The master password is very important as it gives you access to the app and keeps your password data safe.  Once you’ve installed MTA Shield and you start the application for the first time, the app asks you to create a master password.  Choose a hard-to-guess master password (or passphrase) that you can remember, as the app or MTA Shield cannot reset your master password. The fact that the app cannot reset the master password has been a conscious decision by MTA Shield to increase your security and privacy and protect your data.

The master password recovery code is a unique and personal code that is the only way of regaining access to the app, should you forget your master password.  MTA Shield cannot restore any master passwords, as this would mean accessing your master password, which could be a security risk.

MTA Shield ranks the data breaches according to severity based on:

1. How much of your data has been leaked.
2. How potentially harmful the leak is.
3. Is the leaked data in an easily readable format or encrypted.

There are three severity Levels:

1. High-Severity: Breaches of high severity can involve, for example your password or your credit card details in a readable format.
2. Mid-Severity: Breaches of mid severity can involve your social security number, your password in a scrambled format or many pieces of low severity personal information breached at the same time.
3. Low-Severity: Breaches of low severity involve one of the following pieces of personal information:  username, full name, date of birth, phone number, or address.
