1Password TeamHi extensioncord:
Great question! 1Password 8 will unlock each account that shares the account password you've used to unlock the app. For example:
- Account 1 with a password of
Molly&Patty2 - Account 2 with a password of
Molly&Patty2 - Account 3 with a password of
Sally4th - Account 4 with a password of
Sally4th
Using Molly&Patty2 to unlock the app will result in accounts 1 and 2 being unlocked, with 3 and 4 staying locked. Using Touch ID or Apple Watch unlock will unlock all accounts that have been previously unlocked with the account password. Unlocking accounts 1,2,3, and 4 using Touch ID or Apple Watch unlock would require entering both account passwords at least once.
Generally speaking we'd recommend using the same account password across any 1Password accounts you may have.
