1password Offline Vault

[Magnhild Mongolo]

Iuse three vaults. The first is a "Mobile" vault which all my 1P devices have access to. The second is an "Archive," stored only on my desktop for reference but not part of most searches. The third is "Private," also desktop-only and contains the most-sensitive info. So for security's sake, I only have one vault in the cloud and effectively, my mobile devices are in permanent Travel mode though my desktop has full-time access to all vaults. I do regular backups, and I accept having limited access to my non-Mobile vaults and thus having to do "sensitive" vault usage only from home. Can I recreate this setup in 1P8? I was immediately apprehensive about seeing all my vaults on my phone once I upgraded, but the 1P7 crashes make me not want to go back there.

Thanks for message and reply. 1Password 8 does not have the option view local vaults and is based solely on a 1Password membership, as @DenalB mentioned. I wanted provide a link to a thread that discusses the topic of local vaults.

Since it sounds like you are using a combination of a 1Password account and local storage, I'd suggest contacting Customer Support via email message addressed to suppor...@1password.com if you need help migrating any of your data.

We have discovered a flaw in 1Password, the issue seems to be that a user can copy the contents of the 1Password app data folder in windows and paste it on another machine and effectively have access to all the vault (with the master password).

A user could then access all the vaults offline without knowing the secret key neither is it going to go back to the 1Password servers to validate if the user still has access or if the key/vault is still valid.

This was an intentional design decision, which was necessary in order to have offline access. There are a few threads on this forum discussing the cache and its role... I think the most recent one that I participated in is this one, here:

_524218

I logged into my vault online and this item was in my Recently Deleted folder. I clicked "Destroy" and refreshed the online vault and the desktop app, but the sync problem is still happening. (Edit: I logged into my online vault again and the destroyed item is back in the Recently Deleted folder.)

Thank you for reporting the issue! The offline items indicator is a new feature that our developers have built to alert you to items that aren't being backed up to your 1Password account. You would have had those offline items before but there wasn't a way to expose that you had them before this feature.

In my case, the single 1Password item with this issue was deleted from my vault a long time ago and therefore it hadn't been changed. Now it shows up only in the 1P Mac desktop app, not on other devices (which are all updated to current versions).

@Dave_1P Hi - having a similar issue affecting 3 "offline" items. They are all documents that have previously been archived. When I click on each one or right-click, there is no option to restore or delete. These items are not showing on iOS.

I'm having the same or very similar issue. I have 2 items in the Offline Items folder. Everything is greyed out. The only option in the item itself is to share. There's no option to reveal passwords except that that holding ctrl+alt still works. When right clicking on the the item in the list I can Edit;Open Item in New Window (which also has nothing actionable in the UI);Move;Duplicate;Copy Private Link.

These 2 items are identical and old. Seems like something that would have been deleted or updated in the past, although there's nothing indicating that they've been deleted. They always fail to sync but nothing saying why. There's no way to delete or remove them.

Actually, they did show up in the Recently Deleted folder on my computer (but not online). There were 3 copies there. I removed all 3 using delete permanently. They are gone from the Recently Deleted folder but still in the Offline Items folder.

I'm not seeing an email from you yet. Did you send the diagnostics report using a different email address from the one that you use for your forum account? (Don't post your email address here since it's a public forum.)

I was also having this issue with two items. I tried the suggestion from @RebeccaL with restoring the items in the online vault in the browser, and then deleted the items from the desktop app, which seems to have solved the issue for me as well at the moment.

It seems like this issue is hitting quite a few people - I'm also hitting it with 9 of my items. I would also like to get a resolution for the circles that I'm going in between the MacOS app and the Chrome extension. The Chrome extension says "Continue Signing In", which just leads me to my signed-in 1Password MacOS app and I get a notification saying some changes can't be synced to other accounts. Both my extension and mac app are updated. I even tried to do a fresh install of 1Password on my mac.

I find it quite frustrating that this support thread ends up just being private support emails for people but no actual resolution without signing up for a forum account, and now re-doing all of the steps above to send in diagnostics. It would be great if 1Password was more transparent in these forums about the fixes for issues so people can self-troubleshoot.

Thank you for the feedback. Currently, the offline items message can be caused by a variety of different issues and sending in a diagnostics report to the team is the best option. The diagnostics report allows our support team to identify the specific cause, and to provide a tailored solution, for your situation. We'll work to improve the situation in the future.

i received an email reply to ^this^ submitted report from (apparently) "a colleague of yours", referring to completely the wrong issue.

don't know how it works 'over there' -- are you able to check/redirect to the right person(s), or at least get them to reply to the right issue?

One offline item. It is an out-of-date copy of an item. Offline item is showing in the wrong/previous vault (my private vault). The current/correct item is available from the correct vault (a shared vault). Error in the desktop UI is "Offline item: Permission error"

My own self hosted bitwarden instance went offline for awhile recently and I was totally unable to login to my vault or access any of my passwords, either on mobile, firefox plugin, or desktop (linux) app. This is really concerning because the #1 time when I need access to my passwords is when my self-hosted servers are going offline.

As many others have mentioned in this three-year-old thread, many users perform maintenance to equipment while offline (or connected to VPN with no external network allowed) and must have login/read/write access to their vault.

I read near the start of this thread a Bitwarden employee mentioning how difficult it is to implement offline edit/resync. I can appreciate that, but I also know lots of other tools that must, do, and have implemented synchronization of offline edits with the online copy.

FYI I am in the exact same position.

I ended up sticking with keepass with a file replicated on a per customer basis over VPN for work purpose.

Ironically I was looking forward to support birwarden financially by promoting its use for our company but ended up having to stay with our old keepass.

This is a phenomenally horrible situation. Lost WAN overnight. PC was sleeping at the time and for some reason had logged out of BW. Could not get back into bitwarden to access a number of router/service passwords to troubleshoot network issues. Had NO idea that offline login was impossible if for whatever reason your device is logged off. This is truly making us have to rethink our whole choice to migrate to BW and we are re-opening our selection process.

In the case of an offline situation, imagine 5 persons do a password reset and update their offline version of the vault. Now, 5 instances of the same login appear when these people leave their no-internet locations.Given all the powerful group policy features of bitwarden, offline sync can quickly become really difficult.

Dashlane is an impressive password manager that goes beyond basic password management. With advanced features like offline access, a VPN, and live dark web monitoring, it provides a comprehensive security solution. Plus, all paid plans come with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.

I like how RoboForm offers the option of local-only storage, unlike most other password managers which require server synchronization. During my tests, I was able to use RoboForm offline, access my vault, and even make changes to my logins.

RoboForm is a cost-effective password manager with superior form-filling capabilities. Its offline mode, bookmark storage, and password sharing are really good. All RoboForm purchases come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The secure messaging app is my favorite Keeper feature. It uses end-to-end 256-bit AES encryption to protect all messages, ensuring complete privacy. I also like how it provides the ability to retract sent messages or set a self-destruct timer on them.

Additionally, importing passwords into Keeper proved to be exceptionally simple and convenient. The automatic import tool searches for all the accounts stored in your web browser and automatically adds them to Keeper. Keeper can also import passwords directly from LastPass, and while you have to use a CSV file for most other password managers, Keeper has very clear instructions on how to do this.

Keeper offers a free version with basic features, but its paid plans offer much more. The Keeper Unlimited plan, priced at PLN11.49 / month, offers unlimited password storage, secure record sharing, and access to the secure messaging app, among other features. The Keeper Family plan, which costs PLN24.59 / month, adds up to 5 licenses and 10 GB of secure file storage.

Sticky Password has all the basic password management features and adds some unique extras, like local Wi-Fi sync and a portable version of the program. Sticky Password also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all plans.
