3 years agoHello @JamesTKirk! 👋
Previous versions of 1Password would unlock using the password of the first vault or account added to the app. It sounds like you had an old standalone vault with a short password in the previous version and were unlocking the app using that vault's password. 1Password 8 no longer supports old standalone vaults and you use your actual account password to unlock the app.
I recommend using biometric unlock or Apple Watch unlock on any devices that support them so that you can unlock 1Password without having to type in your account password each time:
On your Macs:
On your iPhone and iPad:
- Use Face ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad Pro
- Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad
I hope that helps! 🙂
