    I have a slightly different question. I'm a long-time 1PW user, who started off using a Dropbox vault and eventually moved over to the newer system. Right now I still have a "Primary" vault on my iPhone, into which I seem to have 9 items, and all the rest of my stuff (633 items) are in the new location. How can I (1) move the stuff out of that orphan Dropbox "Primary" vault to the other vault and then make sure I'm only using a single vault (the bigger one)? Thanks!

    @PGBernstein: Great question! You can move items between vaults if you have both the Dropbox vault and your 1Password.com account setup there (this can be done within each item, or by selecting multiple items in the item list). After you've moved everything to your account, just go to 1Password Settings > Vaults > Primary and Delete it there (this will not remove your data from Dropbox, just from within the app). I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

    For anyone else reading, this guide should help:

    I don't want to seem dense (!) but I seem to have the opposite problem than those described in the link. Right now I have an "orphan" vault, only on my phone, called "Primary" that is connected to Dropbox, with 9 orphaned items. It seems that whenever I add something on the phone, that's where they go. I want to move those nine items into my online account, and kill the other off permanently. Can this be done from the phone, since that seems to be the only place I can find that stuff?

    No worries. :) That is exactly what the instructions Brenty posted will accomplish for you. You’re going to do everything on the iPhone.

    First move the items from the Primary vault to the Personal vault using these instructions:

    https://support.1password.com/move-share-items/?ios

    Then open 1Password > Settings > Vaults > Primary > Delete Vault. This will remove the Primary vault, making your Personal vault the default.

    I hope that helps!
