Where do I find my 1Password.agilekeychain folder on a Mac? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Hey @justigoo! 1PasswordAnywhere is actually on its way out of the 1Password apps. It's anywhere-availbility features have been implemented in 1Password for Teams instead. That doesn't mean you can't still use it, though. Are you syncing your data anywhere on your Mac at the moment? To use 1PasswordAnywhere, you need to set up syncing. One of these two methods will work:

Dropbox Sync

Folder Sync

Before you set them up, you can ensure that 1Password generates a vault in the Agile Keychain format. Just click the Help menu with the app open and hover over Tools. If you see that Enable OPVault for Dropbox and Folder sync is checked, click it to disable it. If it's not checked, just leave it. Then set up the sync method that you prefer following the guides linked to above.

Lastly, you'll need to add the 1PasswordAnywhere index.html file to your vault since it is no longer being created automatically. You can download the file over here. To add it to your Agile Keychain vault, navigate to the vault in Finder, right-click it, and click Show Package Contents, then move the index.html file into that folder.

And that's it! All you have to do to use 1PasswordAnywhere is double-click the index.html file and it will open in a browser. Let us know if you have any questions about it. :)

Hi @justigoo,

I'm terribly sorry for all the confusion! I know that can be frustrating. I can definitely help to make sense of it all!

It's actually much easier than it probably seems right now, but the thing that's causing a lot of confusion is that the instructions you found (i.e. the link in your first post) are for the Windows version of 1Password (and not even the latest version of 1Password for Windows, but a much older version).

The Mac and Windows versions of 1Password work much differently from each other, and one of those differences is in how they each store data. 1Password for Windows stores data directly in an Agile Keychain or OPVault file/folder which is located wherever you choose to store it. 1Password for Mac stores data in an SQLite database file in a specific location. So to answer your question, by default, there's no Agile Keychain to be found on your Mac. But it's easy to create one, which brings us to the next piece of the puzzle:

In order to create a .agilekeychain file in 1Password for Mac, you'll need to enable Dropbox Sync or Folder Sync. But starting in 1Password 6 for Mac, the default sync format has been changed to OPVault, which is why you need to disable that setting first. It sounds like you've already done that, so the next step is to set up one of those two sync options. When you do that, 1Password will copy the data from your vault into a new .agilekeychain file.

Once you have a .agilekeychain file, you'll need to follow penderworth's steps to download the 1Password.html file and put it inside the .agilekeychain.

I have a Dropbox account but got unstuck when I tried to sync my 1Password with Dropbox. 1Password was looking for something on my Mac but my Dropbox is online. ?

In order to use Dropbox sync, you'll need to install the Dropbox app on your Mac. That app syncs the files in your Dropbox account to/from a local Dropbox folder on your Mac (that's what 1Password is looking for when you try to set that up - our steps to set up Dropbox sync will help you with that). The way it works is that 1Password makes changes to the .agilekeychain file stored locally in the Dropbox folder on your Mac, and then the Dropbox app syncs it from there to your account on dropbox.com.

I think it'll just be simpler to manually copy/paste the data onto a USB.

That is certainly another option, but you don't need to manually copy the Agile Keychain to a USB drive. Instead, you can use Folder Sync to create the Agile Keychain there. However, using 1PasswordAnywhere from dropbox.com is much easier than using it from a USB drive - to make a long story short, if you try to use it from a USB drive, you'll probably run into problems with local file restrictions in the browser. In some cases it's possible to get around those restrictions, but you won't need to worry about any of that if you simply use Dropbox instead.

Again, I'm very sorry for the confusion! I really hope my information here is helpful, but if you have more questions or run into any problems trying to set this up, please don't hesitate to let us know. :)

Hi @justigoo ,

Sorry you are having trouble. When you say "it can't find Dropbox" what happens?

1. In the Sync Preferences, select the vault to sync, and choose Dropbox Sync in the popup menu. If it is not there, please let us know what it says.
2. If it gets past that part it should show a panel asking you to Choose a location. Click Choose, and if it doesn't automatically find Dropbox, look for "Dropbox" in the left sidebar. If it is not there, press Command-Shift-H to return to your Home Folder, and you should see Dropbox in the list there to choose.
3. Then open into the Dropbox folder. There you can either create a 1Password folder, or just create it in the Dropbox folder.

If you have any trouble with that, please let us know exactly what happened and what you expected to happen. It could be that your Dropbox folder is installed in another location, but I haven't seen that before. If that is the case, then it would explain why 1Password didn't find it, and we can certainly help you find it.

To answer your question on copies of passwords, when you generate a password, 1Password will automatically save it to an item with the type Password. When you save a website login it creates an item with type Login. The Password items are likely from when you generated a new password while on that site. We are currently looking at simplifying that. I can certainly understand why it is confusing.

I hope the above instructions work. If not, please reply and we'll do our best to help.

Cheers,
Kevin
