Well if the 2 of you are going to share a data file (1password.agilekeychain) then you will need the same password.



If you are going to have a separate data file (1password.agilekeychain) then just start the app and when prompted for a data file select new and then start a new data file with a MP she can remember. But make it not to easy a group or regulars here once compared and the avg. length was between 12 and 15 characters. Most use mnemonics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic or variants adding things like special characters and capitalizations here and there etc.



I think I hear more questions coming, if so please do not hesitate to ask.
