1password - clean reinstall of windows

I am about to have to do a clean reinstall of windows and want to ensure 1password works properly afterward. Based on reading the community posts, it looks like all I have to do is download and install 1password (8) then login to my 1password account to re-activate and have access to my vaults - is that correct (and, of course, reinstall any addons for browsers).
Thanks

    Hello BG56,

    Thanks for your message and sorry for the late reply.

    1Password uses 1Password.com (or.ca/.eu) as the source of truth for your 1Password items. If you're able to sign in there and all of your data present and accounted for, after the reinstall of 1Password for Windows and the browser extensions, signing in to the app with the account credentials will sync your account data to your device.

    Through app integration, once you've signed in to the app, the browser extensions should be all set there as well!

    Let us know if you have any additional questions!
