# Recovered password is not working

The password recovery with e-mail is not connected to a certain vault. This pushes security to the highest level. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Whether the password you receive is correct and matches to your current Vault, depends on your own setup. You may also have entered a different e-mail
{% endhint %}

## Example

You activate the password recovery. The password you used at that time is stored encrypted in the password recovery.

If you now change your password, the password will also be changed in the recovery - but only if the recovery is still active and you have not blocked the internet connection for Privary.

Once you change your device or perform a reset to import a backup, the recovery is no longer active, but can be reactivated from the settings.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Mind:** Even we, the creators, don't know your password. Privary is 100% secret and your password is solely private to you
{% endhint %}

## Is there any backdoor i can use?

No. Privary was built to ensure 100% privacy, entirely different from other apps you may know. [Read more](/general/privary-vs-other-apps.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.privary.me/password/password-recovery/recovered-password-is-not-working.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
