Questions after upgrading to 1Password 7 from 1Password 5

Hi @organleroy:

Thanks for asking, and I'd be happy to help explain the differences! Thanks for your detailed screenshots as well.

If you've created a new 1Password membership, the vaults under the "Our Family" heading in 1Password 7 would be your vaults contained in your 1Password account. The items under the "On My Mac" heading would be standalone vaults. It sounds like 1Password may have ran into some trouble when migrating your Lucy vault into your 1Password account.

Ideally, everything would be under the Our Family heading, and then you can remove the standalone vaults, but since it seems like your Lucy vault may have not migrated properly, manually moving the items from your On My Mac > Lucy vault to Our Family > Lucy would get you up and running: Move and copy items

After adding the Lucy vault to your 1Password account, you can share that vault with your wife, and then she can either continue to use it as a vault shared with you, or move those items into her Private vault, only accessible to her.

Last question for this round: how does the Sync function (in 1Password7 > Preferences) work?

With a 1Password membership, there's no need to select a sync option. Your items are available on any 1Password app signed into your 1Password account, without needing a third party sync service or selecting a sync folder. After removing all standalone vaults, the Sync preferences tab will disappear from 1Password 7 for Mac.
