Or...is there a video that says how to do this. In other words, I already have a 1Password account, and it is hooked up
on my 21" iMac...however, recently i got 2 refurbished iMacs and want to put the 1Password App in their Toolbar i.e. for Firefox.
How can i properly get a download of the 1Password app to my other iMacs and use the same account?
Appreciate your help here. Thank you. Nathan

    Hi @nathan_w,

    In order to get 1Password setup on your new Macs, you will need to install the 1Password apps and install the browser extension.

    After that installing the app and extensions, you can proceed to add your 1Password account to the apps.

    That's it! You should be good to go.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

    Hi JadC,
    Okay...i have a 21"iMac and on it i have my main account with 1Password. And here on the 21"iMac is where i want my main work to remain and be done. The other 2 iMacs, are extra devices. On your last link : add your 1Password account to the apps....it says to migrate my info of my 'main account' to....'this new iMac'....if i do that will the info appear on both iMacs? and if the info does stay on the 21"iMac, i am happy to put it / migrate it to the other 2 iMacs. Also: i do not really need to Scan the QR Code if i have already done that for my existing account. Correct? Your opinion?

    From previewing your links...it appears that in order to accomplish having the 1Password icon in the toolbar, i must proceed as if i am opening a new account (but in reality, i am not! Correct?...What i am doing is just putting the same account on all 3 devices. Correct?

    Hope you can still hang in here until i get clear about this. Thanks, JadC
