Hello, i just bought the app after using the free version for a while. I want to create a second vault and sync it with my iphone/dropbox. At the app Settings it gives the option to sync a additional vault, but after looking now for half an hour i cant find a way to create a additional Vault on my phone. Can you help me? I mean im not stupid, but i really cant find it. On PC you can do it for sure but there must be a way to do it on the go on the iphone right? thanks for your help!

    @msch83at: You are definitely not missing anything in 1Password 6 for iOS. Rather, you cannot currently create a new vault from the iOS side. You have to create it on the desktop version of 1Password and then sync it to the iOS side. We are considering adding the feature in the future.

    NOTE: Both 1Password 5 for Mac and 1Password 4 for Windows have a 30-day trial. This means you can install either version and use them to create a secondary vault which you can then sync to 1Password 6 for iOS, and you can do so without initially buying a desktop license.

    thanks for the help! I hope the feature gets added soon, otherwise im forced to use a pc and giving the option to sync a second vault but leaving out the feature to create one is a bit... thanks anyway

    We do want to add this ability to create more vaults on the mobile devices in a future update but we don't have a timeframe yet.

    On behalf of Marshall, you're welcome.

    It's September 20, 2015 and this feature has not been added yet. Please do so as I expected this to be possible. Thanks

    Hi @vhq1990,

    While this is still definitely something we'd like to make possible at some point, it unfortunately is not likely coming in the immediate future.

    I do apologize if we failed to manage expectations properly.

    I'm overall happy with the product but I was under the impression that I would be able to create more than one vault. The Mac version is $57 Canadian before tax. You should inform about this in the iOS description or provide a discount for the Mac version if buying the iOS version. Just my thoughts

    I'm sorry for the confusion! We'll see if we can make that clearer...but also make vault management easier on iOS. We've added some additional options in recent months, and we're not finished yet! :)
