How to sync across: (1) iMac, (2) Macbook Air, (3) iPad, (4) iPad mini, (5) iPhone, (6) work PC

I bought, 1Password for MAC and PC. I also use iOS devices (not sure if I need to buy a separate license). I want to sync passwords across all platforms and devices. If I sync through wireless, I can only have one Mac computer. My work pc is on a separate network, though I can log in from home on my home network. I'm worried that I won't be able to, eg log into pw-protected websites I use on different computers, such as my bank and cc, if the password is stored on one network and not the other. Also, do I need to buy a separate iOS license? Which one?

Thanks

    Hi @ribber,

    Good questions! As far as syncing goes, it sounds like you're asking about the Wi-Fi sync option. Wi-Fi sync is meant to work between one desktop computer (Mac or Windows) and one or more iOS devices. It will not work directly between multiple desktop computers, so because you want to sync between 2 Macs and a Windows PC (as well as your 3 iOS devices), it's not a good sync option for you.

    The only sync option that will work between all of your devices & computers is Dropbox sync:

    Dropbox sync will make sure your 1Password data stays up to date on your Macs, iOS devices, and Windows PC.

    Also, do I need to buy a separate iOS license? Which one?

    1Password is sold separately for each platform. Having said that, 1Password 6 for iOS is a free download, and offers free basic features. So you don't need to purchase anything unless you decide you want the Pro Features. The Pro Features are free if you previously purchased 1Password 4 for iOS, or if you purchased the Pro Features in 1Password 5 for iOS. Otherwise, you can choose to unlock the Pro Features with an in-app purchase. You would only need to purchase the Pro Features once and can unlock them in 1Password on all your iOS 8 or iOS 9 devices associated with your Apple ID.

    Hopefully that answers your questions, but please let us know if you need anything else. We're always happy to help! :)
