    Hi @ronen - that option enables standalone vaults ("Primary", plus any other standalone vaults you might create) on your Mac. If you have a 1Password account, it's not required, not needed and frankly not recommended, because it substantially complicates your setup and increases the chances for confusion or even data loss or duplication. Just...don't do that, unless you have a really compelling reason to need to do so. My guess is that if you're not even entirely sure what it is or why you'd want it, you probably have no such need.
