2 Version of 1Password on my iMac and broken synch

Hi @AgileGraham,

So iCloud Syncing.

If you each have your own OS X user account then you can each use your own iCloud Drive space. The key part here though is you have to have your own OS X user accounts and then you have to each be logged into your own iCloud Drive account in System Preferences > iCloud. We can't alter this part and can only use the account that is logged in at the time. If both of you are logged into a single iCloud account that you share then you're correct, we can't handle this as Apple have designed it with a single person in mind.

Again, if you each have your own OS X user accounts I can reassure you that you can't do any damage to your wife's vault because from your account her profile shouldn't not be accessible at all. 1Password only looks in the current profile and doesn't go beyond a very small range of folders in there (specifically just the ones we've created).

What you could be in danger of doing though is making merging two vaults a bit messy if you have edits in both.

To better understand what we're dealing with lets take a look at both vaults.

1. Launch the MAS version, this is the one titled just 1Password.
2. Sort the Item List by Date Modified, it's the text below the search box and defaults to items sorted by Title.
3. Make a note of how many items in total in your vault and maybe take a screenshot using ⇧⌘3 to help a comparison. That screenshot will be saved to your Desktop.
4. Quit 1Password using the keyboard shortcut ⌃⌘Q.
5. Launch the AWS version, this is the one titled 1Password 5.
6. Repeat steps 2-4.

With the two screenshots and the number of items in each vault you will hopefully be able to gain an idea of roughly how many items have been accidentally updated in the AWS version when really you want them in the MAS one.

If you can report back with how many changes we're looking at we can discuss the best route forward. If it's just one or two you might think that you're happy to manually copy them over right there and then.

The goal is make sure you have a copy of everything in your MAS vault and then simply delete the 1Password 5 application so you only run the 1Password application going forward.

You can't corrupt the two, but the longer you use both the MAS and AWS in conjunction the more likely you would have conflicts in the data that you would have to manually resolve. This solution though is resolvable with no loss of data and as I said earlier, you can't damage your wife's vault when you're logged into your user account.

Let us know and we can proceed forward.
