Pro (shared vaults) v. Families for 2 users

matthewfrankel

Hi, I have 1Pass 6.5.2 and use for my Mac and I believe 6.4.5 for iOS devices. I would like my wife to have her own 1Pass account (her own Master Password) and I'm wondering if she could just DL 1Password Pro create her own Master PW and then we can share a "Family Vault" for shared logins such as bills and such? I know you have Families now, but I'm trying to justify the monthly membership cost vs. a one time DL, assuming she can use the app on all of her devices as I do. Pros and cons? Look forward to your response and advice so I can make an informed decision. Thanks.

Hi @matthewfrankel

Thank you very much for your interest in 1Password, it's great news to hear that you want your wife to use it as well! We designed 1Password Families exactly as a solution to sharing. There used to be a way to share vaults between different people using Dropbox, but it was so complicated to set up, and would cause so much trouble to the people that used it that we worked very hard to find a solution without all these issues. Keep in mind that she'd only be able to use 1Password with her iOS devices for free so if you both want to use it on a desktop 1Password Families will have you covered in that base as well.

I hope that this answered your questions, and if I missed anything or there's anything else that you'd like to know please let us know and we'll be glad to help you out :chuffed:
