It is so easy for a new password to be configured. In the appropriate fields, type in the security key that you want as your password. Then choose “save.”

Make sure you write down or remember this password. WD Security app for Mac does not have a “lost password” option if you forget. The only thing you can do is set a password hint. If that doesn’t help you remember your password, then you’ll have no way to access your data.
