Sync from iPhone to iMac. See it on setting on iMac, but don't know where to locate it to open?

1Password free version on my iPhone 6. Did sync process, see it in settings on iMac as being in sync. But can not locate 1Password program on the iMac to actually use the shared data? I've searched all around on the iMac, drawing a bank. Hoping you can steer me in the right direction. Thank you.

@masseygc:

What settings are you looking at on your iMac to see that?

1Password for Mac is a separate product from 1Password for iOS. If you want to use it you have to download it: have you done that?

I can locate at the end of this trail:
Setting Preferences
-iCloud
--Manage
---Manage Storage
----1Password

When I just searched for the location to answer your question, I had a system message that iCloud was not backing up. To authorize sharing. So that might have something to do with the issue. But not sure what options to authorize?

Hi @masseygc ,

It sounds you just don't have 1Password installed on your Mac. What you saw in the iCloud Preferences is the data that your phone synced to iCloud.

You can download 1Password for Mac from our website, https://1password.com or from the Mac App Store app on your Mac. The direct link is here: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/1password-password-manager/id443987910?mt=12

Cheers,
Kevin

Thank you, it was just not clear to me as it seemed it could be pulled in over the cloud. I will install on the Mac, and hopefully be good to go. Appreciate the assist. GCM

Hi @masseygc,

I hope that you're all set up now, but if you hit any snags, or have any follow-up questions about 1Password, we're always here for you. :)

Actually one more question before I pay and load the 1Password onto the iMac. The user and log-on currently being used on my iPhone-- that will be recognized when I load 1Password program onto the iMac? I have this concern that it will ask for a new user/password with a message-- already in use. Then the information already on iPhone will sync over to the iMac, and vice a versa. Actually more user friendly because of the enhanced iMac paid software. Hopefully my question is clear. Thank you. GCM

Hi @masseygc,

As long as you've already set up iCloud Sync in 1Password on your iPhone, it should be very easy to set up 1Password on your Mac and sync your data from iCloud. The first time you launch 1Password for Mac, it should find your data in iCloud and give you the choice to select that. You can follow the steps in our user guide here: Use existing 1Password data on a new computer

Does that help to answer your question? Please let us know how it goes, thanks! :)

Thank you Drew, I will use these steps when purchasing and adding 1Password. GCM
