How to I clean up my apps and extensions? How do I know which is the latest app and latest extension? Can I just delete all 1password apps and all 1password extensions, and just reinstall the latest version of each? thank you

Hello @Gary_S! 👋

If you're using Safari then you'll want to see the following in your Mac's Applications folder:

  1. 1Password.app (this is 1Password 8 for Mac)
  2. 1Password for Safari.app (this is 1Password for Safari - which allows you to fill and save logins in the browser)

If you see something different, or are using a browser other than Safari, then let me know and I can advise further. 🙂

I have the following:

1Password.app. (version 8.9.4)
1Password for Safari.app (version 2.3.8)
1Password 7 2.app (version 7.9.6)

I tried to move the last one (version 7.9.6) to trash, but it says it cannot be moved to trash because it's open. But I do not see where any 1Password app is open.

I also have a 1Password extension in Chrome (1Password – Password Manager).

Thank you for the reply. You can remove "1Password 7_2.app" by following these steps:

  1. Quit all open web browsers.
  2. Right-click on the 1Password 8 icon in your menubar and click Quit.
  3. Open the Applications folder on your Mac.
  4. Double-click on "1Password 7_2.app" to open 1Password 7. You don't need to unlock the app.
  5. Right click on the 1Password 7 icon in your macOS menubar and click Quit 1Password Completely.
  6. Open the Applications folder on your Mac again.
  7. Drag "1Password 7_2.app" to the trash.
  8. Restart your Mac.

Let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂

Thank you very much, Dave. I followed your directions and it worked. No issues that I can see. 1Password 7_2 is in the trash, and I only have one extension in Safari and one extension in Chrome! I appreciate your help
