Reconciling & merging Vaults

howardm19

I'm using 1Password version 6 on my Mac laptop.

I'm not sure how this happened, but I have the Vaults -- I cannot recall how I managed to have more than one. I don't understand the difference between Primary and Personal -- shown in the attached screenshot.

When I updated my Firefox browser, all my extensions, etc., were removed (I don't know why). When I restored the extensions, including the 1Password extension, it didn't accept my usual "default" 1Password password. I had to use the password for my Personal vault.

Anyway, how do I "merge/simplify" all these Vaults without losing any saved data I have in 1Password ?

Thanks a lot!

Howard

Primary = non membership aka syncing via a 3rd party like iCloud or Dropbox.

Personal = a 1Password.com membership. Syncing via 1Password.com.

My suggestion would be to move all of the data (not already present) into the Personal vault and remove the Primary. That way all of your data will be available and backed up using 1Password.com.

Move and copy items

Thanks.

I have 1) moved all my needed items to Personal using 1Password app on my laptop and 2) verified that they are all there in my Personal vault at 1password.com

What is the best way to now delete the Primary vault ?

In the 1Password 6 menu from the menu bar select switch to Primary. Then you should see delete Primary vault available just below the switch menu option. Please be sure you've got everything moved over to the Personal vault. I know you mentioned that. I just want to be careful. Measure twice and cut once sort of thing. :)

You will likely be prompted for your password. This is the password you use to access the Primary vault. It should not be the password you use to access 1Password.com. Be sure you know that password for 1Password.com.
