    Hi @versus71! Welcome to the forum!

    but with iPhone is not possible no device will be shown to sync.

    Can you please elaborate on this? What do you mean by "no device will be shown to sync"?

    Thank you! Is the WLAN server running on your Mac? You can check this under 1Password Preferences > WLAN Server> Run a WLAN server from this Mac to sync with iOS and Android devices.

    Thank you for the confirmation. At this point, I would recommend trying the troubleshooting instructions that you can find here:

    If you’re having trouble using the WLAN server

    Unfortunately the WLAN server sync is the most technical sync method, and we don't have control over it, which also means that it is more difficult for us to help you when things go wrong :( However, that article includes every suggestion we know helped other customers in the past, so I am hoping they will be useful to you too.

    All point tested already

    Unfortunately that is the extent of technical support that we're able to offer in regard to syncing 1Password using the WLAN server. I would recommend double checking bullet point #1 in the guide:

    If you're using iOS 14 or later on your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app and tap 1Password. Make sure Local Network is turned on.

    Could you please provide us a screenshot of what you see in the Settings app under 1Password? It should look something like this:

    If everything is configured correctly, and you've already tried all of the other steps in the troubleshooting guide, then we've reached the end of the road in terms of the technical support we're able to provide for the WLAN server. We'd be happy to help you get migrated to a sync option that will work better for you.
