1Password is extremely slow

Have 1Password 8.10.82 (latest update) running on Mac Studio M1 (64GB Ram) with Sequoia 15.5.  The "Kind" is Application (Intel) on "Get Info".  

1Password has gotten extremely slow - takes 5-15 seconds to respond when I click on anything.  I've shutdown and restarted the Mac to no avail. Enough to make me want to end my subscription and go to something else. Is this happening to anyone and is there a solution. Is there a specific version for Apple Silicon, and if so, how does one get it?

Hello @JF-2345! 👋

I'm sorry that you're running into performance issues with 1Password. Running the Intel-build on an Apple M1 Mac can indeed cause slowness. I recommend that you reinstall 1Password using the installer from our website: 


When you run the installer, it will replace the current app and install the correct build for your Mac. Your data won't be affected. Let me know if you run into any issues.

This took care of the problem.  Although 1Password was updating itself it must have just kept using the Intel version. Downloading a new install gave me the Apple Silicon version and now it is peppy!  Thanks so much.
