How to change primary vault password for iCloud

Robert Ramp

Hello,
When I started using 1password last year I set my Master Password to a very long sentence. Since then I have shortened the master password a bit. Whenever I install 1password on a new iOS device I choose to sync with iCloud, but the password I have to enter is not my shortened new master password, but my long annoying old one. How can I change my iCloud primary vault password?

Thanks

Ben

Hi @Robert Ramp‌

Is the Master Password that you then subsequently use to unlock those iOS devices the newer (shorter) one? In this case you may need to backup your data, erase the 1Password data in iCloud, then re-sync 1Password there.

• Backup your data: https://guides.agilebits.com/1password-ios/5/en/topic/itunes-backups [this step is very important]
• Erase data in iCloud from 1Password > Settings > Advanced > Erase iCloud Data
• Use the Settings > Sync menu in 1Password to re-enable syncing

You may need to disable and re-enable iCloud syncing on each device.

Thanks!
