Master Password
With a subscription one has a password and key for it. I see in preferences/accounts how to chg the subscription password. However, how does one change the Master Password?

My account password is different than the Master Password I have used for years. I use a different password with my.1password.com account than I do to unlock 1PW on the devices.

Hey @MikeV99:
Thanks for clarifying. The 1Password apps unlock slightly differently depending on what vaults you may have:
- If a Primary vault exists, then it unlocks using the Master Password for that vault, regardless of what, if any, memberships are signed in
- If a single 1Password membership is signed in, then it unlocks using the Master Password for that membership account
- If multiple memberships are signed in, then it unlocks using the Master Password of the first added membership
If you have a Primary vault, and have successfully migrated all your items to your 1Password account, then removing your Primary vault will allow you to unlock the 1Password apps with your account password. Let me know how you get on with that!

Keeping the primary vault allows me to maintain a local copy backup. I see no reason to remove it.

I changed it on one device but it does not change on the other devices.

Hmm. That doesn't seem right. You may need to disable and re-enable syncing on each device, can you give that a shot and see if that fixes things?

Eight devices ... uhm ...

I think that the way a new password propagates across all devices requires one to use the old password at least once before the new one works. Have you tried that?

Don't remember but will give it a whirl.

Primary vault password does not sync across devices. I am also surprised that the subscription uses the primary vault master password rather than the subscription password.

The way 1Password unlocks is:
If a Primary vault exists, then it unlocks using the Password for that vault, regardless of what, if any, memberships are signed in.
If a single 1Password membership is signed in, then it unlocks using the Password for that membership account
If multiple memberships are signed in, then it unlocks using the Password of the first added membership
These are each exclusive scenarios. For example, if multiple memberships are signed in, you cannot unlock 1Password using the Password of the second account that was added.
