Change a known PIN
- Open Settings → Security → Change PIN.
- Enter your current PIN.
- Enter and confirm the new four-digit PIN.
- Select Change PIN and store the new recovery code.
Changing the PIN locks secrets and replaces the previous recovery code. Use the new PIN the next time you unlock a project’s Secrets section.
Recover a forgotten PIN
Choose Forgot PIN? from the unlock flow. Orbit shows the methods available on your device, such as Use Touch ID or Use recovery code.
Enter and confirm a new PIN in the recovery form. If you chose Touch ID, select Verify with Touch ID and complete the system verification. If you chose a recovery code, enter the saved code and select Reset PIN.
Store the replacement recovery code shown after recovery, then unlock Secrets with your new PIN. Your saved secrets are kept.
A recovery code is not the same as a Pro licence key. Store it where you can find it even if you cannot unlock Orbit’s secrets.
When no recovery method is available
If you still remember the PIN but have no recovery code, change your PIN in Security settings to generate one. If you cannot use a recovery method and no longer know the PIN, the remaining reset option deletes saved vault values.
Reset all project secrets
Reset secrets is a last resort. It permanently deletes saved secrets from every project, then lets you choose a new PIN. You must type DELETE ALL SECRETS to confirm.
Projects, documents, tasks, and provider connection credentials are unaffected by this reset. The removed secret values cannot be recovered from a normal workspace ZIP, because those archives exclude the vault. Before resetting, check whether you have the credentials in their original services or a separately saved .env export.
