How do I switch between vaults in the Authenticator App?
Already have a vault open and want to switch to another one? If you’ve enabled Sync & Backup on your Authenticator App, switching vaults is quick and secure.
❗ Before you begin: Make sure Sync & Backup is enabled and that your current vault is fully synced to iCloud. This ensures all your latest changes are safely backed up before switching.
Steps to switch vaults:
Open the Authenticator App.
Go to Settings > Advanced and tap Start Over.
Select Restore from backup when prompted and choose the Vault you want to restore.
Enter the password for that vault.
Enable Sync & Backup to restore your saved accounts and keep them up to date.
ℹ️ You have unlimited attempts to enter the password. Make sure there are no typos; passwords are case-sensitive.
🔐 Note on security: For your protection, the app asks for your password first, even if you usually use Face ID or Touch ID. This helps confirm you’re the rightful owner of your data.
