    Hi @rjones07,

    When it comes to issues like these it's remarkably hard for any form of diagnosis. It's frustrating for both you as somebody experiencing issues and for us as we're here to help.

    We have a support page titled My Master Password is not being accepted. What should I do? Does anything on that page help? Something else to consider is if you've changed your Master Password at all recently. If you have does the old one work at all?

    Hopefully something there can help. What I will say is that as long as the Master Password works on your iPhone then there is hope and if need be we can try resetting the iCloud sync container, have the iOS device create a new one and set up a fresh copy of 1Password for Mac using it. Let us know if anything in that document helps though before we go through the steps of resetting things on the Mac side.

    Hi @rjones07,

    It's a bit severe but the following should work for you then if nothing in the My Master Password is not being accepted. What should I do? guide helped.

    1. On your Mac follow the How do I start over with an empty vault? guide. Don't launch 1Password just yet after rebooting the Mac.
    2. Turning your attention to your iOS device, launch 1Password for iOS.
    3. Navigate to Settings > Advanced and tap the option at the bottom, Erase iCloud Data.
    4. Return to the main Settings menu and set up iCloud Sync once again, our Sync with iCloud should help if you don't remember.
    5. Once it has completed, back on your Mac you should be able to follow our Sync existing iCloud data guide.

    Those steps should ensure the sync container in iCloud Drive is an exact copy of the vault on your iOS device and then have a clean copy of 1Password for Mac pull it down from iCloud. Hopefully that resolves everything so please let us know how you get along.

    Hi @rjones07,

    On behalf of littlebobbytables, you're most welcome. Thanks for following up to let us know that his instructions worked for you and you've got 1Password syncing now between your Mac and iPhone. That's good news. :)

    Hopefully it will all work perfectly for you from now on, but we'll be here to help if you should need anything else!
