Share a vault
Before you can share a vault with anyone, you’ll need to upgrade to 1Password Families.
Then you can choose to share vaults you’ve created by inviting your family. You can also share a vault with existing family members.
To share a vault:
- Click Vaults in the sidebar, then click the name of the vault you want to share.
- Click Share Vault, then enter the email address of a family member you want to invite.
If you want to share with an existing family member, enter their name.
- Select the email address of your family member in the dropdown menu.
If you want to share with an existing family member, select their name in the dropdown menu.
- Repeat the previous steps for each person you want to share the vault with, then click Save.
After you’ve shared the vault, any new family members must accept their invitations and be confirmed before they can access it. Existing family members can view and edit items in the vault immediately.
Manage access
Everyone with access to a vault can view, print, and copy the items in it. When you first share a vault with someone, they can also create, edit, archive, and delete the items in it.
If you allow someone to manage a vault, they can change the vault’s name and description, or delete the vault.
To change someone’s access to a vault, click to the right of their name.
