My husband and I use 1Password for Families. He can access his vault on his personal devices, but also needs to access it on a shared computer. The app on this computer recognizes me, but not his sign in. How do we change users in the app on the Mac?

1Password Version: 8.9.11
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 12.6.1
Browser:_ Safari

    Hi @Bronwen224466

    The best way to have more than one family member from the same 1Password Families account using 1Password on a single computer is to make a separate user account for them in macOS and have one family member signed in to each one. This avoids having to sign out of one family member and in to another, as well as any potential cross-contamination of one family member's items into another family member's vaults.

    This article from Apple Support shows how to set up another user account on your Mac:

    Hope that helps, but let me know if you need anything. :)
