How to sync 1Password data between Mac and iOS
Comments

Vee, I'm ready to purchase 1Password for my new MacBook. I already have 1 Password for my iPad (purchased from Apple) and in our last discussion I understood that it would not transfer to the computer. My question is (naive as this may sound), do I just purchase the new 1Password4 ($49.95) for the computer and all of my passwords from the iPad will automatically be on my new Macbook? I'm just not clear how that all happens. I will purchase it from Agilebits website. Thank you for your help.

Hi @ann3743,
Your previous forum discussion was about 1Password licensing, and it seems your new question is about how to sync your 1Password data between your iPad and Mac, so I've moved your message to a new discussion in order to avoid confusion. I hope you don't mind!

That purchase will allow you to install & activate the 1Password app on your Mac, so that's the first step.
The next step is to sync your 1Password data from your iPad to your Mac. What you'll need to do is choose one of the sync options, and we explain a bit about those option here:
How to sync your 1Password data
Once you choose a sync option, you'll be able to sync your data and set up 1Password on your Mac by following these steps in our user guide:
Use existing 1Password data on a new computer
So for example, if you choose Dropbox sync, you'll follow the steps to set that up in 1Password on your iPad first. Then, the first time you open 1Password on your Mac, you'll have the option to sync your data from Dropbox.
Does that help? Please let us know how it goes and if you have any questions up to this point. If you need more help with any of that, we'll continue from there. Thanks! :)
