Managing Passwords

MetaTrader 5 iPhone allows changing trading account passwords, as well as deleting previously saved ones. If you wish to change a password, tap "Change Password" in the current account management section. The list of available actions will appear:

  • Change Master Password providing full access to the trading account;
  • Change Investor Password providing access to the trading account in "read-only" mode (no trading operations).
  • Clear previously saved password. If "Save password" option is enabled when connecting to the account, the application will save the password, so that you will not have to enter it each time you connect. "Clear Saved Password" deletes such password. Thus, you will have to enter it again when connecting next time.

All performed actions influence the passwords of the current account (the account you are currently connected to).

Changing Master and Investor Passwords #

Master and investor passwords are changed in similar ways. After selecting an appropriate option in the above dialog, you proceed to password change. The following data should be specified here:

  • Current – specify the current master password;
  • New – specify the new password;
  • Confirm – specify the new password once again to prevent errors;
  • Save password – enable to save the password. You will not have to enter saved passwords when connecting to your trading account.

The new password must meet the following requirements:

  • It must be no shorter than the length requirement displayed in the password change dialog.
  • It must contain four character types: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters (#, @, ! etc.). For example, 1Ar#pqkj.
  • It must not match the previous password.

Deleting Saved Passwords #

If "Save password" option is enabled when connecting to the account, the application saves the password, so that you do not have to enter it each time you connect. "Clear Saved Password" deletes such password. Thus, you will have to enter it again during the next connection.
