How to add a 2nd vault with WiFi Sync

Hi,

I have used 1Password with only 1 vault for years. It is synced via dropbox to 2 Macs, 1 Window PC, 4 iOS devices and 1 Android device. Everything is fine so far.

Now I have the requirement from my company to split the vaults in a private vault and a business vault. The private vault should stay the way it is, it will be synced via dropbox to many other devices. The new business vault will be used only on the Windows PC and 1 iPhone. It should sync via WiFi only. So I have created a new vault on my 1 Password for Windows and moved the business entries from the private to the business vault.

Now I want to sync this new vault to my iPhone, but I cannot find an option to add a 2nd vault on the iPhone by using WiFi sync. I only see the possibility to add a 2nd vault using dropbox, but that is not what I want.

Any suggestions on this?

kind regards
michael

    @MikeyF - You can only sync the primary vault between 1Password for Windows and 1Password for iOS using WiFi. I suggest you reset your 1Password data on the iPhone, set up the WiFi sync with the primary vault, then add a secondary vault which syncs to Dropbox. So your primary vault on your iPhone will be the business vault and your secondary vault will be your private vault.

    To reset your 1Password data on your iPhone -

    • Run the 1Password app.
    • Go to Settings > Advanced > Erase Data and Settings.

    I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any questions on this.
