Upgrade path from 1Password4 to 1Password5

pierresenechal

Hello,

I didn't upgrade my iPhone5 to iOS8 before switching to iPhone6. This one comes with iOS8 and I upgraded to iCloud Drive during the initial setup.

So, where's my 1Password data now?!

I see it's still in iCloud under Preferences > iCloud > Storage > Manage storage. There's a few hundred kb of 1Password's data there.

However, neither 1Password4 or 1Password5 seems to be able to access it. I suppose it's because 1Password4 is not compatible with iCloud Drive and 1Password5 is not compatible with 1Password4's data.

I've read the upgrading guidelines, but it's kind of too late now. Maybe I am to blame, but I'd be curious of how many people actually read this before running into this issue.

Is there a way I could restore my 1Password4 data?

Thanks,

I will be answering my own question here. :| Here's how I solved this issue.

This requires a backup of your old phone. I always have one, altought I never use it and prefer starting fresh.

• Check if you have previously downloaded 1Password4 into iTunes
• If not, drag and drop 1Password4 into the Apps tab (from a backup, for instance)
• If you have 1Password5, remove it and replace it with 1Password4
• Restore a backup of you old phone to your new phone
• Go through the initial setup again (I didn't sign to iCloud just in case, but I'm not sure it would change anything here)
• Wait for 1Password4 to install
• You should now have 1Password4 along with your data
• Sync your data with either DropBox or iTunes and update 1Password
