Question

Two accounts - now needs two different passwords every time you login?

With the old version, I was able to have a personal account and a business account. Once I connected them, I only had to use my personal password going forward. Now it looks like I have to enter a password for each account every time I restart my computer?

Is there an option to go back to how it used to deal with accounts? Or am I missing somenting?

@jpgoldberg What about the idea of device specific PIN codes or passwords?

There's got to be some kind of actual solution to this other than your (admittedly) clunky somewhat non-solution. And I don't think it is necessarily your place to say what an individual account can be used for. Shouldn't that be up to the individuals?

What about the idea of a device specific PIN to unlock all of your vaults regardless of their passwords?

I posted two straight questions regarding two accounts with different master passwords and got a quick reply that referred me to this thread. The answer didn't help me as the thread is too long and with too many issues so, I'm sorry, I need to request your help in answering the following and I will really be grateful if someone can help.

I have a family account with 4 sub-accounts. Two of those sub-accounts are mine (private) and I want to access both but with different master passwords.

a) can i use both with this type (family account)?

b) I tried and when I want to switch to the other account it is asking for the Secret Key. Will I need it every time I switch accounts? Is there a way to bypass if this (request secret key) is true?

PS: I'm using version 8 of 1password.

Thanks

At present the quickest way to access multiple accounts that have different account passwords would be through Windows Hello (Windows) or Touch ID (Mac). Similar options are also available for Linux.

Ben, thank you very much for your reply. Too bad it is so difficult to have it what will keep me using LastPass and dropping 1Password that is far better than LastPass. I hope 1password is able to implement something in the very near future so that I can go back to use it.
Again, thanks for the prompt support and sorry for not being able to continue to use 1pass. Ah, the simple availability of independent vaults passwords would also cover the problem if we could keep alternate vaults open or close to access depending on the need.
Cheers

Sure you will... 1pass is vastly superior in everything else. Thanks again for the reply and I will keep an eye to when the functionality is available.
Happy New Year to you all

Not gonna lie, this creates some serious cognitive dissonance for me. I do understand the reasoning with the private key but I'm still not comfortable with my corporate vault having the same master pwd as my personal.

I agree with not wanting all my employees to have access to my personal information, including investments and credit cards, for a workaround of using the same password (that seems like defeating the purpose of protection). My business has been using 1Password for years, and ever since the beta, I have started looking at other options. I would not complain if I did not love your product. Why break something that was not broken? Here is a great idea; give the user the capability to turn this option on or off as a preference item. Best of both worlds - happy customers around.
