Can I share my iOS app with my Mac?
I have been using 1password on my iOS devices for nearly a year. have a new Macbook, but do not see info on how to get it up and running on that without re-purchasing. I purchased the original iOS app from the Apple app store, in 2014.

The first thing to make clear is that 1P for Mac and 1P for iOS are completely separate products. In other words, if you need 1P for Mac you have to buy it. The cost of it has nothing to do with whether or not you have 1P for iOS.
1Password is licensed per person and per platform, rather than per device. You can read more about AgileBits' approach to software licensing in this knowledge base article.
You can buy 1P for Mac either from the Mac App Store or direct from the AgileBits store. There are two things to bear in mind:
- If you ever want to use iCloud to sync 1P data between your Mac and iPhone you must buy 1P from the Mac App Store because the version from the AgileBits store doesn't support iCloud sync (following changes made by Apple on the launch of OS X Yosemite). Both versions support sync of 1P data by either local wifi or Dropbox.
- If you have owned an earlier version of 1P for Mac you may be entitled to an upgrade discount if you buy from the AgileBits store. That discount won't be available if you buy from the Mac App Store.

Hi @flummoxed,
I'm sorry for any confusion about that! Hopefully Stephen's reply helped to clear that up. The only thing I wanted to add is that you can download 1Password 5 for Mac from our download site and use it for free for 30 days (that might help you decide for sure if you want to purchase a license for the Mac version).
Please do let us know if you have more questions about that or need anything else - we're always happy to help! :)
