Syncing
I haven't yet downloaded your app. I've read some of the information you have but am not sure if I can achieve the desired results.
I would like confirmation. Am I able to sync the 1Password app to my desktop? or only phone and iPad?
Thanks for your help.

You need two applications, the iOS one (for iPhone and iPad), free in its basic form but with an in-app purchase for extra features, and the desktop version (which is now a combined Mac and Windows licence), and you can then sync.
Alternatively, you can use the very new subscription service 1PW for Families, which includes all available platforms(Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, but there isn't a Linux version) with very easy sync.

@Selina: Indeed, as danco mentioned, you'll need to use 1Password on each device to be able to sync the data between them.
If you're only using Apple devices, this is pretty straightforward:
- Setup iCloud Sync in 1Password on the device where you have your data stored: 1Password for Mac or 1Password for iOS
- Setup iCloud Sync on each additional device, and they will share the same 1Password data in iCloud.
- That's it! :)
The main difference (and one of the many reasons we created 1Password Families) is that syncing between platforms and sharing data between family members does require some setup, and in some cases has limitations: iCloud Sync works only on Apple devices of course, but also only between devices using the same Apple ID. It is not possible to share data between Apple IDs, so unless you and your wife are sharing one, that may be a problem for you. And while Dropbox is cross-platform and you can share a Dropbox vault between accounts, 1Password Families makes all of that setup pretty much go away. Depending on how many family members and devices you're managing, that may me a huge win for you like it is for me. But if you just need to share a single vault with your wife, Dropbox is great for that once you've set it up. That's what I did for years myself (and still do, in a few cases).
It wasn't completely clear to me exactly what you're working with, so it may be that this covers what you need to get setup. But if you have any questions at all or have a more complex situation than just Macs and iPhones, be sure to let me know the details and I'll be happy to go over the options with you and walk you through the setup. Cheers! :)
