<div class="IPBDescription">Syncing & Drop Box</div>Though 1Password has been on my computer, I've never used it. So I upgraded to Password 3 and tried to sync with my new iPad. THEN I learned I had to buy 1Password for iPad, so I did. It's there! But when I open it, it says to type in secret answers- WHERE? I've searched 1Password on my computer numerous times, but can find no "sync" button- or place to fill in these passwords! Am I BLIND???



From what I'm reading in forums, syncing works better with Drop Box? so I need to buy Drop Box for my computer, then the app for the iPad?



I don't have an iPhone- AT&T doesn't work well here in Humboldt County, so I have MiFi through Verizon. Just MacBookPro and iPad. Is drop box still advised or will 1Password do all the syncing I need?

    [size="2"]Hi, Cara, and welcome to the forums![/size]



    [size="2"]We have a troubleshooting guide for Wi-Fi syncing, but if you can sync with Dropbox, that's even better. It is [b]definitely[/b] still recommended (as long as you have Wi-Fi access for your iPad). The best thing about it? It's completely free (for 2 GB, which is plenty of space for 1Password's data and much more). You don't even have to download it to your iPad, just your Mac. The best thing I can do for you is link you to [url="http://help.agile.ws/1Password_iPad/cloud_syncing_with_dropbox.html"]our step by step tutorial for setting up Dropbox sync[/url]. The guide uses screenshots from the iPhone to save space, but the steps on the iPad are the same.[/size]



    [size="2"]Hope that helps![/size]
