Filezilla is asking for a master password

[bfcg91]

I don’t have the master password that it’s asking for, so I am unable to transfer files this way. I want to download some of my website folders. Where can I find the ftp master password?

Thanks

Last week, someone else asked the same question. Maybe this answer helps you too?

WP Backup error

The “master password” is feature from FileZilla to encrypt passwords you saved in the configuration. It’s tied to a particular FileZilla installation, and something you can choose to enter when you run FileZilla for the first time. So to answer your question on where to find that password, that would be in your memory or some other place where you typically store passwords. If you don’t have it anymore, I would assume FileZilla has a button to set a new password and forget all passwords current…
