new iPhone 6s

billgronke

I use the 1 Password on my iMac, iPhone 6s and iPad Pro. I want to install 1 Password on my wife's new iPhone 6s. I want to use the same program. We don't need different vaults, but would like her fingerprint ID to work. Is this possible?

Hi @billgronke,

Thanks for asking about this. You can absolutely install 1Password on your wife's iPhone. Here is a direct link if it helps:

Now, are you asking about sharing a single vault (which would require you to both use the same Master Password)? If so, you would also need to use the same Apple ID since you are syncing with iCloud. iCloud is tied to your Apple ID. So if she has her own Apple ID and is signed in to it on her device, she won't be able to access the 1Password data associated with your Apple ID.

If you share a single Apple ID, you are all set. If not, let me know, and we can look at your other options. :)

I understand. What would be the other options? I did get the 1 Password Pro version for the cell phone from the App store. I mentioned about sharing a vault as it is not important to us to keep info separated. (after being married for almost 30 years, what's hers is hers and what's mine is hers) But also separating vaults is not a problem. I haven't set up her iCloud account yet. Please advise on that.
Thanks again
Bill

Hi @billgronke ,
Seeing as how the greater % of AgileBits staff are based on the North American continent, let's see if I can answer your question on khad's behalf.
As khad already said, if you and your wife have separate Apple IDs, then you 1Password vaults will be separate from each other. If you both wish to synchronise to the same vault, you have two options:

• You can synch both devices to a free Dropbox account.
• You can synch both devices via WiFi to a computer.

You will find user guides for both options here.

If you still have questions, there is always someone around to help and the people in North America will be rising from their slumbers very soon.

Cheers,
Rob

@billgronke: Indeed, while you can't sync data between iCloud accounts, Dropbox was designed for just this kind of sharing:
