The obvious problem is typing password incorrectly, but I’m quite sure that I am.


1Password Version: 7.9.5
Extension Version: 2.2.3
OS Version: macOS 11.6.2

Hi @thesm:

I'm sorry you're running into trouble unlocking 1Password on your laptop. Do you perhaps have a local Primary vault on that device?

1Password unlocks 7 following this order of rules:

  • If a Primary vault exists, then it unlocks using the Master Password for that vault, regardless of what, if any, memberships are signed in
  • If a single 1Password membership is signed in, then it unlocks using the Master Password for that membership account
  • If multiple memberships are signed in, then it unlocks using the Master Password of the first added membership

If you have added a Primary vault to your laptop, but not your iPhone or iPad, this would possibly explain why you're running into trouble. Let me know, and I can investigate further with you!

Thanks- I’ll check on Primary Vaults, but I haven’t set up any.

Let us know if you find any Primary vaults and we can take it from there. I look forward to hearing from you. 😊
