I'm on 1Password 6. Why is the online documentation for version 4?

Hi @stevesobol,

Thanks for writing in.

We do apologize about this. We have two separate 1Password versions on Windows right now, 1Password 4 is the latest version for standalone local users while 1Password 6 is a limited version for 1Password.com users that doesn't have all of the features implemented yet. 1Password.com itself does not have folders, it uses the tags structure instead and will not have folders support. It may gain support for smart folders based on tags in the future.

1Password 6 was also released after we've overhauled our documentations to blend all 1Password versions in the same support articles as all 1Password apps will be consistent rather than having separate user guides. We're continuing to add more articles but it is not yet complete. I'll file requests to rename the user guide to 1Password 4 on the support page.

There was no 1Password 5 either, 1Password 6 will eventually be offered as an upgrade to 1Password 4 when it is complete.

If you have any questions, we'd be happy to help.

Hi @stevesobol,

I want to sort them into separate vaults based on whether they are personal passwords, or passwords I use at work (my company's, and clients').

I don't know if LastPass let you export selectively but can you try creating multiple export files, convert them to 1PIF and ask 1Password 6 to import them into different vaults with different 1PIF files?

How are they separated, do they have a tag?

But the bigger issue is having FIVE HUNDRED passwords stored in my Temporary vault, which I use by default to store newly-added passwords, and not being able to move more than one at a time...

You can select multiple items to copy them into another vault. Press Control and click on multiple items on the item list and then right-click to select Copy Items to copy them to specific vaults. like so:

Unfortunately, we don't have move implemented yet, so you would have to delete them manually in the temporary vault.

And you guys really need to add some way to display something other than a flat hierarchy of tags. Smart folders may work.

We have plans to do so, we're just starting out with tags. In the past, we had everything, folders, tags, and smart folders. It caused a lot of confusion and wasn't cross-platform friendly, so starting with 1Password 6 and 1Password.com, we're using tags only, which is cross-platform built in mind first.

And why did I end up getting 6 when downloading the app? If 6 isn't complete, why not make 4 the default download?

It is the default on 1Password.com service because 1Password 6 is the only app that supports 1Password.com but the downloads page does mention 1Password 4 below the download link for people who wants the standalone version. 1Password 4 is the default on https://agilebits.com/downloads because that's the standalone version.

It is a mess but we will clean it up soon as a lot of things will be clear once we finish up 1Password 6 to be the single Windows client for everyone.

but I'm a little shocked that you make people install a Perl interpreter to do the import (!)

We do agree and we will change this soon. The 1Password.com web app is starting to gain native support for importing from Dashlane and we plan to add more, so that it is a single source for all 1Password apps to use, rather than building an importer tool manually for each platform and for each password manager, which eats up a lot of our resources. We don't want to embed a scripting engine into our apps. The reason we're suggesting the 1Password Utilities/Perl tool is because it supports converting from dozens of password managers, each with their own rules and convert them into the format that 1Password understands, plus it runs on multiple platforms. This is being handled by our amazing community moderator, @MrC, who has taken the challenge of producing a cross-platform tool and working with our community on each password manager they want to export from.
