Two Users one Mac Two iPhones (DropBox)

I have a license the supports multiple users in my family. I'd like to get my wife on board. She has her own iPhone and DropBox account and she will have different websites. I am not really sure if we can share our Mac but have different 1password accounts?

    Hi @Glenn Rhodes,

    The actual 1Password application is intended as a single user application and we let OS X do the work of multiple user accounts. If you each have your own OS X user account though there's nothing to worry about. You can both have your own vaults and each of you can use your own Dropbox account because each OS X user account is quite isolated from the other. She will likely need to apply your licence to 1Password in her account but that's exactly the sort of thing covered by it. Does this help at all? If you have other queries or feel that doesn't answer the issue please do let us know.

    Thanks, I am working well now but for me creating multiple user accounts on our Mac seemed like the cleanest way to do this.

    No problem! Each user has account their own application data, so this is actually much easier than if you wanted to share vaults between accounts (since each file has only one owner). Cheers! :)
