Please check your email. I replied to you earlier this morning.

I read it, followed your instructions, and the problems seem to be solved. I replied to you directly via email.

Thank you again for your clear help.

The problem seems to have been caused by using a Time Machine backup to install all my apps/files on a new computer with different CPU technology, e.g. moving from Intel to Apple M2. Apple silicon has been out a long time. Seems like this problem would have been solved by Agile Bits, or at least documented very clearly.

Regardless, thank you for your excellent help.

I have the same Problem: (though my Mac was talking German to me "1Password hat einen Fehler in Ihrer lokalen App-Datenbank festgestellt. Bitte kontaktieren Sie mailto:support@1password.com."
1. Restored Mac from Backup
2. Started 1Password
3. Would not start -> Error (s. above)
4. Delete 1password.app from Mac
5. Download and install new 1password app
6. Started new 1Password app
7. Would not start -> Error (s. above)
8. go to 1password.com in Browser - everything fine there
9. go to the 1password App on my IPhone - everything fine there

Now I am here and a little desperate - what should I do?
I understand I could find the Database and rename it or get help from 1password support
