Keeping all vaults in sync

@Steve_H Syncing with 1password.com vaults is automatic. All instances of 1Password where you're signed into your account should have the same data in each vault as other devices signed into the same account.

They will NOT have the same data as one another - in other words, your Private vault will not sync with the other person's Private vault, because these are two different data-sets, decrypted by two different encryption keys. The Shared vault can be accessed by either of you, but it too will not "sync" with either of your Private vaults because it is a separate vault.

The Private vault isn’t optional — it cannot be removed. But you can change the All Vaults view so that it doesn’t appear, and items are saved to the Shared vault by default. Just be aware anyone you invite to your 1Password Families account will by default have access to the Shared vault.

How exactly to accomplish the above depends on which device you’re using but for example on iOS (iPhone/iPad/etc) the options are under 1Password > Settings > Vaults > All Vaults.

Thanks.

@Steve_H if the entries in your Private vault are items that a) you want to keep and b) are not also in the Shared vault yet, then you'll need to use these instructions to transfer them over from Private to Shared. Of course, if the items in Private are unnecessary, then yes -- feel free to delete them.

@Steve_H Always a good idea, especially when you're new to something. Let us know if there's anything else we can do for you. :)
