I may have misspoken and been referring to secure attachments - I'll check. (This is on my iPhone).

I'm sure I've been in situations where I am trying to download a travel permit for example at a check in desk overseas and there is no signal.

I'll see if passwords are the same - maybe those are indeed kept locally.

Perhaps you are correct, I think the situation might be this:

1. Add a new 1Password item on device 1

2. Do _not_ open the 1Password app on device 2

3. At some point/the next day or whatever, device 2 goes offline

4. Now, while offline, you do not have access to the new item on device 2 because data wasn't synced because the 1Password app hasn't been opened after #1.

The problem seems, 1Password doesn't sync the data in the background (iCloud in my case.)

However, if you did sync by manually opening the app while online, all data will also be available offline later (including attachments.)

Interesting and sounds very plausible. Typically, for example, I'll add a travel doc for a trip on my desktop and then try to open it in a different location (often country) on my phone for the first time.

Maybe worth me submitting a feature request that facilitates making checked items available offline (like I think Dropbox/Google Docs iOS apps support).

I just saw this has been requested/discussed already on the 1Password forums:

Looks hopeful - thanks for the heads up.
