1Password for Safari and 1Password 7 - need both?

Hey @4dickeys:

1Password for Safari is designed to work with 1Password 8, the current version of 1Password for Mac. It's a separate app, whereas 1Password 7 for Mac included the Safari extension directly in the 1Password app.

You can get 1Password 8 for Mac here: https://1password.com/downloads/mac/

Ah - got it. Thanks for the assist!

@4dickeys

I'm happy that Jack was able to answer your question. 😊

So, do I need this 2nd app 1Password for Safari to keep 1PW 8 running ? Don't like its intrusiveness.

Hi @fhottinger,

You'll need 1Password for Safari if you plan on using the Safari browser extension, but it isn't required for 1Password 8 itself to run. 🙂

This seems very heavy weight and looks like you need to run 1password 7 in addition to 1password 8 just make it work it work with Safari. Any plans to correct this in a future version?

Hi @ChristophR:

To clarify, your choices for Safari are as follows:
* 1Password 7, which includes the 1Password extension compatible with 1Password 7 included
* 1Password 8 works alongside 1Password for Safari, downloaded separately

In other words, it isn't necessary to have both 1Password 7 and 1Password 8 installed to use 1Password 8 with Safari.

Dear all,
Could you please clarify the situation for iOS as well?
