ChangeEntryPassword Method

Changes the entry's encryption password.

Syntax

int ChangeEntryPassword(const QString& qsEntryName, const QString& qsNewPassword);

Remarks

Use this method to change the entry's encryption password. This method may invoke the EntryKeyNeeded event to request the existing key if the entry was previously encrypted.

Note that all entries, and the vault itself, are encrypted with cryptographic keys, rather than passwords. When you change an entry's encryptionpassword, you are implicitly changing its encryption key, which is derived from the password using a cryptographically secure key derivation function.

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
