# Sync to Palm

## Introduction

If you have a Palm handheld or Palm-based Treo smartphone (such as the Treo 600, Treo 650, Treo 700p, Treo 755p or Palm Centro) then you can carry most of your 1Password information with you in an encrypted Palm database. Our 1Password application for Palm will list and search your passwords, wallet items and secure notes. The current version of 1Password for Palm is a read-only program and does not support adding or modifying information on Palm.

## Requirements

To use 1Password for Palm you’ll need the following:

1. A Palm or Treo device with Palm OS 4.0 or higher.
2. 120K memory for the application plus additional space for the encrypted database.
3. The encrypted database requires approximately 500 bytes per item. For example, 1000 items require approximately 500KB.

## Syncing Your Data

To send your data to your Palm device, click File > Export All > Export to Palm from the menubar. You will see the Sync to Palm window.

1. Select the handheld and location on the handheld in the drop-down menus.
2. Enter the Access Code which will be used to encrypt your information. You will be asked to enter the same Access Code on the Palm device later. The Access Code is chosen by you. You can use your current Master Password as the Access Code, or choose other secret text that may be easier to enter on your Palm. We recommend that the Access Code be at least eight characters long to better protect your data.
3. Click the Sync Now button to generate the encrypted 1Password Palm database and application.
4. Use HotSync to sync your Palm device.

## Using 1Password for Palm

HotSync will install the 1Password Palm database and application on your Palm device. See the 1Password for Palm tutorial for more information about using the application.

## Troubleshooting

I do not see any handhelds displayed in the window. 1Password determines the list of handhelds by looking in the Documents/Palm/Users folder in your home folder. This folder is created when you first sync your handheld using HotSync available in the Palm Desktop for Mac or Missing Sync for Palm OS programs. You will need to install one of these programs and HotSync your handheld at least once.

Alternatively you can click on the disclosure triangle beside Folder: and choose any folder on your Mac. After the sync is complete, copy the 1Password.pdb and 1Password.prc files from the folder you selected onto an SD memory card and you can use them on your handheld without HotSync.
