1pw asking for OLD version of master password.
About three weeks ago I changed my master password at my.1password.com but 1pw for mac beta has not been recognising it, instead only unlocking when I type in the previous master password. I ignored ...
Hi @fursday!
The updated master password works fine on the web (where I changed it) and on my other devices (two iPhones). It's as if 1pw for mac hadn't got the message.
In your 1Password for Mac app, do you perhaps also have a vault called Primary? The way 1Password unlocks is:
- 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
So I wonder if the old password is actually coming from this additional Primary vault.
