editing logins or other info using 1Password Anywhere

I work with a woman who is out of state. I have access to her 1Password Anywhere and it works fine. Sometimes, tho, I need to edit a login, add new ones, better organize how she has logins arranged. Can I do any of this? or does she need to grant me some access from her end? Thank you,
Zoe

    Hi @Zoe,

    1PasswordAnywhere is a read-only option at this time. However, if you're also a 1Password user, you can take advantage of 1Password's Multiple Vaults feature and add this woman's vault to your own database as a secondary vault. Please let me know if this helps!

    Thanks Megan, for your quick response.

    ok. 1Password Anywhere is read-only at this time. I am in TX and my client is in another state, I want to help get her logins better organized, and this current scenario makes it impossible for me to make changes. Also, pending work requires that I add many new logins and I seek a way to include this to her database.
    I submit 3 scenarios. Please comment on what you see makes the most sense.

    Thank you!

    1. Is there perhaps some extension that will allow me to edit her database to which we both are connected to in Dropbox?

    2. Could I make a new vault with these entries, and then send the new vault to her that she could merge with her main vault?

    3. I could have her ’loan’ me her vault , make my new entries, then return the vault to her?

    Hi @Zoe,

    If you have access to 1PasswordAnywhere that strongly suggests you know her Dropbox log credentials (or she is currently sharing access to the folder that contains her 1Password.agilekeychain) and the Master Password for her vault. If this is the case your client's vault could easily be added as a secondary vault to a copy of 1Password 4/5 for Mac on your machine as Megan suggested. You would then have all the normal read/write access in their vault as well as yours and any changes are automatically synchronised which takes care of handling merging additions and modifications. When you are done you can remove the secondary vault from your copy of 1Password for Mac, making it somewhat like option 3. Obviously I am assuming (as was Megan) that you also own 1Password.

    There isn't an extension for option 1. that allows editing and while if you own 1Password you could also go down the route of option 2. the synchronisation aspect of sharing a secondary vault takes care of all the merging and ensuring anything you do makes it back to your client.

    Technically the above suggestion could be achieved using the free iOS version of 1Password although it would probably take more patience than I have, almost all of my editing takes place in 1Password for Mac where it's just easier (just my opinion).

    Let us know if that helped at all.
