How can my wife & I see all of each other's data?

I've been using 1Password standalone for a long time. I just upgraded to Family so my wife can also start using it. We want each of us to have access to all of each other's vault contents.

I assumed I could just give her access to my Private vault and vice versa and we'd be done. But I understand it isn't possible to share a Private vault. So how do we make this work? How do we ensure that updated passwords and new items we create are accessible to both of us?

1Password Version: 7
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Sync Type: Dropbox

    Hi @curtisjackson

    There are two ways to do this:

    1. You can each not use your Private vaults, and instead only use shared vaults. You’ll likely want to adjust 1Password > Preferences > All Vaults and uncheck the Private vault from here and set an appropriate ‘vault for saving’ as well.
    2. You could use the same credentials for 1Password. You would essentially be the same person, as far as 1Password is concerned.

    I hope that helps!

    Thanks. I did your option (1) and it all went smoothly (I think).
