    Hi @andegerd,

    Thanks for taking the time to contact us. I'm sorry for the delayed reply.

    A 1Password for Mac license is valid for yourself and 4 other family members in your household. So from a licensing standpoint, you are all set there.

    All your wife needs to do is either use 1Password on a different Mac or in a different OS X user account if she wants her 1Password data to be separate from yours. It's just like Safari browsing history and iMessage. It will all be mingled together unless you keep it separate. Fortunately, it's pretty simple to do.

    If you and your wife and using 2 different Macs, then you're all set.

    If you are using the same Mac and don't already have separate user accounts, you can create one like this:

    OS X El Capitan: Set up users on your Mac

    Then just install 1Password and set it up as you did in your own user account. :)

    If we can be of further assistance, please let us know. We are always here to help.

    Cheers!
