Hi

I am a long time (2/4/08) user of 1Pwd. It is currently installed on my iMac and I also have licensed versions running on my iPhone and iPad. I just bought a Macbook (still using my iMac) and also want to be able to access my single vault. I use iCloud to sync everything since I only have one vault and only have Apple devices. I read lots of articles on your site but still can't figure out what to do.

1Password Version: 610006
Extension Version: 4.5.3
OS Version: OS X 10.11.3
Sync Type: iCloud
Referrer: kb:purchase-verification, kb:switch-from-mac-app-store, kb:sales-faq, kb:add-license, kb:sync-options

    Hi @billk69,

    Thanks for writing in with your question! I can definitely help you sync your 1Password data to your new MacBook.

    The first thing you'll want to do (if you haven't already done so) is install 1Password on your new MacBook. If you bought 1Password from the Mac App Store, you'll need to launch the Mac App Store and download 1Password from the 'Purchased' section (make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID you used to buy it). If you bought a license for 1Password from our AgileBits Store, you'll need to get a copy of the app from our download site.

    The first time you open 1Password on your MacBook, you should be able to choose to sync your data from iCloud, as described here: Use existing 1Password data on a new computer

    If you don't have an option for iCloud in the setup, that's probably due to a small issue our developers are working on. But there's a simple workaround:

    • Setup 1Password as a new user (i.e. create a new vault) and choose the exact same master password you've been using on your other devices.
    • Once you have a new, empty vault, go to the menu for 1Password > Preferences.
    • Select the Sync tab, then change the sync option from None to iCloud.
    • Follow any additional steps to sync your 1Password data from iCloud to your new MacBook.

    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. :)
