If, for security reasons, you need to change your keys, you will be able to regenerate your keys using the Edit Store option. We recommend that you always use the same pass phrase. If you need to change your pass phrase, always retain previous pass phrases so that you will be able to decrypt any orders placed before the key was changed.
