Hello ronen! 👋
Good question! If you're using Safari then I recommend that you keep both installed. While the 1Password desktop app allows you to easily manage and edit your items, 1Password for Safari allows you to save and fill logins right inside of the browser. They work together to ensure that you have access to your items everywhere on your Mac.
Let me know if you have any questions. 😊

Congratulations on the new Mac! The great thing with 1Password is that once you install the desktop app and the browser extension, you'll see all of your items in 1Password on your new Mac as soon as you sign in.
Let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂

That was true for over a decade, but it hasn't been true for over a year now. ronen before you find yourself struggling with something that everyone else knows:
The safari extension always reports it is locked, even when the desktop app is unlocked. You have to disable the extension and re-enable it to get them in sync. Even then, fields in forms on the page will claim it's locked and direct you to unlock it -- even though both the app and the icon in the window are unlocked and show passwords.
Agilebits will send you off to uninstall and reinstall everything, but trust me that it's not your mac. It's 100% replicable with a brand new macbook and with nothing else installed. Boot a brand new macbook, install 1Password, put the macbook to sleep, wake it up, and you'll see this problem. It's been getting progressively worse, not better.
