How 2 sync 2 Macs
I have a MacPro and a MacBookPro, I want to have the exact same data on both machines. How can I sync them when both have already some objects in 1Password stored? (For example: I had to create 3 passwords on my MacPro, now I am supposed to travel, so I want the new passwords also on my Laptop, but cannot remember which one I set up recently. So I want to sync the two machines to have the same content on both) I want to sync by my internal WiFi and not through an external server like iCloud or Dropbox, I have none of those installed and do not intend to install them. Thanks for advice.
1Password Version: 6.3.1
Extension Version: 4.5.6
OS Version: OS X 10.10.5
Sync Type: WiFi

@hpk: It isn't possible to use Wi-Fi Sync between multiple computers. Any sort of sync service needs a server. With Dropbox and iCloud this is obvious, but the same applies to Wi-Fi Sync: 1Password for Mac (or Windows) acts as the server. It cannot also act as a client, and only the mobile apps support this functionality.
It's an interesting problem we may be able to tackle in the future, but for now you'll need to use Dropbox, iCloud, or 1Password Families/Teams to keep your data up to date automatically between computers. Also, Dropbox is the only one of those that requires a client install. And keep in mind that your 1Password data is end-to-end encrypted, so 1Password simply doesn't depend on any of these to protect your data. 1Password is secure by design, not by chance. Alternatively, you can use Folder Sync to manually copy data between computers...but you'll need to take care to manage duplication.
