When will 1Password 8 for Mac be available on the Mac App Store?

Not anytime soon (if ever). The official response is that AB is focusing on providing the app directly from the 1Password website. There’s a rather long forum thread here: https://1password.community/discussion/128419/version-8-in-the-apple-app-store/p1 all about 1P8’s lack of Mac App Store availability.

Hello @MichaelCorleone! 👋

1Password 8 for Mac isn't currently available in the Mac App Store. Instead, you can download the app directly through our website:

• https://1password.com/downloads

If your subscription is through Apple, you can still download the app directly from our website, and your subscription will carry over. There's no need to change your billing information. Our new built-in updater will keep you running the latest version of 1Password silently and automatically.

Please let me know if you run into any issues with installing 1Password 8 from our website and I'll be happy to help further. 😊

there are so far no updates available and all the issues listed in the forum exist for all users :( v8 isnt an option for now

@1P_Dave You didn't answer @MichaelCorleone 's question...

Will 1P8 be available on the App Store?

@wavesound

We don't know for sure. We're not saying "no," but it also isn't something we are actively planning. We'll push out any updates on this subject to this mailing list: https://1password.com/mac-app-store-subscribe/

Riteo,

Dave could have just said that rather than the non answer given. Thanks wavesound for following up.

So what is the best way of keeping track of when there are updates for 1P8 now?

Please don't pick on Dave. He's a nice guy, who gave the best answer he had. 🙂

The app automatically updates and will prompt you with a small banner at the bottom of the main window when the app needs to restart to finish the process.

Guys,
The problem with this is that my wife, my kids, my parents, eg everyone other than myself in my family that uses it, won't update. When it's through the mac app store the updates are applied to their computers automatically, but if they have to click on a banner, forget it. I've seen my wife completely ignore the update/restart button on chrome for upwards of a week.
So this "will prompt you with a small banner [...] to finish the process" solution isn't helpful. Completely automatic updates through the mac app store are.

Clearly the fact that you have a mailing list on this topic indicates there's user interest.

I've found with new version like this, you still need to login to the Mac App Store and download the new version. But once that is done, then all the updates are really easy. I do prefer using the Mac App Store when available.

Perhaps my security concerns are out of date, but I would rather download new and future versions from the apple App Store.

I have had 1password for a long time and remember having to buy multiple versions of the stand alone app both from 1password and the apple store due to either apple's requirements or to get it to work with iCloud etc.

I have the subscription service, it would be great with if we could update/upgrade the same way either through the apple App Store or the app itself.
