WebDAV/FTP sync & multi keychain support

<div class="IPBDescription">Multikeychain support and /WebDAV Sync</div>Hello from Vienna!



First of all: Thank you for the great software 1Password. I use 1Password at work to store our server and application passwords in a safe way. It's really helpful, thank you for that!



I now want to integrate 1Password in our company as a password safe. There should be a way to give at least six people access to the keychain of 1Password.

It would be also fine to have a sync feature over WebDAV/(S)FTP. However I do not want to use Dropbox for that. I would prefer to store the keychain on our company webserver. I know that this way isn't supported in 1Password yet. Is it planned to integrate multiuser support over WebDAV,(S)FTP? Furthermore it would also be helpful to add multikeychain features (e.g. choose a keychain at the login window

of 1Password). I don't want to use other password managers like KeePassX. This would be a good feature.



Or is there maybe an easier way to get the keychain from a webserver?



Best regards,

Skaroth

Hi Skaroth,



Greetings from Leeds... oh wait that doesn't sound as awesome <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />



There's been a lot of discussion about multi-keychain support and syncing with in-house servers, using tools like WebDAV and we've certainly been thinking about how we can make 1Password more friendly to company setups.



I'm not sure that supporting multiple keychains via the unlock window is the way to go, we see 1Password as a one keychain per-user app, at least right now, and I personally feel that a 'Login' window would be messy. However, we are looking into some options for sharing items amongst different users easily, we don't have all the details of how we'll be able to implement this yet so we're not making any promises on a timeframe so that we can truly surprise you all with a great system.



As for storing the data file on your own server, this is technically possible already, but only on a Mac to Mac basis as our iOS apps require specific support for other syncing solutions which we don't have yet. You can take a look at some of our other sync solutions here:

Oh, and one final thing to note, if your concern about Dropbox syncing is around security, we understand this and our resident security guru has written a great document about the security of storing your 1Password data on the cloud:

Thanks for the great feedback, we're excited for the future of 1Password and we hope that that future includes making it a great tool for company use as well as for individuals looking to secure their passwords.
