Beta release channel yet still getting Nightly

A few months ago, I signed up for the nightly update cycle of 1Password, but after a few weeks of restarting the app every single day, I switched to the Beta channel. It has been a few months since I made the switch, and I still only get nightly builds now. Is there a way to force it to change?

1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.60 (81060018)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 15.2 (24C101)
Browser: Brave

Hello @FatBaz! 👋

I'm sorry that you're stuck on the nightly version of 1Password. It sounds like you might be running into a known issue with our updater logic that occurs after trying the nightly version. Try these steps:

  1. Make sure that you have a copy of your Emergency Kit and that you're signed into 1Password.com in the browser.
  2. Uninstall the 1Password and remove your local data.
  3. Download and install the latest beta release.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

This seems to still be a problem 1-2 years later? Is there really no way than a data wipe to switch from nightly? I’ve had my setting set to Production for half a year, and yet I’m on Nightly, and it keeps updating itself so it’s impossible to ever go back. This is a bit frustrating.

​@EarthAura 

I’m sorry for the inconvenience. You’ll need to reset the 1Password app to switch back to the production build as documented on our website: Stop using a prerelease version of the app or browser extension

1Password will download all of your items back to the desktop app when you sign in after installing the production version. You’ll just need to configure your settings again.
