Merge Vaults

Hello. I've been using 1Password with Dropbox for a while now, and it's great. I changed jobs last year and DropBox wasn't reachable, although I was able to install 1Password. So I took a copy of my vault from Dropbox and have been maintaining two separate vaults ever since.

I would like to update both vaults to contain all updates from either, as they've become rather out of sync, but I don't want to lose anything from one that's not in the other. I've read various posts about merging on a Mac, but as I'm on Windows these instructions don't appear to be relevant to me - at least I'm unable to follow them on the Windows client.

Please note: I'm an application sequencer, so I know my way around the OS - feel free to be as technical in your response as you please.

I'm currently using version 4.1.0.538. Many thanks in advance.

    Nevermind, I figured out I could sync the most recent *.password files in the 1Password.agilekeychain\data folder using Beyond Compare, then merge the changes in the contents.js file manually. All good now, thanks anyway. Happy for this to be closed.

    I'm impressed. That's a delicate job and not for the feint of heart.

  • That's an understatement Richard :)

    @Valiante look out for any kind of conflicts in the database please. Although with your level of knowledge I wouldn't expect any.
    The safer solution would've been to export the data from one of the vaults as a .1pif file and import it into the other one.

    This might've left you with a couple of duplicates to clean up, but after that you could've simply dumped the .1pif and one of the vaults.
