Sharing vault with another, existing 1Password user
I have a family account that I share with my wife and two kids. I convinced my sister to buy her own account, and she has a personal account. My sister and I need to share a vault that contains inf...
That is correct, they would become a guest member of the family and would have an account there in addition to their own. So in essence the would have two accounts, their own and the guest under your family. Each will have a different Secret Key but they could share the same password to allow for ease of use.
This is really annoying and confusing.
I've been using 1P for the past few years and really love it and have begun convincing family members to also create accounts. I'm now telling each of them that they have to create multiple 1P accounts for each vault I want to share (on top of their own account), which is not only unintuitive but also goes against the point of 1P, since now they have to manage multiple 1P accounts instead of having all their passwords and logins are under one—ahem—password.
Is there a plan to change this?
Once you are logged in you can view all vaults and accounts. 1Password works a lot like discord. It is not as disjointed as it may sound. You can view individual accounts or all Accounts. There is not any more work once set up. However I hated discord for its unintuitive layout so there is that. But I am not needing to log in to multiple accounts all the time, barely ever. The accounts link very nicely.
The more I think about it the more sense their approach makes. One thing you can do very easily is drag items from one vault in one account to another vault in another account, or copy. Although copying does lead to the issue of what one updates if you change a password.
