Changing the current password or resetting the forgotten Suiet Wallet password is always possible and it is made at the discretion of users only. Before changing or resetting the Suiet Wallet, make sure that you have taken a backup of your secret recovery phrase or the private key.
If you have lost your recovery phrase, you cannot change or reset your wallet password. In that case, you can only import your wallet account into another wallet using your “Private Key”. If you have lost both the recovery phrase and private key, that is the end of the story.
In this article, I have detailed the process of how I changed and reset my Suiet Wallet password in under 1 minute.
There are two scenarios discussed:
Steps to Change Suiet Wallet Password
1. Unlock Suiet Wallet Extension
Open the Suiet Wallet extension on your device.
Enter your current password to open the wallet extension.
2. Go to “Settings”
After opening the Suiet Wallet extension, you will land on the “Home” page by default.
Navigate to the “Settings” section to change the password.
3. Click “Security”
On the “Settings” page, you will be able to see multiple options, such as “Wallet”, “Network”, “Security”, “Lock”, and “Reset All”.
You need to navigate to “Security” and click on it.
4. Change the Password
After clicking “Security”, you will get to see “Update Password” under Password. Click on it.
Now, you need to enter your current wallet password to set a new password. Then, set a new password with a strong combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.
Lastly, click “Next Step”.
That’s it. This is how you can change the Suiet Wallet password quickly.

3. Click “Import Wallet”
After clicking “Reset Suiet”, you will be able to see two options: “Create New” and “Import Wallet”.
Since you are resetting the password, you must click “Import Wallet”.

Suiet Wallet allows you to restore the password via the secret recovery phrase.
Now, you need to enter your Suiet Wallet recovery phrase separated by space. Then, click “Confirm and Import”.
If you have entered the recovery phrase wrongly, you will not be able to continue further.
Without the recovery phrase, you cannot change or reset your wallet password.

Conclusion
The Suiet Wallet password will only protect your Suiet account on your current device. The recovery phrase of your wallet account is superior and holds full control over your account.
Changing the current password is easy and can be done by reaching the “Settings” option.
On the other hand, if you forget your password, you need to enter your recovery phrase to set a new password.
It is impossible to reset your password without the secret recovery phrase.
Ensure you have taken a backup of your recovery phrase. If not, you can do so by going to “Settings” and clicking “Security”.
Always follow the best practices to store the Suiet Wallet recovery phrase.
