Hello @Ragnorok! 👋

I don't recommend running 1Password 8 and 1Password 7 at the same time on the same Mac since that can cause issues with communication between the 1Password app and 1Password in the browser. The 1Password 8 installer will move 1Password 7 to the Trash and then keep a backup copy of the 1Password 7 app in a ZIP folder located in your Mac's Applications folder.

If you would like to use 1Password 7 alongside 1Password 8 then double-click on "1Password 7.app.zip" to extract the backup copy.

I hope that helps. 😊
