I mostly wifi sync on my primary machine, a Mac. When I want to sync w/the secondary Windows 10 machine, I have to reset the wifi sync, retype the secret. Is there a way to not have to keep retyping the secret every time when switching between machines to wifi sync? Thanks.

OS Version: OS X 10.10.4
Sync Type: wifi

    Hi @snowcake,

    Thanks for taking the time to write in.

    Unfortunately WiFi sync was not designed for doing what you're doing. It was designed to sync one computer with one or more iOS devices. A single iOS device is not set up to sync with multiple computers. Doing so erases the sync state each time you switch computers and will likely lead to conflicts.

    For syncing Mac + iOS + Windows our recommendation would be to sync using Dropbox:

    Sync with Dropbox | 1Password for iOS

    I hope that helps!

    Thanks, was wondering why there were duplicates after the sync to Windows.
