Hello,

I have 1Password version 3.7.2 on my iPhone 4. I need to transfer all those passwords to 1Password 5 on my new iPhone 6.

So far nothing I tried worked - I couldn't sync using Dropbox, couldn't sync using wifi, couldn't use a backup. It's a complete fail. I am unable to upgrade the version of the app either as I cannot put iOS8 on iPhone 4 and that is a requirement for the upgrade..

Could you please advise how I can do the transfer? I'd really hate to type in everything by hand... I have a Macbook with Mavericks and a Macbook with Yosemite OS on them in case these could be of any help.

Thanks,
Tatyana

    Good morning Tatyana, and sorry for the trouble you're having migrating your data from 1Password 3 on your iPhone 4. I believe there is an avenue that should work for you, so let's try this:

    1. On your iPhone 4 open up the App Store and tap on the Updates and then Purchased.
    2. Search for 1Password in this list. While 1Password 5 is the latest version available in the store, you should see 1Password 4 available to install on your iPhone 4.
    3. Install 1Password 4.
    4. Follow the steps in this guide: https://guides.agilebits.com/1password-ios-kb/4/en/topic/upgrading-from-legacy-versions . Even though those steps mention upgrading to iOS 8 and 1Password 5, the steps should be similar enough for 1Password 4 for you to follow them.
    5. Once you have your 1Password 3 data in 1Password 4, follow these steps to setup Dropbox syncing on your iPhone 4: https://guides.agilebits.com/1password-ios/4/en/topic/sync-with-dropbox
    6. Once you finish step 5 you will now have all your data in Dropbox and you can follow these steps to setup Dropbox syncing on your iPhone 6: https://guides.agilebits.com/1password-ios/5/en/topic/sync-with-dropbox

    Let me know how this works out for you and if you run into any trouble.

    Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. They worked! I didn't realize I could get 1Password 4 for my iPhone 4, the last I checked it just told me I didn't have the right iOS. I'm all set now. One strange thing though is that I lost Bank Accounts and Social Security categories after migration to 1Password 5 on iPhone 6. The information is still there but is tossed with other stuff under Logins. It's not a big deal but it would have been nice to get those categories back. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Actually, now I notice that Bank Accounts and Social Security Cards aren't even in Logins anymore. I am, however, able to locate them by typing names in a search.

    Hi @Tanyuk,

    That might be because 1Password 5 is in the free mode, it is restricted to four categories. Once you unlock the Pro feature, it'll unlock the rest of the categories.

    Try this:

    1. Open 1Password, unlock, and go to Settings > Pro Features
    2. Tap on Restore Purchases and enter your AppleID account

    After this, it should then show you the rest of the categories.
