passphrase

Changing your encryption key passphrase

You can easily change your FortiDLP Decryption Tool Extension passphrase, as detailed below.

If you have forgotten your passphrase and therefore cannot unlock the FortiDLP Decryption Tool Extension, to regain access, you will need to remove and re-install the extension, and then follow the steps in Setting encryption keys to create and configure a new encryption key.

Note

FortiDLP Decryption CLI Tool passphrase resets are not supported.
