How to add an existing shared vault on Dropbox to iPassword 7

gunhoe

I recently upgraded from iPassword 6 to 7. Currently my iPassword 7 shows and syncs with my primary vault. My husband and I share another existing vault, but I am having trouble adding this second vault to my iPassword. I do not see a way to do this?

@gunhoe - Thanks for upgrading to 1Password 7! If you have a secondary vault that's shared between you and your husband, I'm guessing you did this via Dropbox (since iCloud and WLAN do not allow you to share vaults)? If so, and presuming that the sync keychain in Dropbox is of the OPVault format and not the Agile Keychain vault format, you should be able to navigate in Finder to the vault in your Dropbox folder and just double-click it to open it in 1Password.

If it IS in the Agile Keychain format, you'll need to do it a bit differently: first create a new vault from 1Password's File menu. Then choose File > Import, and you'll see a pop-up that looks like this:

Choose the first option ("1Password Keychain"). This will open a window that asks you to navigate to the Agile Keychain you want to import. Find the Agile Keychain for the vault you share with your husband and import it (you'll be asked for the vault password for that shared vault first). Then, you'll need to visit Preferences > Sync and re-establish sync with Dropbox in the same folder you had previously been using. Let us know how that goes for you!
