    Hello folks, 

    Thank you for the question! The "1Password Installer.app" would like to access data from other apps alert is normal and expected when installing 1Password 8 on a Mac running a modern version of macOS.

    The macOS alert is triggered when the 1Password 8 installer checks for older versions of 1Password on your Mac so that it can help you migrate items stored in a standalone vault in that older version to 1Password 8 and your 1Password account.

    If you know that you don't have any standalone vaults, and all of your items are already saved in your 1Password account, then you can choose to click Deny and the installation will proceed normally. 

    -Dave

Same issue here on macOS 15.6.1 using the latest installer downloaded from 1password.com (8.11.6).

Before the installation, I’ve removed the previous 1Password installation by following this guide: https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/1password-installer-would-like-to-access-data-from-other-apps/158640
