I am running 1Password on 3 macs, 2 ipads and 3 iphones. I request that I be able to WIFI sync 1Password across these devices. The current instructions state only 1 mac and associated IOS devices. I am currently syncing via iCloud.
I am supposing a wifi sync is the most 'secure'.
Thanks and Regards

1Password Version: 5.3
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: osx 10.10.3
Sync Type: wifi

    Hi @lfeiwel ,

    Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts here! You're right, Wi-Fi sync is currently limited to one Mac and associated iOS devices. If you would like to use a cloud-free solution to keep multiple Macs synced up, you might want to look into Folder Sync. With Folder sync, 1Password will save your data to a folder of your choosing, and you can then use your own third-party service to keep that folder synced between your Macs.

    I will pass your request along to our team though. :)

    One other comment - the documentation for Windows and Mac on WiFi sync generally could be improved. Or, rather, Windows can be improved, the Mac documentation is great.

    Good mac documentation.
    https://support.1password.com/guides/mac/sync-wi-fi.html (easy to read, direct, clear)

    Bad windows documentation.
    https://guides.agilebits.com/1password-windows/4/en/topic/syncing-over-wi-fi (while step by step, doesn't explain it as well as the Mac).

    Nitpicky, I know.

    @strahanmccarten: I agree! The Windows guide there is older, and we've gotten better at this over time (as illustrated in the 1Password 5 for Mac guide). I think the Windows guide is due for a refresh. Thanks for pointing this out! :)
