    Hi @salzano,

    Thanks for writing in, and welcome to 1Password. :)

    Switching out the user account easily (without having to completely sign out/sign in) isn't possible in any of our apps. It's something that we'd like to make possible one day, but it's not currently a priority for us. Probably not the answer you want to hear, but I like to be as honest as possible about things like that.

    Cheers.

    Rick

    Hi Rick

    Thanks for reply. Oh sad that isn't possible. I hope one day will come too :-)
    If you can inform me then, that would be great!

    Enjoy your day.

    Hi Jacob, I have a similar question. We have a team-account with approximately 35 users. In our office some users need to change stations once in a while. Even after removing the 1password software and reinstalling we cannot login with other team-members. Do you guys have any solution for that?

    Warm regards,

    Matijn

    @Matijn: While you can always logout of one account in the app and login with another, this isn't something we recommend, both for usability (!P just isn't designed with this in mind) and security reasons. Separate user accounts is something the OS supports though, and this is both better for the user (fast switching between accounts as needed) and more secure (since they each have their own operating environment separate from other users' data). While this is an area we're interested in, since this is a feature all modern OSes have supported themselves for years (decades, in many cases), we're focused on areas where 1Password can make a bigger difference.

    @brenty : Thank you for your swift reply! Our desktops don't have separate accounts yet. We will investigate this option within our company. In our case, someone has 'left' the company and I need allocate a new team-member to the desktop. So I can't logout the desktop application. After removing the software and re-installing, the application will ask for the 'master' password (probably from the previous user). So the removal wasn't successful. Moreover, can I do a clean installation? Looking forward to you reply ;-)

    Warm regards,

    Matijn

    Hi @Matijn - On behalf of @Brenty, you're very welcome. You could reset 1Password which will erase everything within the app. When you re-launch 1Password, you will start from the welcome screen so the next employee can sign in and add their account. I will include a helpful link below on how to start over with 1Password -

    I hope this helped and keep us posted if you have any further questions. We're here to help :smile:
