What happens if I update different devices?

Hi there. I have may main password vault on my macbook, and then I am syncing that to two devices (my iphone and ipad) so that I have my passwords no matter where I am and on any device. One question: when I'm on the road and update a password on my iphone for ex., and I sync it when back home (I do wifi sync only), then does 1password know to mirror that new password across to all my devices (ie. overwrite the Mac entry password, and also update my ipad entry as well?)

I'm pretty certain that's how it works, but wanted to ask this simple question to confirm that's how it works. (vs my master Mac account always over-writing entries)

Thanks!
Tom

    Hi @tdiggy9976,

    Thanks so much for taking the time to write in and for asking such a great question. :+1:

    If you are Wi-Fi syncing your data between your Mac and iOS devices and are on the road, away from your Mac, I would recommend that you wait and update 1Password for iOS until you are near your Mac, just in case a bad update happens and you loose the 1Password data from your iPhone.

    Updating 1Password on your iOS device will not affect how Wi-Fi sync is done. When sync occurs, we scan all your items and the most recent version of the item will "win".

    Please let me know if this helps.

    Cheers!
