Questions after upgrading to 1Password 7 from 1Password 5
After the latest Chrome update broke 1Password 5's ability to use the classic browser extension, I decided to buy a Family subscription plan, download 1Password 7 from 1Password.com, and migrate my data.
The migration is complete. Now I need some help understanding how 1Password 7 organizes vaults, and the difference between the categories "OUR FAMILY" and "ON MY MAC."
I'm attaching a side-by-side comparison of how the app sidebar appears in 1Password 5 and 1Password 7.
In my v.5 setup, I had two vaults: "Primary" and "Lucy" (the 2nd is the vault my wife uses).
After the migration, v.7 has two vault categories: OUR FAMILY and ON MY MAC. All my data that was previously in the v.5 vault "Primary" now, in v.7, appears in both the vaults "Private" (under OUR FAMILY) and "Primary" (under ON MY MAC). All the data that was previously in the v.5 vault "Lucy" now, in v.7, only appears in the vault "Lucy" (under ON MY MAC). The vault "Lucy" (under OUR FAMILY) is empty.
So: what is the difference between the categories "OUR FAMILY" and "ON MY MAC"? My wife and I use 1Password across multiple devices; which set of vaults should we use?
The migration instructions at https://support.1password.com/migrate-1password-account/ say that I should "delete the old Primary vault." Is this referring to the vault labeled "Primary" under ON MY MAC? The 1Password app will not let me edit or delete that vault.
Last question for this round: how does the Sync function (in 1Password7 > Preferences) work? The preferences dialogue box offers to separately sync the vaults "Primary" and "Lucy" with iCloud, Dropbox, or a folder. When I used 1Password 5, the app stored the data for both our vaults in one file on Dropbox. How does it work now?
Thanks in advance for help. I'm sure there will be more questions after these.
