New "Share" functionality: explain to me how it works (and how it's better as it seems MUCH worse)

Hello celos! 👋

The new secure item sharing feature allows you to share items while keeping them protected with 1Password's end-to-end encryption. The drawback of the previous method was that it sent your items in plain text and unencrypted.

If you and your wife are both members of the same 1Password Families account then the best way to share items between family members is through a shared vault. Was there a reason why you don't want to use a shared vault? You can read more about shared vaults here: Share passwords with your family

If you don't want to use a shared vault then you can certainly use secure item sharing and your wife will be able to add the item to her account. When your wife opens a share link sent to her by you then she should see a Save in 1Password button beneath the item. It will look like this:

If she doesn't see this then please make sure that she has 1Password in the browser installed: Get started with 1Password in your browser

Let me know if that helps. :)
