in 1Password 4 for Windows

I was first exposed to 1Password as mac user
I had/have my own vault + a shared one, I could then unlock either vault with a single password and switch freely between them.

In windows everytime I want to switch from my personal to a shared I have to enter a password. Is there a setting or something I am missing in the windows to keep this type of functionality ... unlock once and switch between them?

thanks :)

    Suppose you have 2 vaults: vault A and vault B.

    On Windows, you can freely switch between vault A and vault B, but you'll need to unlock vault A with master password A and vault B with master password B.

    You cannot unlock vault B with master password A. Sorry.

    Its a shame there is a difference in usability between the platforms, by design? or oversight?

    Design. It would be a huge thing to overlook. :)

    Note that 1Password for Mac and 1Password for Windows will eventually handle multiple vaults in a much more similar (perhaps even identical) manner, which may not look quite like the current version on either platform.

    Thanks for the feedback.
