    How do you change a vault icon in 1Password on Mac?

    Hi @firewaller,

    Thanks for writing in with your question! Since your question is different than the one from the previous discussion and is about Mac instead of iOS, we've moved your message to our Mac forum.

    Changing a vault's icon works differently depending on if it's a local/standalone vault (i.e. a vault that can be synced via Dropbox, iCloud, or WLAN) or if it's a vault that is part of a 1Password account:

    Local/standalone vaults: The icon of your Primary vault cannot be changed. Icons for secondary vaults can be chosen when creating or adding them. If you want to change the icon of an existing secondary vault, a workaround is to delete & re-add that vault - but first, make sure you create a current backup of your data by going to File > Backup in the menu. Then you can follow these steps:

    • Sync your secondary vault with Dropbox (or to a folder on your Mac).
    • Delete that vault by going to 1Password > Delete [vault name] Vault in the menu.
    • Re-add that vault by double-clicking its .opvault or .agilekeychain file in the Dropbox folder (or in another folder you chose).
    • When 1Password prompts you to add the new vault, you can edit the vault name, icon, and color.

    1Password account vaults: To change an icon for an account vault, sign into your account on 1Password.com and go to Admin Console > Vaults. Select a vault and you'll have an option to edit its icon.

    I hope that helps, but if you have more questions about that, please let us know. Cheers! :)
