synced old machine. enabled iCloud on new one. iCloud is not an option to import new machine
I've synced 1Pass on my current machine. I have a new mac for work and want to import all of the goodness 1Pass allows me. I've enabled iCloud on my new machine. When I downloaded 1Pass and chose "Already have 1Password data somewhere else?" iCloud was not one of the options (only Dropbox, This Mac, Another Device, and Restore from backup).
1Password Version: 6.1 on both machines
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: from 10.10.5 to 10.11.3
Sync Type: iCloud

@njfritsch: Sorry for the confusion! If you setup a new vault, you can enable iCloud Sync in 1Password Preferences > Sync next to get it setup. We're working to add this to the first run setup too, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Honestly, we weren't completely certain that we'd be able to get iCloud Sync in there...but I'm glad we finally did! :)

Want to make sure I'm following... my vault on my old machine is synced by downloading 1Pass 6.0 on my new machine, clicking "Create Your First Vault" and then syncing via iCloud?

Hi @njfritsch,
Yes, that's correct - normally you should see an iCloud option during the setup, but there's a small bug which is causing it not to show up there. Our developers are working on correcting that, but in the meantime, you just need to setup 1Password as a new user (i.e. "Create Your First Vault") and choose the exact same master password you've been using on your other device(s). You'll end up with an empty vault, and then you can go to the menu option for 1Password > Preferences and select the Sync tab. You should be able to select iCloud sync there.
I apologize for the inconvenience! Hopefully this helps you get set up, but if you run into trouble with that or have any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know. :)

You're very welcome, I'm glad we were able to help you out with that! And I'm also glad to hear 1Password is such a helpful tool for you. I'm the same way - 1Password is the first thing I like to install on a new computer or device, and I'm guessing the others here are the same. ;)
We're always happy to help, so if you need anything else, be sure to let us know. Cheers! :)
