Share Vaults across accounts [Feature request]
I have a family account that I share with my wife and two kids. My sister (let's caller Alice) has a personal account. I have a friend (let's call him Bob) who has a personal account. Let's call m...
Hello jupiters_spot! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! Have you considered inviting Alice and Bob as guests (not family members) to your 1Password Families membership? Guests are given access to a single shared vault and they can continue to use their own 1Password accounts for their own logins and other items. You can read more about guest accounts here:
That being said, I can see how it would be useful to be able to just share a vault with another person, who already has their own 1Password account, without having to invite them as a family member or guest. I've passed along your feedback and request to our product team who will consider adding such a capability in the future.-Dave

I had an additional thought that might clarify the ask. A given person who already has a 1Password paid account can very reasonably want several other parties to share a vault with them and continue to use a single 1Password account. I could have a family account and with my single 1Password account want access to vaults:
- owned by the Boy Scout Troop where I'm a scout master
- owned by my parents where they share details that help me care for them
- owned by my buddy who runs a squash match invitation registration process
- owned by my church where access to email lists of congregants are managed
- etc.
Having to switch accounts each time I want to see another Vault's credential would be tedious, and I dare say, contrary to the idea of having "one password".
