1password Mac user want his password on mobile too

Hi @Bsfez,

Does Danco’s reply help you at all? I do apologize if our documentation has been confusing. Please take a look at this article for information on how to set up sync with a WLAN server:

How to use the WLAN server

Hi @Bsfez,

I'm very sorry this has all been so confusing and frustrating for you! Syncing your 1Password data between your Mac and iPhone should be much easier, and I'm sure we can help to get this all sorted out.

You mentioned something in your first post that I wanted to clarify:

I understood I had to create an account to have them saved at agilebit vault (thing that I don’t like) but I did.

Do you mean that you signed up for a 1Password account? A 1Password account is a subscription service, and one of the benefits is that the vaults that are part of your account will automatically sync to your devices through our own secure servers - all you need to do is sign into your account in the 1Password app on each device. The other sync options (like WLAN, Dropbox, or iCloud) are not used for your account vaults.

You might also have one or more local/standalone vaults in 1Password on your Mac and iPhone. If you have a vault named "Primary", that's a local/standalone vault - in other words, that vault is not part of your account and does not sync through our own servers. A local/standalone vault can be synced via WLAN, Dropbox, or iCloud. It sounds like you enabled the WLAN Server option for your Primary vault, but I'm not sure if you have any data in your Primary vault - it might be in your account vaults instead.

If you signed up for an account, then I think there's some confusion about the difference between local/standalone vaults (like the Primary vault) and the vaults in your account. So the first thing to do is figure out exactly which vaults currently contain your data:

• On your Mac, open the main 1Password app (unlock it if prompted for your master password).
• Go to 1Password > Switch to Vault from the menubar - this will show you a list of all the vaults that are currently in 1Password on your Mac (including both local/standalone vaults and vaults that are part of your 1Password account).
• Select the Primary vault - do you see any of your data in the Primary vault?
• Go back to 1Password > Switch to Vault and select the personal vault from your account - do you see any of your data in that account vault?
• If you have any other vaults listed in 1Password > Switch to Vault, try checking each one to see which vaults contain your data.

Now, on the other hand, if I misunderstood and you didn't actually sign up for a 1Password account, that should mean you have all your data in your Primary vault, and possibly other local/standalone vaults. In that case, the WLAN option should work to sync that data. You don't need to go through the setup each time, you just need to have 1Password open and unlocked on your Mac and iPhone, and the sync should happen automatically.

I hope this helps and that I haven't caused further confusion! Please let us know how it goes and what you find. Thanks! :)

Hi @Bsfez

On behalf of Drew, you're very welcome! It's great to hear that you got it all working out with his help :chuffed:

You're right about how hard it is to remember to have different passwords for as many accounts as we have. I think that nobody remembers all of them, that's exactly where the idea for 1Password came from.

I really think you should have a one click sync all device option (no question asked).

Well, the great news is that we do have something like that! I mean we do ask a question, otherwise how would we know you really are who you say you are? But it's very easy: using 1Password accounts. You only need to set up your devices (a couple of clicks) and everything's available right away! This was one of the main motivation points behind 1Password Accounts :chuffed:

If you have any other questions or if there's anything else that we can help you with, please let us know!

Hi @Bsfez

It's great to hear your opinion, and of course to see things differently! ;) You have a point, if you already had data in 1Password you need to move it first which adds a few clicks to the mix. I know it might be a bit too late for this, but if you're still curious to see how accounts work this video will guide you step by step through the process. You were halfway there! In my personal opinion Wlan sync is more complicated than accounts, but I'm glad you made it work regardless!

I would like to hear your thoughts on how you think this could be make easier, we want you to have the best 1Password experience possible! :chuffed:

Thank you so much for your feedback, @Bsfez! We truly appreciate it. :)

You'll be happy to know that our developers are working to make this all easier in the future. 1Password accounts are still pretty new, and over time we'll keep improving how they work and integrate with the apps on each platform. We've heard from a few customers like yourself who didn't realize they needed to move their data from their old local/standalone vaults to their new account vaults, and that's one of the things we'd like to improve.

Your Primary vault is what we refer to as a local/standalone vault, because it isn't part of a 1Password account, and it only exists locally on your computer/device unless you use one of the other sync options. The reason your Primary vault isn't part of your 1Password account is because you created it on your Mac before you ever signed up for an account. It's kind of like if you buy a home safe to store some valuable possessions, but then later you rent a safe deposit box at a bank - if you want to store your valuables in the safe deposit box instead of your home safe, you need to move them from one to the other.

The same is true when you have items in your Primary/local vault that you want to move to your new account vault. We don't automatically move them for you because we don't know if that's what you want to do (some people like to keep their Primary vault with certain items in it). However, in the future we might add an option that pops up to ask if you want to move all your items from Primary to your account.

For now, it's actually very easy to move your items from the Primary vault to an account vault. Just switch to your Primary vault, select all items, and go to Item > Share > [account vault name] > Move. In case it helps, we have some more detailed steps to do that here: To import data into your new account

Of course, if you've decided you want to keep using your Primary vault and sync it via WLAN Server, that's fine too! ;) I just wanted to explain a bit more about how to move items to an account vault in case you were interested.

We're here for you if you have more questions about that! :)
