I purchased the 1Password app for my iPhone when I lived in Australia through the Australian iTunes store. Now I live in the US and I would like to purchase the 1Password desktop license through the US app store. Am I going to experience any problems with this?

    Hi @7roy,

    1Password for Mac is sold separately from 1Password for iOS, regardless of which country/region setting you used to purchase the iOS version. You shouldn't have any problems purchasing 1Password for Mac from the Mac App Store.

    The only problem I can think of would be if you needed to reinstall 1Password for iOS, because your previous purchases from the Australian App Store would not show up in the US App Store, even if you're using the same Apple ID (you may want to double-check with Apple on that, in case they have a way to transfer your purchases). However, 1Password 5 for iOS is a free download, and offers free basic features, so this may or may not be a concern for you.

    Again, this has nothing to do with the Mac version of 1Password on the Mac App Store. Once you purchase that, you'll be able to sync the existing data that is stored in 1Password on your iPhone.

    I hope that helps to answer your question, but please let us know if you need anything else.

    You should be able to change from US App Store to Australian App Store temporarily, but I have never tried this.

    I've never been in this position but I believe the only issue you should possibly experience later @7roy is the one described by @Drew_AG.

    I don't know how friendly Apple are to changing your location a lot @danco. I wouldn't say it's massively common but I have seen threads on Apple's forums regarding what @Drew_AG talked about - I don't know if a satisfactory resolution was found or not.
