Mac 1Password 6 multiple vaults
I am using 1Password 6 on Mac (standalone). I have created one vault,
Now I need to move 4 vaults from windows to Mac. I have copied the data on USB drive. How can I open these vaults on Mac?
I don't see any option to open another vault like what I see on Windows version.
Eventually I am planning to move these vaults on dropbox.

Extension Version: Not Provided

The file from Windows version has ".agilekeychain" extension and the file from Mac has ".opvault" as extension.
If I double click the the file from Windows version nothing happens.How can I move/open the vault?

No. Finally I figured it out.
With 1Password closed, I double-click the file from windows, it asks for password. This is where I have to enter the password for primary vault that I had created on Mac..and then it asks for the password for the vault from Windows and creates vault.Now the question is how do I delete that primary vault on Mac that I created at first and make this new vault (using the file from windows) as primary?

So, primary vault, and vault_from_windows - these are the two vaults I have now.
Primary vault has password say as "mypassword" and vault_from_windows has "amazing1password".
I am using vault_from_windows and I click lock to lock it down.Now to open the vault I come to 1Password. It says "enter your master password".
Now, I enter the password "mypassword" and it opens up both vaults.How can I lock each vault in a way that it asks for it's respective password?
When it says that "Enter your master password" is it asking for Mac's master password or primary vault's password?- note that my Mac's login password is "mypassword" - which is the same as primary vault's password.

Hi @vipson,
I'm glad to hear you figured out how to add the second vault to 1Password on your Mac!
To answer your questions:
How can I lock each vault in a way that it asks for it's respective password?
1Password for Mac works a bit different than 1Password 4 for Windows: In 1Password for Mac, the master password for your Primary vault will unlock all your vaults. It works that way for your convenience, so you only need to enter one master password to access all your data, instead of needing to unlock each vault separately. Each secondary vault still has its own master password, but you won't need to enter it unless you add that vault on another device (or remove and re-add it to 1Password on your Mac).
When it says that "Enter your master password" is it asking for Mac's master password or primary vault's password?
It's asking for the master password for your Primary vault.
Hopefully that answers your questions, but please let us know if you need anything else. We're always happy to help! :)

Yes..you have been very helpful..
Finally I moved my vault to Dropbox.
Since it was created on Windows using 1Password 4 it is in ".agilekeychain" extension and not in ".opvault".How do I get it to .opvault format/extension?
And last question:
How do I delete primary vault (I created after install) and keep the others?0 -
After digging I find:
https://support.1password.com/switch-to-opvault/Question - after following this instructions should I be able to put the data on DropBox (yes) and sync between Mac, Windows, iOS etc.?

Got the answer hard way :) I was able to sync but it got duplicates :(..
Anyway, learned a lot.That leaves me with one final question:
On Mac, can I delete Primary vault?0 -
@vipson: As far as the duplicates, you may find that Security Audit in the sidebar showing you duplicate passwords will help hunt those down faster to clean things up.
With regard to the Primary vault, once you're certain you no longer need it, you can disable local vaults in 1Password Preferences > Advanced. Cheers! :)
