I am using 1PW 6.6.4 on my Mac. I changed a pw on my iPhone yesterday and it still is not reflected on my mac. I use iCloud to backup and am using Sierra 12.12.4. is there a way to force sync?

    Hi @spritzdog,

    Sorry to hear your changes aren't syncing! I'm sure we can help to figure this out.

    Let's start by checking the sync settings to make sure they're set up properly:

    On your Mac:

    • Open 1Password and go to 1Password > Preferences in the menubar.
    • Click the Sync tab and make sure iCloud is selected for your Primary vault.
    • If it shows a different sync option or says None, enable sync with iCloud by following the steps here: Sync with iCloud (Mac)

    On your iPhone:

    • Open 1Password and go to Settings > Sync > Primary.
    • Make sure it shows the Sync Service is iCloud.
    • If it shows a different sync service or says Start Syncing, enable sync with iCloud by following the steps here: Sync with iCloud (iOS)

    Let us know how it goes. If iCloud sync wasn't enabled on your Mac or iPhone, does enabling it solve the problem?

    Drew it seemed to work. How often does the mac 1PW sync with ICloud?

    Hi @spritzdog ,

    1Password will sync with iCloud when you unlock 1Password, switch to another vault (if you have more than one vault) or when a change is made to one of your items in your Primary vault.

    Cheers,
    Kevin
