On the Mac you'll want both 1Password and 1Password for Safari. They are companion apps. The extensions for Chrome and Firefox do not show up as separate applications. For those browsers you'll just see 1Password in the browser listed in the browsers extensions tab. No they all would open with the password you use to access 1Password.com. This is the password you'll always use to access your data.

It could be that you have both 1Password 7 and 1Password 8 on your device. If you search for 1Password does it bring up multiple copies?
