Just wanted to confirm that that the licensed V7.0 still permits you to synch with your iOS devices by WLAN, in addition to the iCloud method.

Also I did not exercise option of synching additionally to another folder on my Mac. Does just having a current backup zip file suffice to keep me from disaster in case the update process from version 6 to 7.0 goes amiss? Have no clue where password files are stored, only the backup files.


1Password Version: 6.8.9
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 10.13.4
Sync Type: WLAN

    Hi @Neocybersailor,

    So 1Password 7 does still offer WLAN sync and it should be a seamless transition, your iOS devices shouldn't notice.

    As for the migration process itself. 1Password 7 should recognise the presence of your 1Password 6 vaults and offer you the option of using the data. It will copy everything it requires to the new support folders and leave your 1Password 6 data alone. So should you need to you could launch 1Password 6 and it would pick up from where it left off. While the automated backups are a nice safety net, one I'm glad we have they shouldn't be needed here even if something doesn't quite go to plan thanks to the fact that 1Password 7 only copies data from 1Password 6 and leaves it in a state where it can still be used if needed.

    Make sure you point out that while the upgrade process does preserve the 1Password 6 application, it compresses it into a zip file.

    I've been having a lot of trouble trying to determine if WLAN was removed in 1Password 7. This reassured me, but I would still like to find the official link because no WLAN is a HUGE hurdle for me.

    @tollaisle I am using 1Password 7.0.1 with WLAN sync and have been using WLAN sync throughout the 1Password 7 beta cycle. I can assure you it works. :)

    Indeed, we haven't made changes to WLAN Server in 1Password or Mac in years. It's still there, same as ever. :)
