Hey @tombosmans! Do you know if you have a 1Password.com account? 1Password X will require a subscription (account), so if you have local vaults stored on your machine, they won't be recognized by 1Password X. I can't tell if that's exactly what's happening with the little info I have, but I figured I'd ask just to double check. Let me know! :)

I too have the same problem with passwords added or changed in the mobile app or desktop app on a different machine do not seem to sync to 1Password X for Chrome. And worse, there is no manual sync/update button I can find. I am using 1p X with my existing 1password.com account.

In my case, it may be more complex than the OP. On the device in question w/ 1pX, I'm using a separate user (we'll call it B) who has access to a shared vault. On the iPhone, user A has multiple vaults including a primary vault and a secondary vault which is shared with user B (using 1password teams).

sorry, not B), rather "B )". It got auto corrected into an emoji haha.

Hi @jb820 – I see! Thanks for clarifying that. I'm curious if you're able to see the shared vault when you sign into account B (or :sunglasses:) at https://my.1password.com (or your specific sign-in domain, if you have one). Let me know!

The shared vault is there when I go to my.1password.com and interestingly it looks like once I did that, the new item(s) showed up there and then subsequently inside the 1password X extension. So it seems like there is some trouble with 1Password X not showing new items until I've opened up the my.1password.com site and see them there first.

Not sure if this is still active, but this is similar to another question I asked (see below):
"I have 4 people (Bob, Joe, Steve, Mike) using 1 passwordX. Each person has his own vault, except my wife and me. We have access to all the passwords, while the others have access only to the passwords assigned to their vault. I distributed the password between the vaults by using copy. The password changes are not syncing between vaults and people.
For example, we all have access to netflix. Let's say Bob changes the password and updates his 1passwordx vault. The password for him will change, but not for the other users and vaults. How do I make it so the passwords sync? When Bob changes his password for Netflix, it should change for everyone."

@ishootfriendlies: Copies are just copies. For example, if you make a photocopy of a tax document, and then fill it out, the original doesn't have any of those changes. You've got completely separate, independent copies of the same thing, in different places. With 1Password vaults, each is encrypted separately. That's what makes it possible to securely share with Bob without him getting access to all of Joe's data: each has separate encryption keys for the vault(s) they have access to, to encrypt data they put into it and decrypt data they want to view there. In order to have a "password" update for everyone, it would need to be in a vault which everyone has access to, and modified there. Other copies elsewhere will be unaffected. The Netflix example is a good one, because it's a common example we use to illustrate the purpose of the default Shared vault in 1Password Families: it's for stuff everyone needs access to, like garage door codes, house alarm password, etc:

I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

One more question, brenty. I have created several vaults and assigned people to the vaults they need. that seems to have corrected the error. The only problem left is I cannot see the passwords in that one vault. I looked at the vault and I am listed on it vault with full access, but cannot get to the passwords in that vault unless I go online. Any idea about this? I have already removed myself and readded myself from the vault. Any help is appreciated.
---Nevermind, I found the problem. It was in the settings of the chrome extension. In their, that vault was off.
