Old vault password for login needed

I started using the beta client with a local copy of my vault (synced with Dropbox). I switched to 1Password for Families and deleted the local vault. It's no longer in the vault settings.

But I still need the master password of this deleted local vault. I would expect the master password of my family account is needed. At least this is how the Mac client seems to works.

1Password Version: 6.0.129d
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10
Sync Type: Family

    Hi @sebastian_bauer,

    At the moment, this is to be expected for the 1Password 6 beta apps. The app's database is encrypted with the first password you use with the app but that's not linked against the vault or the account. So, when you remove the vault and sign in with your 1Password account, the database is not updated with the new password, it remains encrypted with the same password.

    If you want to change this now, you can do so by unlocking the app, go to Settings > Options > Change Master Password.

    This will be improved in the future to be consistent with other 1Password apps.
