I use dropbox to update my iOS devices and want my wife's computer to have her vault merged with mine. When I go into her computer and tell it to use merge the contents of dropbox with her vault it wants a password. I take it, that it wants the dropbox password and it will not accept it. The dropbox on her computer is a shared access from my dropbox account. How to get the two 1password vaults to be the synced as mine as the master?

    Hi @weswait,

    When you choose to merge the vault and are asked for a password, it's actually asking for the master password for the 1Password vault in Dropbox, not your Dropbox account password. If you only use one vault in 1Password on your own devices, it should be the same as the master password you use to unlock your data. I believe the "merge" dialog should also show your hint for that master password.

    Does that help? Let us know how it goes or if you have more questions about that. Thanks!
