1Password limits?

wkleem

What can 1Password do with regards to loading a secondary keychain? I may what to try .opvault but I am using .agilekeychain now. Can I use .opvault while syncing the .agilekeychain or the reverse?

@wkleem: Indeed! You can't create a new vault on iOS, but if you have an existing vault you are syncing (via Dropbox, for instance) you can add it as a secondary vault in 1Password for iOS. I actually use this exact setup, since I have a duplicate test keychain in .opvault format.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

wkleem

Thanks! I will try that but does .opvault sync to Dropbox? 1Password used to sync concurrently but that stopped with 1Password 5.

I also would like to know if we can have an .opvault synced with Dropbox.

Ben

Yes, opvault can sync with Dropbox. That is how I have my vaults setup. :)

Soooo what's opvault?

Hi @prime,

Opvault is our new data storage format that will likely eventually replace Agile Keychain. It was originally referred to as "Cloud Keychain," prior to the release of iCloud Keychain, but we've depreciated that term to avoid confusion with the latter.

Some platforms (namely Windows) have been using it for a while, but because it isn't fully supported on all platforms yet we haven't made it the default.

Thanks!

Thanks @bwoodruff for the info!

Ben

You're very welcome. :)

@prime: You can read in more detail about the specifics of OPVault in our knowledgebase too if you like. Cheers! :)

There are limitations to the 4" screen size that I get annoyed about. The virtual keyboard in landscape mode obscures 70 - 75% of the screen so I'm practically typing blind.

@wkleem: Agreed. While I mostly prefer the form factor of my old iPhone 3G, the lack of screen real estate due to the onscreen keyboard is the one reason you won't see me signing any petitions for Apple to go back to making screens that small! :lol:
