Primary Vault Always Unlocks Secondary?

Hello, I had a quick question about the multiple vaults feature in 1Password. It seems that when I unlock my Primary Vault, all of the other vaults are accessible as well. Is this how it is supposed to work? Because they have different passwords I would expect them to require login as well but they do not.

  • Hi @Retro,

    Yes, that's intentional. The primary vaults stores the keys for all of the secondary vaults. If you open 1Password app, switch to the secondary vault, then you'll need to unlock it with its password. If you switch to a different secondary vault, you'll also have to unlock with its password. If you then switch to the primary vault and unlock it, it'll then let you access all vaults without unlocking them.
