Recover based on a local copy of your password database, where the master key is saved on your personal device. 2. Recover an older version of your password database that used a previous master password. | |

From when I last used it, if you forgot your master password, you had the option to load in the accounts that were saved in the browser extension. If you didn't have it loaded on any computers, then it was truly lost. | |
