Multiple Windows in 1Password

Is it possible to open more than one window in 1Password? I'm trying to convert MANY secure notes previously imported from Password Plus into their appropriate file types in 1Password. It would be more efficient, however, if I could open the new item in a separate window so I could simultaneously view the old item (and not lose my space in the list). I see in the Window menu bar there is a "bring all to front" option (which makes me think having multiple windows open is possible), but I don't see how to get more than one open.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance.

    HI Darrell,

    No, 1Password only supports a single window. What you could use, possibly, would be 1PasswordAnywhere, a secure web application built right into your data file that gives you read-only access to your information when you're away from 1Password, or in this case want to view two sets of items at once. You can read more about 1PasswordAnywhere in this section of our user guide:

    You can also see it in action on our YouTube channel here:

    I hope that helps,

    Thanks for the quick reply Stu. I didn't know about 1PasswordAnywhere. I
    just checked it out (in Safari on my iPad). This is a nice feature. It
    would be really cool if I could open the html file from the dropbox app on
    my iPad (opening into Safari of course). I'm guessing the Apple lockdown
    prevents this additional feature.

    I thought your idea would provide a work-around but I noticed there's no
    "all folders" view on the html version. This is the view I find most
    efficient when "cleaning up" my items in the 1Password app on the Mac
    since some of my items might be, for example, a log-in (from a recent
    browser add) AND a secure note (from the previous import). The "all" view
    helps to catch such duplicates in the alphabetical list and consolidate
    appropriately. I hope my explanation makes sense.

    Am I missing the "all view" in the html version? Is this view available
    in the iPad app version? (although I'm really not trying to pay another
    $14 on top of what I've paid the Mac appŠI also have the Android app on my
    phone).

    HI Darrell,

    There isn't an 'All' view in either 1PasswordAnywhere or 1Password for iOS, though I know we're hoping to add this to the latter.

    You're right about the Safari + Dropbox iOS app limitation though, there's no way the Dropbox app could pass on your logged in state to mobile Safari.
