Are 1Password 6 features retroactive when going back to v4?

I haven't tried but in 1Password 4, secondary vaults were a real pain to set up. What will happen when I set up secondary vaults in v6 and then go back to v4? Do I have to redo it in v4 or stick to v6?

Nice work so far.

    @wkleem: First of all, that's for your kind words and encouragement! We know we have a lot of work to do yet, but it's great to be making progress on 1Password 6, and all the exciting things that entails! :chuffed:

    However, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Maybe an example would help. 1Password 4 doesn't have a notion of secondary vaults the way that 1Password for Mac and iOS do. Each vault is opened individually.

    1Password 6 works a bit differently too. If you're adding more than one local vault, they're just added to the list (and All Vaults) for you to access. There isn't anything special that needs to be done with them, and you could even close 1Password 6 and then open the same vaults in 1Password 4 if you like. Let me know if this helps! :)

    It's hard to explain. I have tried adding a secondary vault to 1Password 4 so that my iOS vaults can see 2 vaults. I so far can see 1 vault in iOS, which is the primary vault. I know about the limitation of 1Password 4 but 1 cannot get around the 1 vault limit. I have stopped trying.

    @wkleem: It sound like you may be using Wi-Fi Sync. Since 1Password 4 is only able to work with one vault at a time, it cannot sync multiple vaults at once. The only way to sync multiple vaults to and from 1Password 4 is Dropbox. Sorry for the trouble there. :blush:

    I was trying to get 1Password secondary vaults to work via Dropbox. Even with Greig's help, I just gave up!

    I'm sorry to hear that. Dropbox is deceptively simple on Windows since 1Password doesn't really do anything to manage it. A vault just needs to be in your Dropbox folder so Dropbox can sync it, and then you just open the vault from there using 1Password. Be sure to let me know if you'd like to give it another shot. I've been using Dropbox for years myself and would be happy to help. :blush:

    I think the initial confusion was that I'm on the MAC. Well I am, but my MAC Is 7 years old and nearly dead. My PC is Win7 SP1. IOS can't yet natively make secondary vaults as far as I'm aware of. Maybe one day...

    IOS 10 just got announced.

    Ouch. Yeah, my desktop PC was about 7 years old and just died too. At this point, it's probably not work repairing. Always have a backup. :lol:

    And indeed, 1Password for iOS (with the Pro Features) can add existing secondary vaults created elsewhere, but it would be cool to be able to create them there as well.

    Super excited about the new iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. And they say Christmas only comes once a year! :sunglasses:

    Hi

    Notably, the new MacOS Sierra will have a new minimum of late 2009/2010 Macs. The Mid 2009 and earlier Macs are now ineligible for upgrading

  • Hi @wkleem,

    Which is strange because some of the 2009 Mac Pros are far more powerful than some of the later 2011+ Macs.

    It would be nice to hear from Apple on why they made that distinction beside using the year of the model.

    @MikeT,

    Here's something for your devs. Apple also has introduced a new filesystem, the new APFS. HFS/HFS+ has been around for 20+ years? APFS is coming with macOS Sierra, eventually.

  • Hi @wkleem,

    Thanks, we've saw it as soon as they've revealed the rest of the WWDC schedule.

    It's coming in 2017, everyone will be converted to use APFS on all Apple devices. It will not be turned on by default in macOS Sierra but it will happen in some update sometime in 2017.

    That's very aggressive of Apple and hopefully, it goes well.

    @MikeT: Regarding the cutoff for older hardware, I believe this is due to Apple's increasing focus on security. From looking at the hardware specs, it seems like Macs without support for Intel's AES instructions and crypto acceleration are the ones not making the cut.

    But yeah, I'm most looking forward to a modern filesystem. Finally! :lol:

    @wkleem: I'm not sure that APFS is relevant to AgileBits, or really most developers. But it is super important to all of us because anything that improves data integrity improves all of our digital lives — even folks who will never give it a second thought. And hopefully one day none of us will have to. :chuffed:
