1 Mac, 2 users

I have 2 users on my Mac, both me; one for work related stuff and the second one for personal. Can 1Password be set up so that all data entered in the vault is available from both users or will I really have to purchase 2 licences and enter some information twice? If there is away to allow me access to one 1Password account from either/both user accounts please give me very precise instructions - I'm not a techie by any stretch of the imagination.

    Welcome to the forums, cam!



    You will not need to purchase an additional license if you are the only user. There is only one of you, so we think you only need one license for 1Password for Mac. Feel free to install 1Password for Mac on as many Macs as you can afford. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />



    I would recommend [url="http://help.agile.ws/1Password3/configure_dropbox_on_mac.html"]using Dropbox to sync your 1Password data between the two OS X accounts[/url]. This will not only keep the data in sync simply and effectively, but will also give you the added benefit of automatic, secure offsite backup. If your Mac is lost or stolen, you will not be without your 1Password data. It will all be available via Dropbox.



    I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any trouble setting up Dropbox.



    Cheers,
