When I tried to wi-fi sync with iPhone and macbook air, "wi-fi sync screen of iPhone" shows different computer name. However, "secret" shown in "wi-fi sync screen of iPhone" is the same as "secret" shown in "wi-fi sync screen of macbook air". So, I think iPhone is trying to sync with proper macbook air. Then, why iPhone shows different computer name?

iPhone 6 plus : 1Password Version 6.1.2, iOS 9.1
Macbook Air (Mid 2013) : 1Password Version 5.4 (540046), OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite)
Sync type: Wi-Fi

    @Makoto Kimura: I'm not sure that I understand completely, but try this:

    1. Disable sync on your iPhone
    2. In 1Password for Mac, open Preferences > Wi-Fi Server
    3. Right-click the secret and generate a new one
    4. Setup Wi-Fi Sync

    Does that work? IF you're getting an error message, please let me know exactly what it is. A screenshot might help. To include it in your reply, simply click the document button in the top of the comment field, and select the file you wish to share:

    But if it's only the "computer name" which isn't matching and everything else works fine, it may simply be a setting on your Mac. 1Password Wi-Fi Sync uses Bonjour, so this will be what's displayed in System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name. I hope this helps. Please let me know what you find! :)

    brenty,

    Thanks for your support.

    "Computer name" in 1Password doesn't match the one which is displayed in System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name in Macbook Air.
    Having said that, now I realized that "computer name" in 1Password is shown in Pinyin of "Japanese language computer name" in MAC.

    Thank you for your support again.

    Best regards,

    @Makoto Kimura: Sorry for the confusion! It sounds like you might have been running into an issue due to Bonjour not supporting Unicode computer names well, so you weren't seeing what you'd expected. In testing we've found that plain text works best for computer names with Bonjour network discovery.

    However, if you're seeing a problem with the translation of the 1Password app itself, be sure to let us know. And you can also contribute to the CrowdIn project. Thanks! :)
