![]() When multiple vaults came to the Mac version, it was promoted as a feature that could allow multiple users to manage their identities separately (or one person to manage home and work identities). Unfortunately, this may be a bit of a setback in certain use cases. Switching between vaults is accomplished through the app’s settings page, which means you’ll need to login to the primary vault before you can switch. Thankfully, Dropbox syncing setup is fast and easy on both the Mac and iOS versions of the app. Only one vault at a time can sync through iCloud, so the rest will need to use Dropbox to stay up-to-date. Just like the Mac version, you can now store your passwords and other data in separate vaults on the iPhone and iPad. Perhaps the biggest addition in this release-though not one most people will need-is support for multiple vaults and shared vaults. Also along for the ride is a set of new features that help complete parity with the Mac version and embrace newer iOS capabilities. You can find a gallery of the new design below, but the new design isn’t the only thing you’ll find in 1Password 4.5. You’ll still find the layout familiar, though some tweaks have been made to a few areas. With this update, the entire app has once again been redesigned completely, this time for compliance with iOS 7’s new look. Today the app has been updated to version 4.5, which brings the biggest update to the app’s design since the 4.0 release. Now they’ll stay in sync.1Password 4 launched last year to much fanfare as a major redesign of the most powerful password management software available. Then finally, you have all your 1Password information easily available on your mobile device too: Once you get this prompt tap on “Allow” to proceed.īy default it uses the same naming scheme as the 1Password on the Mac system, so it should be prompting for you to choose the correct one.Īll you care about here is the “Syncing…” prompt. If you don’t get here, just flip over to Dropbox and log in, then try 1Password again. Assuming that’s the case, you’ll just go straight to a request for access: Tap on “Sync existing vault” and you’ll have some options:Īt this point you’ll want to already have Dropbox installed on your iOS device and logged in. Time to switch to the iPhone or iPad. Launch 1Password for iOS and sicne it’s the first time you’ve launched it, you’ll see something like this: That all looks good, and the most important thing is that it has successfully sync’d and created the data files. To start, go into the 1Password program on your Mac system and go to “Sync” under Preferences to choose Dropbox: ![]() And even then, well, I have all of that and I still can’t get iCloud sync to work.įortunately 1Password works pretty darn easily with Dropbox so it’s an easy alternative solution and since it stores the data encrypted, it’s just as safe as iCloud (at least, I hope so!). Turns out that’s because you can’t use iCloud sync unless you’re running Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10) and iOS 8 and the very latest versions of the app for both platforms too. ![]() By coincidence I’ve been experimenting with various sync options on 1Password, my favorite password storage and management program for the Mac platform, and had the same problems with iCloud sync too.
