Oct 10: We're leaving preview! Please migrate to the official build of 1Password for Windows (Arm): https://1password.community/discussion/148614/1password-for-windows-arm. Thanks everyone for your feedback.

Aug 21: Updated the preview build with a version that does not expire. Please uninstall any previous versions of the ARM preview before installing this one.

Hello all!

It's an exciting time for Windows PCs with Microsoft's big announcements this week of the new Surface line, Copilot+ PCs, and, of course, the availability of devices based on the speedy, Arm-based Snapdragon X Elite processor.

Not to be left out of the fun, we'd like to share with you the first preview release of 1Password for Windows on Arm. 💪🥳

Of course, it's already possible to install and use 1Password on Arm-based Windows PCs, but until now the app has run in a slower x86 emulation mode. This is our first Arm-native build of the app, which means it is able to take full advantage of the new silicon.

Early indications are that 1Password for Windows on Arm is blazing fast (and we haven't even got our hands on the new Copilot+ PCs — yet!)

Things to know about the preview release

This preview build for Windows is based on the current stable channel release of 1Password (version 8.11). We are calling it a "preview" for three reasons:

We have done limited testing on real hardware outside of virtual machines, as the new Copilot+ PCs have only just been announced.
If 1Password is already installed on your PC, you'll need to uninstall the app before installing the Arm preview.
- Your accounts will transfer over to the preview build, but I strongly recommend setting up a recovery code before uninstalling the app to be safe.
This build of the app app will not update automatically — you will need to check back here for announcements and future releases.

Apart than these considerations, the build is a complete experience, and you should expect to find the full level of functionality that's already available in 1Password for Windows.

Get the preview release

If you'd like to be among the first to experience 1Password for Windows on Arm, download and install the preview release:

Please let us know how it works for you by sharing your feedback in this thread. The more quality feedback we have, the sooner we'll be able to exit preview and make the Arm version of the app available to everyone. 🔥

We've updated the build with one that does not expire, apologies for the inconvenience. We are working on getting the ARM release into our main distribution channel as well. You can find a link to the new build in the original post here.

Please uninstall any previous versions of the ARM preview before installing this one.

The link you provided only points to page 2 of this post, not the download itself.

Update: Nevermind, I noticed on top of page 1, you have the link to 8.10.40 and that works. Many Thanks..

Hi

Thanks for developing the ARM version so quickly

Will the ARM version be put on the windows store?
Also, the windows store implies that the ARM version is already there - is that true? Why does it say this?

Thanks
