In the 1Password app on my iPhone I see after upgrading to version 7 a Primary vault and a Personal vault.
Is it save to delete the Primary vault and how ?

Best regards and thanks !

    Hi there @chris_eeftink! When you switch to syncing with a 1Password account, a new Personal vault is created. If you've migrated all your data into the Personal vault—you can check by switching to that vault or going to start.1password.com—then you will want to delete the Primary vault to avoid confusion/duplicates in the future. Do make sure you're able to sign into your account (including knowing your Secret Key) and have an Emergency Kit printed out to ensure you're never locked out.

    Let us know if there's more we can do to help you. :)

    The strange thing is that I only see in the app under iOS the Primary vault. When I log in at https://my.1password.com I only see my Personal vault and no Primary vault ;-)

    @chris_eeftink that's exactly how it should be! That "Primary" vault is a standalone vault, completely separate from your 1Password account. If all of your 1Password data is in the "Personal" vault (and nothing's just in the Primary vault) then you can delete the Primary vault in the 1Password app > Settings tab > Vaults > Primary > Delete Vault.

    I deleted the Primary vault on all iOS devices. Now I only see the Personal vault on all devices.
    Problem solved ! Thanks ;-)

  • Glad to hear that worked out. Thanks!
