@betty: If you share sensitive information with someone, they have access to it, and secrets that have been shared cannot be unshared. Can you tell me why you gave them this information in the first place? It sounds like you didn't want to, so I'm unclear as you why you did. 1Password data is encrypted in a vault with a Master Password you set, and so no one can access the data inside the vault unless you give them the Master Password to unlock it.

Ι shared a login with information that was not sensitive. Then I found out that it is encrypted. Maybe I didn't sent it properly and I would like you to help me on how to do it. I would like to send my facebood logins to a virtual assistance encrypted. How I can I do it ??
I just bought 1 password and I am trying to learn it to its max. Thank you for your assistance and looking forward to your reply.0 -
@betty: Absolutely! You can copy the item(s) you want to share (
Ctrl C), create a new vault from the File menu, paste the item(s) (Ctrl V), and then share the vault using Dropbox:Sharing a 1Password vault
Just make sure that you only put information in the shared vault that you want them to access, and also keep in mind that you'll need to give them the Master Password for it in order for them to unlock it. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Thank you, however, it's not clear to me. After I do all that as you suggest, will my virtual assistance still be able to see my password or it will show to him encrypted. Thank you for your assistance.

@betty: Yes, if you give the the vault and the Master Password to access it, they can see all of the data inside.
The vault itself is encrypted using the Master Password you choose. But they cannot access the shared information at all unless you also provide the Master Password. You can either share it with them and give them the password so they can access the shared data, or, if you don't want them to be able to access it, don't share it with them at all. You can't have it both ways, I'm afraid.

Paste the item into the new vault — the one you are going to share. Alternatively, you can create new items in the shared vault manually. But if you already have the item you want to share in your own vault, copying and pasting is easier. :)

Ok, I paste it to my new vault, however by checking it I see that my virtual assistance will be able to see the password, the information isn't encrypted! also
How can I sent my vault to dropbox before sharing it? thank you again0 -
@betty: The information is encrypted, but you're giving them the Master Password to decrypt it. Encryption prevents someone without the key from accessing data. If you give someone the key to your house, they can use it to get in. If you don't want someone in your house, don't give them the key. If you don't want your assistant to see your data, don't given them the Master Password. But in that case it makes even more sense to not share the vault in the first place. Dropbox is how you can share data over the internet. 1Password is how it's secured. Can you tell me what you're trying to do exactly?

Hi @betty,
I think I know what you're asking for, are you asking if there's a way to transmit information in a way that your VA does not see the password but still can use the login?
If yes, that's not technically possible at all, no one can do this securely. Your VA must log into the site with the password in clear text to use your information, there isn't a way to bypass this.
Some tools may say they can conceal the password to prevent others from seeing it but that's an illusion, it can be easily worked around and the password can be revealed via many methods.
If you do not trust your VA with this information, you should not pass it on.

I would like to send my facebook login to my virtual assistant. I have created a vault for him, I haven't sent his vault yet because I don't know how; however I have managed with Control C and Control V to place my facebook login to his vault but I can see there my facebook password. I know about dropbox but I don't know how to send his vault encrypted? I hope you understand now so you can assist me. Thank you

Hi @betty,
You can see your password because you've unlocked the vault in 1Password. The vault itself is encrypted on disk, when you move this to your Dropbox folder, Dropbox only sees this encrypted vault, and nothing else. Your VA sees the same thing, an encrypted vault in his Dropbox folder but to get into it, he needs to have 1Password open it and enter the vault password to decrypt it. Your VA will see everything you see once the vault is unlocked in 1Password.
You can confirm this by opening Windows' File Explorer and go through the .agilekeychain folder to see its content, the data will look scrambled.
To send your VA the vault, share the folder with him via Dropbox. Here's the instructions on how: https://support.1password.com/dropbox-share-vault/?win

Thank you. What I understand now is that my virtual assistant would have access to my password with facebook; however I could change the password of his vault at any time, correct? Back to my seceond question, how can I send him encrypted his vault via dropbox. I apprecite your assistance.

Hi @betty,
Yes, you can change the vault's password or better still, stop sharing the vault, it's under your control. However, be aware that if the VA no longer work with you and you stop sharing the vault, you will need to change all the passwords in that specific vault manually.
As for your second question, I did send you the instructions, it's here: https://support.1password.com/dropbox-share-vault/?win
Please click on it and follow the guide on the bottom. It looks like this:

I canot sync dropbox with my 1 password because I haven't installed it in my computet it takes space. How else can I sync it? Thank you

Hi @betty,
You can use the selective sync feature in Dropbox to only sync a few folders and not everything. You can find out more here: https://www.dropbox.com/help/175
This really is the best option you have.

My phone is sync with dropbox, how can I send an encrypted message through 1 password. Thank you again for your assistance.

Hi @betty,
What do you mean by encrypted message?
If you have 1Password set up on the phone with Dropbox sync, it will receive any changes you make to the vault in 1Password for Windows.
Is this what you're looking for?

Of course I read all of your comments. I asked about my desktop and now about my iphone. So, again, I would like to know how to send an encrypted message and a vault using my iphone which by the way syncs with my dropbox. I look forward for your reply. I hope this is clear now, Thank you

Dear khad - Mike T, i have succeeded to share vault with my partner via dropbox sync and thanks for your support. I have one final question. In my desktop i have 2 vaults. One is the master and the second is for my partner (the one which is shared). In my iphone via wifi sync i can see only the master vault. How can i manage to add the second vault to my iphone. The target is that i want to send a secure note or login from my iphone directly to the second vault which is shared with dropbox. Thank you once again. You are an amazing team, indeed.

Hi @betty,
We're glad to hear that you've made progress and that our instructions were helpful.
It's only possible to sync the primary vault on your iPhone via Wi-Fi. All subsequent vaults have to be synchronised using Dropbox.
That being said, you can copy an item between vaults using the 'Move or Copy' option at the bottom of each item in 1Password for iOS.Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Can you please make it more explicit how to send a sensitive information via iphone to a VA ? Thank you

@betty: You can share a vault using Dropbox (it sounds like you did this already):
Share a vault (Windows)
And then setup the same vault on the iPhone:
Share a vault (iOS)
After that, you can simply add data to the encrypted vault on either device and it will sync to the other. I hope this helps! :)
