Thanks ag_mike_d. That helped. I have now moved all items from the 1Password vault to my Personal vault. Going to leave the archived items alone for now until years later I find I no longer need them.
The user experience of moving to a 1Password account was a little confusing to say the least because I was prompted to migrate on several devices despite performing what I thought was migration of my Dropbox vault to the 1Password cloud when I first subscribed on a Windows PC. I was asked this question after configuring my iPad, Macbook Pro and Android phone. I paused each time considering what 1Password was attempting to do and why it would ask me again when I thought I had already migrated.
With your clarification, I assumed it was asking if I wanted to migrate this 1Password vault to my Personal vault. The concepts were new to me at that point in time so each time I thought, "I already migrated" so said no to each prompt.
It might make more sense to do one of the following when someone converts to a 1Password account.
- Move all their current vault items to the "Personal" vault by default or;
- Each prompt from each device the user has, explain that 1Password accounts use the "Personal" vault by default and as such, it is recommended we migrate to the "Personal" vault as that has not been done.
I am not sure why on first attempt, I did not migrate to the Personal vault. I saw an action where my Dropbox vault was being copied to the 1Password account vault so assumed that was the migration.
