I have two accounts representing old and new emails and names. Password ONLY appears on my "comcast" email account - not my gmail (current) one. What can I do? I can't find it on my Mac and see no settings to change it?

    Can I just clarify a couple of things @smb12321‌

    Are you referring to possessing two separate user accounts on your Mac? If you are that would explain why you're unable to access the vault stored in one account whilst logged in on the other.

    The easiest way for you as the user to see your vault in two separate accounts is to use a sync service such as Dropbox or iCloud to act as a common storage point between the two accounts. I've been playing about with /Users/Shared/ recently but there are very distinct issues with permissions and the solutions are not friendly.

    May I ask though. If I'm correct with my assumption regarding the two user accounts, did you do this just to have two email accounts? I only ask as all email clients that I'm aware of allow you to connect to multiple email accounts. I'm positive Mail does and I have 6 added to my copy of Thunderbird. You may have other reasons of course, but depending on your requirements you may be able to keep everything contained in a single account.

    If I haven't understood your issue please do reply back here and we'll continue to try and assist.
