# What’s the difference between Accounts and Wallet?

The Wallet is a place for storing personal information that you likely would could carry on your person, whether in a wallet or purse. It includes templates for things like credit cards, bank accounts, driver’s licenses, passports, social security numbers, etc.

On the other hand, the Accounts vault is mostly aimed at storing information related to digital accounts that aren’t necessarily website logins, such as iTunes, FTP accounts, Wi-Fi routers, Instant Messenger accounts, etc. Note that though 1Password can store this information for your retrieval, it cannot currently fill in that information in Mac apps such as iTunes, an FTP client, or an Instant Messenger app. In order to fill that information, you’ll need to copy and paste it into the fields because 1Password does not have system-wide access to apps.
