Can I turn syncing off?

annieD

Hello, please forgive me if this has been answered; I checked several pages and searched for a couple terms but didn't find the answer.

I've been researching different password programs for a friend and think I have it narrowed down to 1Password but she had one more question; is it possible to turn off any syncing so all of her passwords stay only on her computer and don't go out to any clouds or anywhere over the internet? She works on a laptop that hardly never leaves her office and doesn't want to be able to access any passwords from an iphone or ipad. So she really just wants her passwords to remain completely resident on her computer. Is this possible with 1Password?

Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Yes. Just just store your vault in your Dropbox (our any other Cloud) folder and it won't go anywhere.

Actually, @annieD‌, if you don't want your 1Password data to go anywhere besides your single laptop computer, then don't store it in your local Dropbox hierarchy or anywhere else on your computer that's automatically copied to other computers and devices.

Just accept the default location, and you'll be fine. You can always move it into Dropbox later, if you change your mind.

Indeed. don't is such a small word but so very important when missing!

Thanks so much for your replies. This sounds like the program we were looking for. We'll give it a try!

Thanks again!
