Hi

With a family subscription can two 1password account members use the same app on the same computer to access there personal and shared vaults?

Thanks

    Hi @telUK! They can if they're using separate user accounts on that computer (i.e., separate Windows logins or separate macOS logins). 1Password stores its configuration (including details of signed-in account memberships) on a per-user-account basis, so as long as the two account members have separate logins on that computer, there should be no problem!

    Hi @john_m

    No they are using the same user account, I guess they would have to just have 1 account, as they share most of the password accounts anyway.

    @telUK The best way would be by using separate user accounts; however an alternative that might be useful to you would be the web interface that comes with our subscription accounts. It's a full client in and of itself, and being browser based, different users can log in and out as they please. It doesn't work with our browser extension currently, so login details would need to be copied and pasted, but that might be an acceptable tradeoff in your scenario. Just mentioning it in case its useful!
