Had to start over on mac, now how to sync 2 devices?

I had to start over because I forgot my master password. I did so on my Mac computer. Now I'm trying to sync the newly entered info to my iphone and ipad. I'm following the instructions here to try and sync to my iphone:

Step 2 says to "enter your master password". Umm, I don't know what that is. Thus the infuriating startover.



What the heck am I [i]really[/i] supposed to do?

    Just figured out the step missing in those instructions. On your iphone, you have to into 1Password's settings, tap Database, then tap Reset Database and follow the prompts. I hope the 1P tech writers will add that in. Pretty important little tidbit.

    Hello Caroline,



    I am sorry that you had to start over with 1Password on your Mac, but I am glad everything is working well now. I am sorry for the confusion here, but your master password does not have to be the same between 1Password for Mac/Windows and your 1Password iOS app(s). Many users like to have a less-complicated one for 1Password iOS apps because of the interaction using the much smaller virtual keyboard. Because they do not have to be the same, they are never synced from one device/platform to another.



    I hope that helps. Please let me know. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />
