I am running 1password 6.8.2 on separate macbook pros. I do not want to use a cloud service to do this. I want to combine the entries between the two applications. Here is what I mean. I want to take the entries from the first macbook and place those entries in the 1password application on the second macbook. And I want to take the entries from the second macbook and place those entries in the application on the first macbook. Is that possible?
Cheers


1Password Version: 6.8.2

    Welcome to the forum, @noah_forums! What you're asking is certainly possible, but what I'm wondering is: how will you keep these two separate installations in sync afterwards? Once you complete such a process, you'll be left with two identical copies of your 1Password data, on two different Macs. That's great!...except as soon as you change the data in any way on either Mac (add a new item, change an existing one, like maybe change the password for an item on one, delete items, etc), those two copies will no longer be in sync. And the more time passes, the less identical these two datasets will be. Are you looking to keep them identical (i.e. - synced) over time, or do you just want to make them identical now, and you don't care about syncing for the future?

    At this time they can be manually sync'ed.

    @noah_forums -- OK, then in that case, you'll want to create a Folder Sync setup using a removable drive or USB flash drive. Make sure you make a backup of your data on each MacBook Pro, in case something goes wrong with merging two different vaults into one. Good luck!
