Syncing desktop with iPhone causing iPhone data to overwrite changes made on desktop.

iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1 using 1Password iOS v4.3.2 overwriting changes made on 1Password4 v4.2.2 on MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.2

Basically, changed all passwords in 1Password4 on Macbook Pro, due to recent "heartbleed issue", successfully synced to iPhone. Come back later to log into random site. Find out that recent iPhone sync overwrites changes, causing "Conflict" losing all recent password changes.

How does one make it so that changes made on 1Password OSX will always be ground zero

    While I can't explain what went wrong it may help if I mention this. I currently use folder sync + iTunes to get data to my phone. It's not actually "synchronisation" with the phone but the Mac will keep the keychain synchronised in a folder on the Mac and, at any point in time, you can transfer that keychain via iTunes to the phone. That, of course, should guarantee that the Mac data prevails over any changes on the phone. (I currently make all changes on my Mac in any event.)

    Hi @sojourner‌

    I'm so sorry to hear you've been having trouble getting things synced up here. Thanks so much for including all your version information - that helps a lot! You don't mention, however, what you are using to sync your data. Could you let us know that please? This will help us track down the issue.
