How can we share a computer and 1Password and have separate 1Password logins?

Options

We have a computer in our office that is shared by a couple of employees. We are signed up as Teams and I have one of the employees with a 1Password on the computer, but how do we set up another vault(?) so that another employee can open 1Password without accessing the other employees logins? How can the 1Password app work for 2 separate master keys?


1Password Version: 6.3
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: OS X El Capitan
Sync Type: dropbox

    Hi @MarieTrejo,

    At this time, the best solution is to set up separate user accounts on the Mac. This will allow each user to set up 1Password with their own data.

    We’re looking into other solutions for shared computers in the future, and I’ll let our developers know that this is something you would be interested in!

    @MarieTrejo You can create a new user on your Mac by following these steps:

    1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    2. Click the lock icon to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password.
    3. Click Add below the list of users.
    4. Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.

    You might also want to check out Apple's support article on users just in case you have any other questions about it. Don't worry that it says Yosemite at the top; the steps work in El Capitan as well :)
