Desktop app not syncing to cloud or other platforms

I'm using 1Password for Windows (version 8.9.5) and changes I make in the desktop app, in any repository, are not syncing to the cloud.

I've tried moving items between repositories, archiving-then-unarchiving them, and creating new items - nothing seems to trigger a refresh/sync. The main problem is that I'm not sure how long it's been going on (days? weeks?) or how many items are affected (I have LOTS).

Changes made on other devices (browser, iPhone, Mac, etc.) all sync as expected.

Any ideas?


1Password Version: 8.9.5
Extension Version: 2.3.8
OS Version: Windows 10 20H2
Browser:_ Chrome

    Hello @swaas,

    Thanks for getting back to us with these details. Since these details seem to point to issues with 1Password for iOS syncing those items created there, out to 1Password.com, I'd like to ask for some more details so we can pass this along to the team for investigation. Could you create a diagnostics report from your iOS device:

    1. No it is missing items I added on my phone.
    2. I do not see any vaults named Primary
    3. Item created on phone does not appear on 1password.com but item created on 1password.com DOES appear on phone

    Thanks, and look forward to suggestions

    Hey @swaas, thanks for reaching out. We'll be happy to investigate this issue further for you:

    1. When you sign in to your account on 1Password.com, do you see a complete and up-to-date set of your data there?
    2. Do you have any standalone vaults? If you're not sure about this, check if you have a vault named Primary on any of your devices.
    3. To help us work out where the issue lies, could you try creating a new item on each device and let me know if either or both of the items appear on 1Password.com?

    This will confirm whether the cause of the issue is your desktop or iPhone, at which point we can proceed with some additional troubleshooting steps. Looking forward to your reply!

    When I create a new item on my iphone, it does not appear when I log into my account on my desktop. (If I do the opposite it works fine). So at present I have several recently added items that I can only get on my phone. Would appreciate suggestions..

    To close this out - disabling the MFA was the key. It didn't work immediately - I ended up rebooting, but I'm not sure if it was cookies or timing that solved it. Either way, the desktop app sync'd back to the service and I re-enabled MFA, added new items, and verified the sync was working.

    Thanks for your help!
