Local Windows Storag

<div class="IPBDescription">Password Back Up</div>I have the app on my iPhone. I am also a Windows user. I know I may be archaic, but I do not want to back up with drop box. I don't want my data stored on a server anywhere, or access to it through any other means. I only want local back up on my Windows based laptop. Can I synch my iPhone for this storage? If so, then how? Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the forum, cmack97!



Dropbox is the only sync mechanism available in 1Password for Windows. You can read all about it in the following documents.

That said, you can [i]back up[/i] your 1Password data from your iPhone to a PC or Mac, using the "backup and restore" feature built into the 1Password app for iOS devices.



The [b]Backup & Restore[/b] command in 1Password on your iPhone opens a temporary "portal" through which you can use a web browser to copy the 1Password data from your iPhone to your Mac or PC; you also use the same [b]Backup & Restore[/b] command to restore that data from your Mac or PC to your iPhone.





[b]To back up your 1Password data from your iPhone:[/b]



[list=1]

[*]On your iPhone, launch and unlock the 1Password app, and tap [b]More[/b] > [b]Settings[/b] > [b]Database[/b] > [b]Backup & Restore[/b].



You should see a page titled "Backup Service Started".



[*]On your Mac or PC, launch a web browser, and go to either of the URLs listed on the iPhone screen.



[*]Click the link to the [i].1ptbackup[/i] file, and follow the instructions to save the file.



Be sure to note the location where you save it.
