Question

A few dumb questions immediately after installing 1Password 8 on Mac

  1. Can I uninstall 1Password 7? if so what is preferred way?

  2. I have now have three apps in my Application folder: "1Password 7", "1 Password" (which is 8) and "1Password for Safari" version 2.0.6. How do I use the last one?

  3. I think the last one appeared after I used "Get 1Password for your browser" in 1P8 prefs. The install process led to small screen telling me to Open Safari Prefs and turn on the 1P for Safari extension, but there is no 1P for Safari extension there. It also said to turn off any old ones so I have unchecked the 1P 7.8.7 extension which was there.

  4. Is there a way of showing item counts in the main window?

Thanks


1Password Version: 8.2.0-44BETA
Extension Version: 2.0.6
OS Version: MacOS 12

I just got the notification that 1PW 8 is available to download. However, after reading this trail I'm reluctant to do so as the main complaints identified here are key elements I rely on in 1PW 7. So, as the last entry appears to be 12/2021, I'm wondering if all of these (i.e., Item Count repostioning and Categories to the Side Bar) have been resolved now that it is 05/2022? TIA!

Hi @koat0906

Categories can be shown in the sidebar if desired:

Item counts are available in two places:

  1. The sort selector at the top of the item list:
  2. At the bottom of the item list:

I hope that helps!

Thanks, Ben! One follow up question - just to ensure I read/do this correctly - BEFORE I download and install 1PW8, I need to delete any and all earlier versions from my Mac? Thanks in advance (again)!

Happy to help 😃 If you're upgrading from 1Password 7 w/ a membership then the v8 installer will take care of everything for you. If you're upgrading from an earlier version, let's chat: support@1password.com. :)

I have the 1PW7 w/ a membership, so I'm good to go. You'll notice this screen shot from my APP Folder. Can/should I trash any of these before the 1PW8 download and install, or will the DL&I take care of those too? (Hopefully my last question!!!)! THANKS, Ben!

You can trash all of them except 1Password for Safari, which 1Password 8 uses. 😊 I'm not sure where that "1Password 7 2.app" came from — that isn't something either our installer or the App Store names the 1Password app. Perhaps a name you manually applied? In any event — it can go.
