I want to delete my current 1Password app (which has 30 login information) and re-install it using a different apple ID which I have been using it recently. So is it possible for me get all the data back when i install it again. I do sync it with iCloud.


1Password Version: 6.2.2
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Sync Type: iCloud

    Re installing my 1 password app using different Apple ID

    Hi @rahul1_pm,

    welcome to thee 1Password forum :)

    If you only change the Apple ID you are using for the App Store (Settings.app > iTunes & App Store) but not for iCloud (Settings.app > iCloud) that will work. Your iCloud data is bound to that iCloud Apple ID so as soon as you change it you can't access the 1Password data you previously synced to the old iCloud account.
    It is however never a bad idea to backup your data. I'd recommend doing period backups using iTunes - you can read more about it here:

    Hope that helps.

    Hi @Winnie

    Actually I have sync all my data to my iCloud account which I have been using now but I purchased 1passowrd using a different id. Now I want to delete that and purchase again using the same ID as my iCloud account which I have been using now.

  • Thanks, @rahul1_pm. It would still be a really good idea to make a backup of your data first, before making any changes, just in case.

    Even when syncing it is wise to make a backup periodically.
