Can't change Master Password or get into iCloud
I am EXTREMELY frustrated by 1Password, though I'm a longtime user. I’ve spent the last several hours unsuccessfully trying to do the following;
1) I want to change the Master Password on my iPhon...
"Master Password" is not a master password for all apps/devices, it is a Master Password only for a specific instance of 1Password.
Depending on how you configured that 1Password app, this could be true. It typically isn't, but more complicated setups could indeed behave like this.
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
These are each exclusive scenarios. For example, if multiple memberships are signed in, you cannot unlock 1Password using the Master Password of the second account that was added.
When does syncing take place? I know it's complicated, but an overview is needed.
Syncing takes place after every change, such as everytime you make a change to any item, add an item, delete an item, but also when you switch vaults and unlock the application.
