Hey everyone,

I'm a new Admin and haven't had much experience with 1Pass in the administrative sense, and didn't get a very detailed breakdown from the previous Admin for my organization.

We have a small IT team (some DevOps and me for IT) and we all have a 1Pass client on our stations. Recently, we've noticed some team members are not seeing changes made by others, and upon examination we noticed that some are working on a local vault and some are working on a DropBox vault.

I verified this by clicking File>Open 1Password Vault on the clients.

My question:

I need to make sure the whole IT team is working on the same Vault.

If I direct the local clients to the DropBox vault, will there be data loss or automatic overwrite of passwords?

1Password Version: 4.6.2.626

OS Version: Windows 10

    Hello @MagnoliaIT,

    I'm Scott on the 1Password Customer Experience team. It's nice to meet you.

    It sounds like your team is using an older version of 1Password. 1Password 7 is past its end of life and is only receiving critical security updates, and your team should upgrade to 1Password 8 as soon as possible for continued updates and support. In the mean time, I'd advise emailing support@1password.com to discuss this with our support team. There is a lot of nuance to working with standalone or local vaults, and it's often best to move that data into a 1Password account. We can help plan the migration in a way that prevents data loss and keeps everything accessible to those who should have access.

    Thank you,

    Oh we're not using 1password 7 - that would've been a better situation.

    We're using 1password 4.

    I actually managed to solve the damn thing and get the users to sync via the Dropbox - but now I have three of every login :(

    I'll try and reach out to the support team, maybe they'll have salvation for me.

    After you send an email to our support team please post the Support ID here, it should look like this: [#ABC-12345-678].

    Post that here, and I'll be able to locate your message and make sure it's gotten to the right place. 🙂
